The B.A.R standup precision is what needs to be fixed ^^ http://youtu.be/4V1Wtp2Jb6k
Btw, i wouldn't mind if the STG44 did some more damage, the recoil is petty tough and it's harder to aim with than k98, but they use the same caliber, it would be OP at medium ranges though but then again the americans have the M1 "Empty-all-8-on-them-in-your-belly-from-point-blank-range-*pling*" Garand. 2 from the m1 carbine would be quite nice also^^
wow wow wow buddy. The STG44 does not have the same round as the Mauser K98.
The Mauser K98k is chambered in the 8x57mm IS (or 7.92x57mm rimless). This gives it roughly 820M/S muzzle velocity with an energy of 4000 joules. The round weights 197 grains IIRC.
The STG 44 uses the 7.92x>>>>33<<<< mm "Kurz" round. It fires a 125 Grain bullet at a muzzle velocity of >685M/S< and a muzzle energy of 1909 Joules. Thats Significantly less then the K98k"s 8x57mm. it shares the same bullet diameter but Not the same bullet weight, length and case lenght.
"Empty-all-8-on-them-in-your-belly-from-point-blank-range-*pling*" Garand
Well this set the Garand apart from the K98k. However the garand has horrible recoil and muzzle jump(A bit to much actually) And no way can it beat a STG44 at short range. The M1 garand fires the 7.62x63mm (.30-06) round. 165 grain projectile at 3894 joules (850M/S). Do the math.
2 from the m1 carbine would be quite nice also^^
Yes and no. The M1 carbine uses the .30carbine (7.62x33mm) round. Its often confused with being called "simular" to the 7.92x33mm kurz (and even a copy, wich it is not.)
BUT
The .30 carbine has a muzzle energy of 1311 joules, A Muzzle speed of only 606 M/S with a simular weight round however. it has 40% less recoil then the 7.92x33 however.
The big diffrence in these cartidges is that the .30Carbine is infact an enlarged pistol round. While the 7.92x33 Kurz is a cut down Rifle cartidge. Up to 175 meters the M1 carbine was sufficient in stopping power. But beyond that its round nosed bullet and slower speed made it less effective. Something wich the 7.92x33mm kurz did not suffered from. It stayed equally effective as it left the barrel up to 300 meters.
So at short range, the M1 carbine Should be simular to the STG44. As it was ment as a self-defense weapon. But on longer ranges the STG44 should remain 2 shots while the M1 needs to be 3 shots. And this is like this currently ingame
So a final summary
The STG44 is fine
The k98k and Garand are fine
The M1 carbine is fine.
See the diffrence?
now lets put the 7.92x33mm kurz next to the 7.92x57mm Mauser
