Title: Bozar using 7.62 ammo rather then .223 ammo.
Post by: Ulrek on October 20, 2011, 06:49:52 am
Opinions?

Personally i think it'd make more sense for a BG sniper rifle to use a -bigger- bullet, and since we lack a full size .50 cal, 7.62 anyone?

Why not implement the 50.cal then, adding new type of ammo shouldn't be hard I think.

This sounds like a high priority suggestion to be implemented. Now I could finally put a good use to my bozar carpet.

I suppose, in theory, but 7.62mm bullet is not very good compared to .223, and since it is a sniper, it should prolly stick to that until 7.62mm gets the boost it deserves.

Actually, since 7.62 ammo has damage adj, it should crit higher, even though it won't pierce armor as well, making it work differently then .223, which you'd want anyway for a BG sniper.

Suggestion is good and simple but you should have saved this when bozar actually comes into play.

I believe they plan to add it as a rare weapon next wipe, but i'm not sure if that was their final choice, so i suggested this now for next session.

Unique ammo would make much more sense if it's supposed to be as rare as gauss pistol for example.
It's ammo that limits the use of rare weapon.

Sure, but this weapon is not quite as good as gauss pistol. So the availability of the ammo can be there, but the rarity of the gun itself remain.

Agreed.
BTW, Bozar is based on a .50 cal sniper weapon, so ammo should be .50 cal.

If the dev's want to add and balance a new ammo type then by all means they should, the only point of this suggestion is that it should use a bigger bullet.

14MM AP.

NATO standard .50 is 12.7 mm, Rus (Warsaw Pact Standard) I think use 14.5mm for equivalent weapons.

So just make it 14MM.

Closest match.

and only 14mm pistol uses it at the moment so this would be good

But actually the Bozar is a Beretta, using NATO caliber, so we should add .50 or make Bozars in the wastes "rechambered" for the .45 caliber.
