Well, there are speed reloaders for revolvers, but AFAIK that’s it.

There’s no Gun Mechanism Attachment that exists which assists in speedier reloading?

@CaptainXtra
It’s best to have pockets full of pistols, which you then throw away when empty and pull out new pistols.

@CaptainXtra
Bigger magazines are almost always better, because the Sleight-of-Hand perk is pure sci-fi.

Is it better to have a faster reload or a bigger clip in a Pistol?

@CaptainXtra
AFAIK, they’re either returned to the owner, if stolen; or they’re destroyed.

What happens to the firearms of sentenced or dead criminals that were found on said criminal at the time of Police encounter?

Do Police Departments dismantle them or eventually give them to Gunshops, (if said weapon can be legally purchased in the first place), to re-sell?

@ElderD
True, DMR is a thing. On paper they are specced for like 600-700m effective range.

EDIT: Actually that’s enough for police snipers, so I guess you can have a 556 sniper rifle after all.

@Background Pony #5252
They are used for designated marksman rifles though

@CaptainXtra
556 doesn’t have enough range to be a cartridge for a “sniper” weapon. You can build a 556 gun that is more accurate and has a scope or an LPVO, but the range will be limited anyway by bullet drop and the transonic barrier. This is why the military does not bother, as far as I know. Only hobbyists play with this kind of thing.

@CaptainXtra
My understanding is that you can build a sniper rifle based on the M16/AR-15 platform.

What’s the dedicated Sniper Variant of the good old M-16?

If it even exists that is…

.357 Mag.

I don’t need a .38 when I already have a 9*.

*9mm

@Goku Black
.38 Special?
Or .357 Magnum?

I went to a gun show. Then I picked up a Smith & Wesson 686+.

Pictured is the 3” barrel model, similar to what I got.

This can’t be a good shooting posture for handguns.

@CaptainXtra
The picture shows the M79 grenade launcher, not a modded shotgun. Its author probably wanted to say that you load it like a break-action shotgun.

Games have to balance weapons and make them fun. (Unless they are meant to be realistic military simulators.)

I haven’t heard of people modding shotguns into grenade launchers. But IIRC earlier in this thread someone linked a firework launcher, very similar to a grenade launcher, that was meant to be made from scratch. I guess it was easier to make it from scratch than to mod a shotgun.

I notice an occasional trend in Shooter Games where Shotguns can be modified into dedicated Grenade Launchers and other crazy heavy cannon type weapons.

I also found this presentation which kinda reinforces that idea:

Are Shotguns actually the most mod-able long gun type IRL?

In terms of changing the core function of the base firearm entirely instead of adding attachments, the latter of which is the case with Rifles.

Does anybody know what gun Joel had on the 5th episode of the last of us?
As a fan of The Last of Us, I can say that the guns in the game are one of the most exciting and interesting parts of the gameplay. From pistols and shotguns to assault rifles and sniper rifles, there’s a huge variety of different firearms available to the player, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses.
What I love about the guns in The Last of Us is that they feel so realistic and true to life. The game developers clearly put a lot of effort into making sure that the weapons behave realistically, with accurate recoil, reload times, and other features that make each gun feel distinct and unique. To research more about this theme I usually go on this web site which helps me a lot.
Overall, if you’re a fan of guns and you haven’t played The Last of Us yet, I highly recommend checking it out. Whether you’re a fan of pistols, shotguns, or assault rifles, there’s something for everyone in this game, and the gunplay is just one of the many things that makes it such a memorable and exciting gaming experience.
