Title: A suggestion for improvment and realism.
Post by: Steel on 23-09-2009
Well i dont know if its possible or anything, but as shown in stalker, and in real life is weapon jamming, i mean it may be obsolete because it can be RP'ed. but who would RP it?
And i dont know if your already planning it... but the actual stalker inventory, everyone playing on the server generally knows how to play stalker, and new people will find it a little easier to use.

I agree with Dark Angel. I RP allot of cannon-like stalker things. Playing guitar, harmonica, will randomly have a weird ass job for any stalker, and course the weapon jamming. One thing I miss is the jobs Ecologists and Scientists gave out in the games, where's that?

Ah i see, i mean i did think about the whole RP side of it of course. But its only the real RP'ers that would simulate jamming, i myself personally would too

Even more so for LR300 users.

LR300s should jam like fucking all the time. Its a weapon that's extremely similar in design to the M16, so if a little breeze blows a little dust into the barrel, it'll jam. Fuck, if the weapons completely clear it'll have a 25% chance to jam :V

Missions take a long time to setup. It will take longer to setup even more 'Sequal Missions'.
Rewards are shite also because of Ecologists being so poorly funded.

Do not talk about things you know nothing about please. LR300s are piston driven. They are basically AK 47s with M4 form factors. Piston driven = Cleaner, more reliable, and cooler than direct impingement (what the Ar15 series uses, also known as the "shitting where you eat" method of action).

And ever since the M16A1 even the direct impingement Ars have been more reliable than people think. There was a test recently of a couple different carbines and although the M4 got its shit pushed in by such models as the 416 (also a piston driven AR) and the XM8 (basically a G36), it still jammed  "only" 882 times in 60,000 rounds. That's about a 1.47% chance of a stoppage, hardly the "25%" you're talking about. And this test was after all the rifles had been buried in sand, a clean rifle would probably jam less. Considering that the 416, which is a piston driven AR like the LR 300 jammed only 233 times in the same test (which is a .37% chance of stoppage), I'd say the LR300 is probably fairly reliable.

Its the truth about the whole piston side of things, creates less muck.

Apparently not given that half the people in this thread thought LRs jam 25% of the time.

The LR is a pretty fine weapon, mind you, anything is, as long as the user knows how to look after it. The L85A1 was awful, but the A2 has improved so much, its one of the finest assault rifle in the world now.

Before you told me, I thought the Lr-300 was a russian replicate of the m16 -___=

LR300 is made by an obscure US company known as ZM Weapons. It's not a very popular gun at all because it is extremely over priced when compared to similar ARs. Kind of weird that it's in STALKER actually as there aren't all that many of them in the real world...

Maybe in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., since its in the future, something has happend to the wapons/company so they aren“t that expensive anymore? Maybe the company got a real buyer and made some money for the production?

Hmm it seems to me because of the description in the game that maybe nato forces have now adopted it as their primary weapon, seeing as mercs etc use it, and its classed as a nato weapon.
