Weapons Improved

What's actually changed?

Damage Per Shot:

Damage is determined by the Caliber Type and Firing Mechanism Quality & Weight,

poorly manufactured weapons generally do less damage than well manufactured ones.

Manufacturing Quality is determined using official lore, whilst ensuring every weapon remains useful.

Firing Rates:

Firing Rate is determined by the Firing Mechanism Quality & Weight as well as Caliber Weight,

better quality operating bolts will generally shoot faster than low quality ones,

larger calibers require a heavier operating bolt and therefore will shoot slower.

Firing Rates have also been synchronised with recoil animations where appropriate.

Semi-Automatics no longer have strict fire rate caps.

Effective Range:

Effective Range is determined by the Caliber Weight, Firing Mechanism Quality & Barrel Length,

longer barrels generally produce a higher velocity.

Things like Shotgun Pellets are no longer limited

to point-blank, but they won't be as effective

medium to long range.

Handling includes Recoil, Spread, ADS Speed & Equip Speed.

Recoil is determined by the Weapons Weight, Weight Distribution, Caliber Weight & Manufacturing Quality,

heavier weapons generally have lower recoil, but the distribution of weight is important.

Spread is determined by Manufacturing Quality & Weapon Type.

The weapons class is very important when determining stats, more info here.

ADS & Equip Speed is determined by the Weapons Weight & Size.

Reload Speed:

Reload Speed is determined by the Weapon & Magazines Weight/Size,

smaller and lighter weapons and magazines will generally reload faster.

All reload animations look smoother & flow much better.

Iconics now have thematic modifiers that make sense, no more magic magazine size changes.

Vehicle Combat:

Enabled Recoil & Sway in 1st person Vehicle Combat.

(Reduced by 33% by default)

Fixes:

Fixed inconsistent & incorrect magazine capacity:

I used official lore & the in-game round/magazine size to de
