Do want
yeah (9)
90%
nope (1)
10%

we have a slider for selling items

i would like to have a slider for the number of bullets i would like to fire, on fully automatic weapons, during one turn

it would be separate from 1, 3, 5, 10 attack command

not available for bolt action and semi-automatic weapons

those weapons with burst option irl (m16a2, maybe other) keep the burst option

please?

Yeah I love this idea. Since ammo costs have increased drastically, this will adds more feel to the game by concerning how many bullets you want to fire at once. However, I think fully automatic weapons with slider should have much higher hit % penalty.

i am pushing for -10% cumulative per bullet, not sure about the max -% though for minigun it's -100% max for sure, for rifles maybe - 50%

We all die as we are born. We always find the end before the beginning. If to live means to continually search for wisdom, we'll find the end waiting after our last lesson. To finally see the subtlety of the end and understand it completely is what it means to die. We cannot help ourselves from growing wiser. Those who are helpless to their search for knowledge are those who cannot transcend death.

100% NO. Look Up M16.IT HAS ALMOST NO RECOIL.5.56 =.223 = .22 = TINY.The maximum Recoil For A Puny M26 should be 20% NOW AN AK47. That would be OK. 50% Recoil For an AK is realistic.It shoots cut off sniper bullets,With huge power loads behind them.Same for the rest of the 5.56 Except For the M249 SAW.I will Argue This Point.

I think this is an great ideal. Remember, some weapons have fire selectors = safe-single-3 burst (M4 carbines, just to name one) while some others are safe-single-fully automatic (magazine dump in under 5 seconds) Many weapons didn't even have single fire mode, the original AK47s, ppsh, original PKMs, etc et al. Also, there are weapons that have no perceived recoil in burst mode, H&K G11, AN-94 'Abakan', due to a special recoil dampening system combined with a high cyclic rate of fire in burst mode, meaning, no burst penalty.

The ability to chose between firing single/burst shots for automatic weapons and double tap for semi automatic weapons is on the long list of planned features and will be part of the more advanced combat system which also includes range and weapon classes attributes in terms of accuarcy and damage at varying ranges :-)

can we decide on the size of the burst in fully automatic weapons? i know it defeats the purpose of the hordes, since everyone can kill them then, but you were going to get rid of them anyway, right ? 30 individual zombies + spray shot ftw!
