.338 vs. .50 BMG

[Grizzly]

Why does the .50 BMG do less damage than a .338? A .50 round is over twice the weight at 650 to 750 grains vs. the 338 at 200 to 300. They both have roughly the same muzzle velocity and the .50 hits with about 10,000 more ft. lbs. of energy. Not to mention, I don't care what helmet you have on, get domed by either one of those rounds and your head won't be there for a second shot.

Well for one, I highly doubt the devs fully invested into making extremely accurate guns from real life. Nor did they hired a gun expert(I mean you've seen their reload animations for the guns.. :/ horrid)

I use a AWS.338 Bingo, which falls under the Bullseye gear. It's meant to hit hard towards enemy's weakspot. So the gun's dmg scales on weakspot for pve, and crit/cdmg for pvp. It does hit extremely hard because of the gun's passive.

Would be nice you showed a video in game of the comparison so people can see.
Even I know a .50 BMG does hit harder irl, coz I do play other games with better gun mechanics. But ya, welcome to Once Human... >.>;

Its a video game with lovecraftian themes and you can get a anthropomorphic mushroom to harvest crops. Its not meant to be a realistic shooter.

The choices for the guns and their roles are quite questionable. It seems like they just went for BIG because it's cool or something, then downscaled them anyways. The semi-auto sniper should have been a SR-25 or someting similar, and it would be more fitting if the revolver was a .44 or .357 instead of a .500.

The Gun Play Sucks. Simple As. Not enough Variety, not Balanced remotely right. The guns do not feel right, do not aim right, do not recoil right, do not sway right.. Ranges and damage fall off are not right..

It's quite abysmal.
