Type 38 Vs Type 99

[anwip3]

Hello friends,can anyone tell me the differences between Type 38 Arisaka rifle and Type 99?(If there are any)
Just curious,and thinking whether I should switch rifles. My Type 38 is level 29 while my Type 99 is level 12. Type 38 has better sights in my opinion.

It's been awhile but I believe the 38 is more accurate while the 99 is more powerful or something like that. Doesn't matter to me though because I'm a high enough level to take the Springfield as the Japanese. That and I don't play Rising Storm anymore.

the type 99 is the replacement rifle. the type 38 was horribly outclassed at the time. but they kept it around because they were desperate.

So basically the type 99 hits much harder but accuracy took a hit because it was much shorter than the type 38.

type 99 all day

Oh I get it,Type 99 does more damage.But less accurate than the Type 38.
I think I'll stick to my 38,I prefer being accurate.Thanks!

Type 38 fires a 6.5mm round type 99 fires a 7.7mm round slighty bigger than the Springfield and Garand rounds.

Type 38 has a faster bolt slightly.

Their accuracy is the same. In fact the 99 becomes more stable than the 38 when you unlock the monopod stand for the 99.

The muzzle velocity of the 38 is ever so slightly higher than the 99.

For me its the 99 all the way. I want to kill what I shoot one shot.

Oh I see,better start using the Type 99 more.
By the way,why do Type 99s have monopods installed in them,I dunno but,it seems pretty useless to have a monopod on an infantry rifle.

Why did Type 99's have anti-aircraft sights?

Because it seemed like a good idea at the time, I guess.

I like the Type 38 better myself. But I spend most of my time playing as the Mortarman, too.

how about the fact that the type 99 has wayyy better iron sights?

That just comes down to personal preference.

Gonna be boring and technical, but Type 38 has the tightest shot grouping, flattest firing, fastest round and most potancy of all rifles in the game from what I remember. It also happens to be the least powerful rifle in the game.
Most of these bits are very minor when fighting under 50m though, and Rising Storm is not really too great for long range fights.

[=(e)= Lemonater47]

Most potent rifle? Whatever that means lol.

It does have the fastest round. But the 99 isn't actually that much slower.

38 Also has the least recoil. In fact when examined by US specialists it was the strongest in terms of firing mechanism strength rifle in the war. It could of handled a much bigger round. But they only put a 6.5mm round in there.

The 99 had AA sites which were pretty much useless unless there's lots firing at one plane. And yes they made a monopod for it as well. For stable fire at long ranges. There was also a sniper variant but the type 97 sniper rifle (essentially a type 38 with a scope on it) was used more often.

from what modders on the tripwire forums say, the type 99 (along with all other rifles EXCEPT type 38) do 115 points of damage. The Type 38 does 105 points of damage. It takes 100 points of damage to kill a human in RO2/RS (although the health sytem complicates things alot). So the type 99 does more damage, but it doesn't really matter. The Type 38 is technically more accurate, but you wont notice it until after 400+ meters, since you will never shoot that far in Rising storm, this doesn't matter as well. So basically, it comes down to personal prefrence. I personally like they Type 99 better, but thats me.

Beyond 50m the 38 quite often doesn't kill anyway.

Ugh! Was very tired and could have explained that better. As Flanker-37 mentions using the data from the gamre files the 38 has the highest ballistic coefficient of any rifle in the game, both eastern front and far east. From what I can tell it retains the shot power over longer distances, but as many have said you are not really going to notice this in Rising Storm's small maps. Correct me if I'm wrong with that though.
Bullet speed is something I will argue about, but mainly with the sniper rifles as personally I find the Type 97 up to 100m hits more or less where I aim it while I need to lead the target slightly with the type 99.

The only time I've noticed a massive differance between the 99 and the 38/97 is on the custom map "Stream" where there is a point where I can snipe Americans from 250m. Type 97 can hit easily, though I mostly relied on bleed-outs, and the Type 99 was annoying compansating for round speed, spread and bullet drop.
