Firearm malfunction?

[Anderson]

During beta it rarely happened to me, but sometimes the weapon wouldn't fire.
Watching a video i saw a similar situation:

Is it a bug or can the weapons jam?

Bug, there is no weapon malfunction feature in the game and they don't plan on adding one.

I don't, that's only something I think make sense in a realistic game with a presistent world where your equipment can potentially degrade and maitinence is part of the game. But not for a match based multiplayer shooter like RS2.

Guns also rarely "randomly" jam, usually there's reasons for it which can be identified and corrected. Having something like "% chance to jam" would be lame imo and not that realistic. Not to mention that realistic or not most people would just find weapon jamming they can't control extremely fustrating, and to make it a "feature" of the game also means a player is probably running into malfunctions in an order of magnitude higher than someone in the real world does.

a malfunction feature wouldnt work well in a game like this. in something like escape from tarkov (which has a malfunction feature) it works because you keep using the same gun and it will degrade, get sand in it, get wet ect...

It could be easily. Lets say Full Auto Fire= High Chance on Jam, obove 200-300 Bullets Shot Higher Chance of a jam. 600 Bullets.....1000 Bullets and so on. So the Gun would start as BRAND New with evry Respawn or could even count for one Game. But who need that much realism ingame? In Reallife you also work with more people together 2-3 firing 2-3 reloading so if it would jam you dont need to hurry to clean it but ingame you would just lose the battle because you never have the same cover as in reallife.

In theory its really cool, but to be honest all the time it happened to me i ended up dying. It was kinda frustating.

It's not even that realistic, for military spec weapons in this era(yes including an M16A1) to run into a malfunction under normal use would take thousands of rounds without cleaning. You have vets who came back from Iraq and Afganistan that either saw only a few malfunctions for the several months they were there to ones that never had a single malfunction. And an M16A2, A3, or A4 are basically just M16A1's with piccatinny rales and slightly beefer parts here or there in the design, nothing substantial at all.
So it isn't exactly realistic to start inducing several malfunctions to a player's weapon in a game within 40-60 minutes of play time imo.

And short of being caked in mud or dumped in really dirty silty water your gun should be going bang every time you pull the trigger assuming it has ammo. A little bit of hard use and dirt shouldn't be stopping your gun, including the M16.

Malfuntioning guns could be a great feature in the game if they use it correctly.

Oh God, no. Keep RNG out of multiplayer games.

it'd be cool if like it had a chance to jam if you were just in the water or mud or something but yeah otherwise there's very litle reason why a gun you've had for five minutes would break. Might also be good as a mechanic if you pick a gun up off the ground.

It was only cause unfair deaths

There's no such thing you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scrub.

Here, if it "satisfies* you people.

If you are using a machine gun (excluding the fixed HMGs or Emplacements), shooting the Machine Gun over time will heat the weapon. The longer you keep this up, the more likely you are at risk of warping the weapon. When a weapon's barrel is warped, it becomes ineffective and hard to place accurate shots.

Also, if you're gun isn't firing, you most likely sprinted while reloading at the wrong time, you were far into enemy territory, or an obstacle was in you way making it impossible shoot (can be prevented by retracting your weapons stock).

Dont know what you are talking abot but my famas runs so bad after 1000 bullets. Sure it didnt jam evry shot but after a good ammount or longer auto fire bursts it had some problems. So you should ask the people you talked with how many bullets did they shot? As i speaked with US troops most of them had problems with the m16/m4 too. Germans aswell...and so on. Thousands of rounds you say...not rly. Even the barrel is done after arround 10000 bullets. If you single fire most of the time...what you normally do....most jam fixes are fast fixed...mag out bullet out reload...and it works fine again. So how often do it rly happens. I couldnt say that generally as it based on the condition of the weapon, weather, and if it hits dirt/sand..and so on.

read this and you will see how bad the m16a1 worked.
