Martini-Henry

[Mikamus]

Aside from the riposte version, why would you ever use this over the vetterli?

[Toxin]

Cheap, long range and sights are really accurate, almost like a needle. Really good for long range headshots.

There is nothing to compare between the Martini and Vetterli.Vetterli is medium ammo,less damage,bigger damage drop and everything "less" that comes with medium ammo.
In the same range that you will drain enemies' meds with the Martini,you will tickle their buttholes with the Vetterli.
The Martini is comparable with the Sparks,Sparks is better for longer range and keeping your distance,Martini is for less range than Sparks(still lonng range though)and pushing closer after tagging.You can see that from their variants too.Martini is a shorter range Sparks,and that is only because of the bullet velocity.Otherwise there would be zero reasons to pick Sparks over Martini besides the variants.That s why they made it 400 m/s.

Martini is better compared to the sparks because they're both long-ammo single-shot rifles. In that way they're both very similar and the sparks may seem better, but riposte is god-tier, and it can come with a medium scope while the sparks has a long-scope.

I use the riposte till i get the saber ... vetterli is ok but i like singleshoot weapons more.
The riposte is the only bayonet that can oneshoot a hunter if you hit the chest.

Riposte seems a lot stronger than saber, has longer range and doesn't take up one of your two slots

[McMurphy]

The saber is a small slot and faster and has the same reach as the riposte.
i want to play shotbolt so i have to drop the martini riposte, still a great weapon!

The way I see it with 400m/s velocity you aren't getting many long shots out of it, sure you can wallbang better but you need to reload between shots. Within effective range of such a slow bullet velocity the vetterli just does pretty much everything better.

from my point of view neither vetterly nor springfield are realiable weapons at medium to far range they both lack penetration and if you are fighting at slightly long range damage drop is huge you might even need 3 shots to kill a hunter. also it has lower pen it cant pen thestell ♥♥♥♥♥ while martini can. also martini is the fastest reloading single shot in game so you dont really lose in case of followup shot but what really make henry really good is that you can follow up with pretty much any pistol and kill is guaranteed. so no for me henry is objectivle better.

Really? I could swear i've been one shotting people with the other bayoneted weapons as well.

None of the others do more than 150 damage so it'd have to be a headshot

Riposte main here,of course riposte is the best variant,but all bayonets in the game have exactly the same range with the saber.I know many people get confused probably because of the different animations of the weapons,but all of them have exactly the same reach.I have personally tested all of them one by one.Bomb Lance has the biggest reach of everything,Riposte/Saber/all bayonets come second with the same reach,and axe/hammer have significantly less.I only havent tested the talons,but i believe they will have the same reach as the axe,or maybe a bit longer which would put them second to last.

The real question is why would you use the martini henry over the sparks, btw the roload time is pretty fast for being a one shot rifle.

They are to be played differently,depending on your playstyle.

Martini reloads faster and can come with a medium scope or a bayonet, while the sparks comes with a silencer or long scope.
I'd say the faster reload and smaller scope makes the martini better suited for shorter ranges than the sparks.
