Is the Pax TRUESHOT rly the best fanning weapon? And how did fanning weapons change?

Is the Pax TRUESHOT rly the best fanning weapon?

Im NOT talking about the normal PAX!

Cause there was a great youtube video were a great person (dont remember who exactly, sorry!) tested every fanning weapon very thorougly.

Best was (unsuprisingly the normal Conversion and IN MY OPINION the Lemat (Because of 9 shots), making 9 shots so much better than 6. there was also some 7 amo gun that was pretty okay.. was it scottfield? i dont remember and i dont wanna open the game atm)

BUT times changed and after i took a 1 year break my (pretty highly skilled) friend told me the TRUESHOT is actually the best fanning weapon now. i mean.. theres not really ONE best, because ammo mathers too for example, or the uppercut can be a good mix between "using it normal/ and fanning, even if of course uppercut is not generally the best fanning pistole)" but is it true that its kinda the new numba 1?

what do you feel about it? cause im 99% sure none of you tested in scientifically?

i tried it a bit and i liked it a lot!

also are there any other chances? some fanning weapons got buffed or nerved since i played last time? (around a year ago)?

Never tested it myself, but from my experience I have always had good luck with just the normal conversion pistol. Followed by the normal Pax and I guess it would make since that the trueshot might be better cause it has better stats, but as I said, I never tested it nor use that pistol at all really.

As for the Lemat, sounds good on paper but in practice I think it is crap... seems to spray to much. Just like the chain pistol and thats probily due to just balance.

Quick Addition: This also falls alot to just practice. Once someone uses a weapon in a certain way enough they can just get a 'feel' for where the first, second, third etc etc shot will probily land.

i know the le mat of course sprays a lot, but it got 9 ammo and is a bit better than the chain pistol! i totaly get that its not the best fanning weapon aim-wise of course! btw i never use it A LOT. its more of a theory.. and i could be wrong! i used it sometimes tho and its better than the chain pistol so it was kinda fun for near kills ;)

yeah im pretty good at fanning. i think you get especially good, after you know how to just 2 times fan or one time or 3 over a bit higher distances, and i got that down and i feel like the trueshot is perfect for that (of course the conversion too)

anyways, thanks for the answer!

I agree with everything said here.
Caldwell Conversion has been my go to fanning pistol for 5k hours. it is so reliable, especially like this guy said once you use a weapon enough you just know how it works. I sometimes use a Pax/Pax Trueshot.

[Way She Goes]

It is.

& It's the best dual combo

my personal respect for everyone who uses fanning and levering and does not spend 45 min in a bush with a silencer

[Vanilla Gorilla]

I couldn't tell you, fanning only works when other people use it. The RNG gods are not with me.

[Socipat]

No.
From what I have seen, it is still the Nagant M1895 with high velocity.

There is actually no RNG with fanning and levering. You just need to learn how to do it. Same goes for dual wielding.

somehow agree.

i wouldnt go so far say to say "no rng at all" but could be the case. just how its used it might be like that actually!

but thats why i talked about fanning 1-3 times only over "higher distance" (just meaning the "little bit higher distance between over were you guys who arent as good probably "normaly fan" so try that "trick"! cause it kinda shows the level of control you have!

sitting in a bush and fanning? i wouldnt say i NEVER do that, but its like a shotgun (with the stuff i wrote above). if you are a shotgun user who only sits in a bush.. thats on you! i dont do that normaly tho :D also hard to make that work on the new map dude! ;) i hate crouch-walking trough trees.. to me they are more like sound barriers to wait when to du your thing. crouch walking trough cover is too dangerous quite ofte..

also theres good and bad camping in hunt and a lot of it is good (sitting as a solo the WHOLE ROUND in the exit is basically a good example of BAD camping most would agree on). defending the bounty with fanning obviously is part of the game.

if you rly think its that rng try again! aim lower! fan a bit slower maybe! 3 taps + 3 more taps. just play more and it gets super easy. fanning is amazing. the only people i know who use it less are really good hunt lets players, cause it would be boring!

Pvp, True shot for best spread, conversion pistol for best budget (and still top 3), and my usual go to is scotfield swift. Honourable mention goes to lemat because of it's ammo capacity, average spread, and a pocket shotgun in case everything is still not going your way

PVE, Nagant silencer, can use it to kill PVE mobs and use fanning for PVP

Best ammo imo is FMJ because you can use fanning and wall bang someone, making people bleed or putting them on fire is eh when you can just kill them.

Edit- Sometimes I take dragonfire or starshell on lemat pistol if I have fanning to burn bodies with.

may ich respresent to you NOOBS: the HARDCORE PROGAMER BEST PLAYER ALIVE i was talking about before!

agree! it was the scottfield i used often too.

(makes no sense to give him best answer, but im corrupt, what can i say!?) :P

I dont think there is THE best pistol for fanning. It comes down to preference, playstyle, your loadout and of course circumstance. Do you single tap or want to spray? Does the pistol also have to perform well as a range option? Is it a do or die scenario or do you have time to reload? The true shot has a slightly better spread over the conversion, but higher recoil and is noticeably slower. The true shot has a pretty decent mv in general, tho and fmj only reduces it by 5 which makes it also strong in medium range as well, if your loadout demands it.

While the Lemat has higher spread having three more bullets makes it more forgiving, if you miss or more likely to kill multiple targets, on top of having a shotgun option as back up. In a different scenario being able to quickly reload with the scottf swift might make all the difference.

I like the No. 3 revolver. Because its fast model can quickly load bullets, although it has the slowest firing rate among these pistols, the advantage of fast loading can turn the situation around in desperate situations.

i think Silen had the best answer, he actually gave "scientific" (lul) answers and he also deserves 500.000 dollaz and a nobel peace price, but trough worldwide corruption and nepotism he will probably stay poor like pablo picasso and never get the reckognition he deserves.

yeah good joke

who doesnt love the famous bornheim/bergmann REVOLVER

btw i never understood why the ingame bornheim didnt look as amazing as the real bergmann? like for a gun enthusiast like me, the REAL bergmann is literally the most beautiful old weapon on the whole planet

ooooh.. copyright.. (i knew that from the beginning, just hid it to do my favorite hobby and talk about guns in a weirdly s'xualized way)

i'll leave you with dat hot piece of as':

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergmann_1896

ill pay you 1 runescape wood if you show me a better looking gun from back than or before that! (oh and decorated weapons that have normal versions too dont count! so keep your king louis BS in the closet!)
