It's magazine fed, should be fine. I can see a purpose, I've been Sniping (firing and hitting targets 200+m) using shotgun slugs recently and I've noticed that I'm able to go over walls and just behind cover with a little practice with the bullet drop. If this preformed the same function only quietly, it could possibly be useful.
oh come on how awesome would it be to see a fellow soldier come running into a room you are in after taking fire with an arrow sticking out of his *** it would be even better if we could get arrows with explosives on them that you manually detonate later... this way you could stick one into an enemy then detonate it a few seconds later after he retreats back behind cover near his buddies
WHY did they need to hop on that bandwagon... *sigh* Despite the fact that the whole idea is more than flawed, I have to admit it actually looks kind of cool. (THAT DOES NOT LEGITIMATE ITS EVENTUAL EXISTENCE THOUGH!)
by the look it will probably be a semiautomatic crossbow, maybe with different types of ammunition, i like it! it's probably coming this month :O
That sounds pretty cool, maybe it can be a certification for the crossbow, and there could be other like emp arrows, weak piercing arrows, etc.
I think it could be a great addition and a possibility for the grappling hook infils have wanted for a while. However, not looking forward to all the incessant whining about it no matter how it turns out. Forums are seriously making me start to hate gamers of today.
This is going to end up just like pump-actions unless this thing has a great refire rate. Sucks as a weapon for the wielder, and annoying as hell OHKs for the victims.
No ... Adding crossbows to a game with plasmaguns is just moronic ... how would those arrows penetrate our shields or armor ? Its even worse since most likely its going to be more powerful then a damn sniper rifle. There is a reason why bows and arrows aint used in warfare anymore.
shotguns aren't used as a standard weapon by any military anymore (or ever really) and yet almost every soldier here still has one.. lol
I demand my pointy stick in this Sci-Fi FPS! And a flintstone knife and a legbone cudgel while you are at it!
Um .. it pretty much says there too that they have been used ever since by only handfull of "specops" outfits from countries that aint considered to be shining stars of military actions or making sense ..... on some superniche situations 0.o
If it were a Vanu weapon you would probably have charge it up for 30 seconds or plug into a wall outlet to use it.
