    Is this working as intended? Whenever I switch my gun to semiauto it seems like I have to account gravity.

    Whilst that clearly seems to be a bug, isn't the Saron the only "Laser" weapon? Aren't the rest of them plasma weapons?

    The only infantry weapons, IIRC, that should have drop for Vanu are the sniper rifles.

    Laser, plasma, photon, ion or whatever you call it. In movies its always the pew pew gun that runs on batteries. :)

    Weird. Seems to be a bug. Is this new? Did it happen before?

    I did not try it with a different weapon yet and also never noticed it before.

    The point being that a glob of plasma should lose speed and drop, whereas a laser should not.

    My H-V45 doesn't suffer from it. So its most likely a bug since it makes no sense to punish someone for using single fire mode.

    Single fire for VS weapons (except I believe for the default Sniper and pistols) results in bullet drop. Think it was done for "balance", but is pretty ridiculous if our strength is supposed to be accuracy and 0 bullet drop.

    Having to arc bullets from my Flare at 150 meters is ludicrous.

    Well what do you expect? Of course VS rifles have drop because of the heisenberg cat in the waveform principle - the collapse of the event horizon superpositions the flux capacitors. How else would you expect the non-locality of the planck constant to remain constant given the positron interference??

    Vanu lasers.

    Plasma has a mass, and thus will be affected by gravity.

    If it were a true LASER weapon there would be no delay, you trigger the targe gets hit almost instantly. Why you ask, it is a LASER and thus travels at the speed of light.

    You ever seen StarWars?

    And why isn't it affected in full auto mode? You argument is invalid!
