Comrade_Jerkov Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 The potato mashers were simply to use. They were the only explosives in FA (other than Claymores) that simply OWNED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 ah yes, the good old days of grabbing steilhands, pineapple grenades and a m79 and just pwning everybody*sniff*I miss the m3 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter6 Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 i use to own with stielhand. i would get steil's, frags, concs, a clay and id be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Forget the steil. I miss a time when I wouldn't see an annoying "cannot fire while moving" message. (T_T) I though this was a realism mod; in real life I can fire a weapon while moving. Instead of not allowing it to fire, why don't they make it cause you damage if you're moving while firing, ne? I think that's a good idea. ( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpio Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Try firing a real m82 while moving and keeping your balance. Its a heavy/large weapon and it has alot of recoil. Or hell even hitting anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enders Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 stg was...well...it was a good friend of minewe went to parks together, had great parties, and generally had great times together.But then the police came and they...they...*sobs* they said he was spam...and took him away!

Comrade_Jerkov Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 I'd rather the potato mashers than those goddamn hissing M67's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Try firing a real m82 while moving and keeping your balance. Its a heavy/large weapon and it has alot of recoil. Or hell even hitting anything I know. That's what I'm saying. Why not make it so that you take damage or something when you fire it while moving? That would be a more realistic alternative to "cannot fire while moving." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotty Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 yes, you arent totaly stationary while trying to fire. any HMG, or the m82 AND YOU FALL ON YOUR ASS AND DIE muahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potatoe_Cannon Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I miss push too, it's only realistic when you shoot somebody that they get forced back a little, it would help a lot with idiots blocking spawns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNISHER Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Actually, the M82's recoil is not as bad as you think. It is comparible to shooting deer slugs through a pumpaction shotgun. The reason most people think it has massive recoil is simply because the huge round.It's semiautomatic action takes alot of the felt recoil and uses it to operate the action.However, most people still can't shoot it accurately and fast like they do in FA.There are videos of the gun in action, just search and you will see...

DeadRoach Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Training video that can be found here http://www.biggerhammer.net/barrett/ states that the "felt recoil" on an M82 is comparable to a 12 gauge firing slugs, as Punisher pointed out. But anyway, I also missed the Stieldhands. They are how I got most of my kills, even more than my Sterling. I wouldn't mind the current grenades if they weren't so hard to get set up and throw.

mg23 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Thank God they got rid of those, I hated rushing and twenty steils coming flying out of nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade_Jerkov Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 But they were fun and really out of place.Stielhands were from WWll. Why were they in Firearms in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasHuhn Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 -Potatoe_Cannon]I miss push too, it's only realistic when you shoot somebody that they get forced back a little, it would help a lot with idiots blocking spawns. There used to be a push for FA: i know it was in 2.6; i'm fairly sure it was in 2.65; and i'm almost 100% sure it was taken away in 2.7 - The push back code also developed a few nasty other glitches and bugs in firearms; if i remember correctly, so it was taken out.

Sharpshooter6 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 i loved the stielhand in the greatest of all FA maps, omaha. youd storm the beaches and throw your stielhands into the bunkers, killing 3 or 4 guys. it was great. i was the ultimate spam master in 2.7.

DeadRoach Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Yeah, same with the sterling. :x If by that you mean "it's from WW2 why was it in Firearms", I think you may be confused with the British Sten which is very very simular. Info I looked up on it here http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Firearms/Subs/Sterling_L2A3.htm states that the Sterling was produced in mid 50's up to the late 80's.
