This is especialy true in regard to exotic ‘weapons, which probably find as much ot mare use in games than they doin rea life. The Importance of clea, accurate understanding of firearms varies from game to game. nary moder ‘game that has ay claims torealsm, however its critical that playershave some understanding of these their most comman tools Pistols and submachinegunscfferfrom longarms nt justin sie and shape, but loin power, range, and accuracy Popular mela do not genelly appreciate ths difference, nor do many games Wile even the lightest pistol rounds are lethal, pistols ad submachineguns (wich fre pistol rounds) n general do not compare othe power of ongarms Rifles and machineguns are not jst lethal at longer ranges, but also have the ability to shoot though cover that would stop pistol rounds There are several reasons fr ths difference in power.

Powerful tounds havea lot of energy and create deafening muzze blasts and enormaus recoils when red ‘ut of light, short-barreled weapons. n fact, all ofthese factors hold true within the realm of pistols, as wel.

The assault weapons appearing in Utramoder Firearms a20arethe riltary versions, with autofre capably. ‘More misconceptions suround the use of silenced weapons than ay other type of firearm. Gans make noise in three ways. Fst and foremost isthe muzzle bls, the noise made by the Inyersonic gasses leaving the muzale ofthe weapon ais Fred. Secondly, any bullet traveling faster than the speed of sound-as most do~creates an audible noise sel, a smal sonic boom.

All silenced weapons include some sort of suppressar—a device that taps the propellant gases as ‘they leave the weapons muzzle and slows them to below te speedo sound.
