Hinrik91 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Basically, i find it rather annoying having to chamber a round every time i equip the Vintage Rifle. I've done some reading, and see that this is the standard for the first generations of Martini-Henry, since the lack any form of safety beyond an empty chamber. However, later versions and conversions did feature a safety catch. It's be nice if someone made a mod that either just added the safety function, or preferably also added the visual for the safety. I do like the realism of the vanilla, but it'd be nice to be able to opt out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraquar Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Just out of curiosity, what is annoying? That is a stalking weapon, which means you should have the drop on your quarry - they shouldn't even know you are there. Whether it's loaded or unloaded shouldn't matter. Take your time (you got all day) and drop your quarry. It's not the kind of weapon you go all "Westwood" with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your time (you got all day) and drop your quarry. It's not the kind of weapon you go all "Westwood" with. Fair enough, but it just throws off my ingrained habits. I select the gun, aim down the scope, pull the trigger and... nothing. I've now perhaps lost the perfect shot. I admit that it's a skill issue, but it's a frequent cause for frustration. I may train myself out of it, but i'm just so accustomed to having a round chambered it might take me awhile. Also having to press R to reload rather than just clicking LMB on an empty starting the reload also throws me off. Hitting R after every shot is not what I'm used to with guns that have magazines, which is basically every sniper rifle in the franchise. I honestly approve of the mechanism, makes it more authentic, but that's why i'm asking modders and not the developers for options. It should stay the way it is, but it would be nice to have the choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraquar Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Yeah, it's an acquired taste. If I have this in my load order, I usually go all primitive action - go full ham with Manual Reload and enjoy life in the 1800's. Colt Single Action Army with revolver fanning, Martini-Henry, Winchester 1892, etc. As long as I don't use the Inventory screen to swap weapons (swap with hotkeys instead) - they stay unloaded if I've shot my last round. Next time I pull them out - nothing. Duh, gotta reload bruh. ----- I can see your point if it's the only weapon in your load order like that - and you don't use Manual Reload. It's the ugly duckling in your load order an you never get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
