WW2 Submachine Guns

[Soldier8Boy]

I'd just like to point out that very few of them could fire single shots, but instead would fire a short burst even with the slightest pull of the trigger.

Could this be fixed, please?

[KTottE]

Yes, well the single-shot option could be removed from the config.cpp. At least, I think it could.

[Soldier8Boy]

It could quite easily, but I'm just hoping they will. Their goal is historical accuracy, well then single shot on SMGs has to go. The MP-44 and carbines aren't SMGs, I'll point out. Mp44 was the first assault rifle.

[KTottE]

Sturmgehwer actually, not assault rifle =)

[Spliff air]

actuly the mp44 was the worlds first assult gun hense sturmgewehr  :gunman:

[Lobster]

originaly we had single burst and auto fires which is obviously wrong, So we changed them to all auto only, but then somone from this very forum told us the Mp-44 and Thompson had Single shot modes as well.

Make up your minds people.

Thompson had single burst and auto same with mp44 i know what i am saying i got this info from a top quality book showing schematics and where is your grease gun for the us tank crews  ;D

[Blitz]

Show me a link saying that the mp44 and M1A1 tompson had burst functions.Everywhere i have looked (mulitiple sites) they have had single and fullauto.
If you can then ill be darned.

[Spliff air]

Its actully a book but i will scan an image for u guys

[Spliff air]

Okay i would like to say i can admite defeat but the mp44 could fire single rounds and here is a link to a website i think it had all weapons used axis and us

They had burst and auto, because one squeze of the trigger fired a burst not a single shot.

[Blitz]

So its not actually a burst funtion is it.
Its just what happens when the trigger is squeezed.
Im sure if you presed it quick enough it would fire one shot

[Blitz]

And in that site it doent mean literally fire in a burst mode but insted fire in full auto for 10 or so rounds at a time.
You can fire bursts right now in our addons if you want to.
So we got it right first time.

Does anyone actually own these guns? B/c I've so many sites that contradict each other.

Well, the answer to the Mp44 and StG44 is that:
The first prototype was called the MP43. Then when plans were finished in 44 and production started it became the SturmGewehr 44.

I hope I was right or y'all will flame the hell outta me.

[elgrabbula]

i own a thompson 1928model and collect vintage firearms, the thompson has a selector on the left side of the gun behind the trigger, safe, semi, auto

I do, I collect vintage firearms from the 20's to 50's ;

[Spliff air]

i think he mean the us army version 1944 model

[elgrabbula]

they used a 1941 model, the only diff in it took out the blish lock and gave it a horizontal foregrip and no drum mag capability ;D

[CrunchyFrog]

MP40 - FA
MP44 - SA & FA
M1A1 - SA & FA

Theres no "burst" function... just set it on FA and tap the trigger...

[Thorne]

Where the hell you need the burst function anyway? The gun doesn't use up the whole magazine with one quick squeeze

[Wires]

Thorne is exactly right, and think about it - you can fire single shots whith just about all the weapons made for OFP even on full auto just by clickin' the mouse fast enough, it's not hard. I really don't see the point of a burst mode except to achieve a higher fire rate without possible damage by constant use at such a rate. eg AN-94 has a 2 shot burst that fires almost double the rate of the auto setting. I think this would be why the R/L Thomson only had semi and auto - squeze the trigger for a second and what do you get? A BURST  

[CrunchyFrog]

actually thats 3 times...

the 2-round burst has a ROF of 1800, and the FA ROF is 600
so...

1800/600 = 3

 

AN-94 = 1337 h4x0r 4554UL7 R1FL3

[FatJoe]

I just want to point out to you guys that its not good to use the word "burst" except when talking about actual burst mode for example the 'three round Burst'

I can take an M60 Machine gun.. and just squease the trigger for little less then a second to get a burst.. but thats not burst mode.. thats Fully automatic.. becaus if you hold down the trigger you keep fireing..

A burst mode is when you can hold down the trigger for well over 5 seconds but still only shooting 3 rounds the whole time..

Using Fully Automatic for Fully Automatic, Single Shot or Semi auto for Single shot or Semi Auto and Burst for # round burst mode is less confusing

Yes the Thompson is Semi Auto and Fully Auto.. and we'll be doing the M1928 version too.. the tommy gun..   and yes it will have a drum magazine as an special magazine

Cheers
Joe

[KTottE]

Hmm, in my opinion, a burst is a burst. You can fire a burst of rounds. Or you can fire # rounds in burst fire mode.

If everyone just remembers to put that extra "mode" in burst fire mode everyone would understand ;D

[Ranger93]

Is the Tommy you're talking about Resistance version,if yes. Where can I download the gun.
