In the army, we braced our m16s on sandbags because it provided a steady base of support with which to fire more accurate shots. Bracing is just fine.
I think I understand the confusion here. On the bottom of all devastator/havoc weapons is this piece of equipment: It allows the weapons to be mounted to any viable surface to help absorb shock and recoil.
Ok guys, HMGs might not have much recoil IRL, but HBs clearly have a LOT of recoil in the game, just shoot one without bracing it and you will see it. Yes dude, it work, i know, i never said bracing should not make your shots more accurate, but that the way it is portrayed in the game is all wrong, or you guys held your m16s like this? With a m16 you can rest your whole upper body on the bag and hold the weapon naturally and comfortably, yet you can't really aim downwards (i know, you can, but not like in the picture), the HBs shape just does not lend itself to bracing in the manner portrayed in the game.
That has to be tech heresy. Edit, but yeah, if there was something like a little claw attached to the gun by one or two axis it would be possible to attach it to rails like this, they'd still need to work on the way the shooter holds the weapon though because that right arm is bending very unnaturally.
Can we just agree the animations for aiming down are as broken as half the other things? If that's really your main complaint with it, yes, it looks ridiculous, but you can't hold your weapon out to point down so you have to do that.
Which is partly an inaccuracy purely for game balance, and partly representing the Marine literally firing from the knee. Without tracer rounds, firing from the knee is basically down to practice and guesswork You keep posting that picture as if it changes anything about the gun's geometry. As I explained in my older edited post, a gun's muzzle climb -- what most video game players simply refer to as "recoil" -- is determined by the geometry of the gun. Fire a braced pistol 80 degrees down and yeah, you're going to see some muzzle climb. Fire a braced heavy bolter 80 degrees downward, it's going to stay pointed 80 degrees downward. If you're talking about it tearing the marine's hand off because the marine is standing in a very stupid position where his wrist takes all the literal recoil, that's not an issue of bracing, that's an issue of mocap
Wasnt part of the whole power armor thing that it enhances strength allowing them to probably out muscle the kick from their guns or at least get it to a managable spot?
