  • They should add the noisy cricket to the game. Sure one bullet kills but there would be massive knock back sending you flying backwards. Have a wall behind you and the impact will kill you. Also it uses special one round clip and low reserves, no zoom.

  • I switched to a pulse rifle. Hand cannons will have their time to shine again I'm sure. Till then...use something else.

  • Maybe one day they will make an exotic hand cannon that's like the gun Joker used in Tim burtons bat man. The one with the barrel that was like 4 feet long. Then that particular hand cannons range can be better than an assault rifle. Other wise, yes assault rifles range should be a lot greater. If anything hand cannons range is still to long, needs to be pulled in by a meter or 2.

    • In reality ARs do have more range that HCs, due to the longer barrel, thus the projectile develops longer velocity, therefore travels faster/longer before being subjected to atmospheric pressure and gravity, while inflicting more damage to hit target, and its dmg drop takes longer to occur.

        • Auto rifle is still a rifle, and hand cannon is still a handgun. That’s why. Rifle barrel is longer, bullet is higher velocity.

          • It’s technically a revolver with a high PISTOL caliber versus a LONG BARREL RIFLE utilizing a 7.62mm round (based on the shell casing) or a 30-06 (based on size of the magazine) you’re just not gona have that accuracy over extended range engagements.

            • Then snipers should not deal more damage than scouts.

              • Go to a shooting range. Take or obtain a hand cannon, find or obtain a semi auto rifle and see which has the best accuracy and range. Might give you a glimpse of what lethal range is all about. Snipers in this game should have no fall off on any map. But, alas, it’s just a game.[spoiler]You don’t want to bring a pistol to a battlefield[/spoiler]

                • [quote]me smol pistol weeps[/quote] I have to agree here. When you die to your opponent, you want it to be because they outplayed you or are simply better. Not because they have an auto rifle. Zero skill, all the kills. That’s what happens when you make changes for the casual audience

                  • Auto Rifles have a much longer barrel, meaning more range and accuracy. Change my mind.

                    • Its a rifle. It should have more range than a hand cannon. Longer barrel. Assumed rifled barrel. There is no reason a hand cannon should out range a rifle. They should out range side arms.

                      In real life they do so why not? The AR15 has a max effective range of 400 to 600 yards. The dessert eagle has a max effective range of approximately 150 yards.

                      • I'll do this in 1 sentance without a lot of numbers. The barrel length of a Auto Rifle vs a Hand Cannon justifies it's range accuracy.

                      • Might as well not call them Auto[u][i]rifles[/i][/u] then. What's the point in calling something a rifle if it doesn't have the range to back it up. I'm one of the guys that is completely ok with the hand canon range nerf back a couple seasons ago. After all who would realistically bring a pistol to fight against a Sniper rifle or Assault rifle irl?

                        • Why not simply remove any weapons but HC? That way no HC player can complain anymore that he was killed by anything else.

                          • Because these guns act and are based off guns irl. Irl your assault rifle will obviously have more range and accuracy than your magnum.
