[High-Tech] Telescopic Sights & Sound Supressors
Are the weights listed for scopes and silencers per +/-1?
That is, does a:
I know it says, but it seems a little wonky. I mean, in my brain, a better scope or silencer s/b heavier than a lesser one...plus, more powerful scopes always seem to look BIGGER... Thanks.

Re: [High-Tech] Telescopic Sights & Sound Supressors
quick answer: No
Full answer; weights do not scale evenly- a mroe pwerful scope requires more better balanced glass, a 8x scope might weight 16x as much as a 2x scope. Silencers are mostly empty space, beyond a certain threshold they require FAR FAR FAR more precise, big, and expensive components. A -2 silencer may only weigh 10% more then a -1, but a -3 might weight 5x as much as the -2 and add 4 to the weapons bulk rating. So your options are: Use the values in the book, do not attempt to form linear graphs for the unlimited zoom scope that gives+100 on acc. OR look up real world values for scops and use the real world stats(assuming that your game is set in modern or before) |
