Bolt-action : Othor Games

I personally think it wont be called the Barrett. But something with different spelling. It will most likely play off of the name Barrett though. If you have any info on this please reply.

Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's called the Barnett, and the wiki agrees. I'll probably go double check later but I'm still pretty sure. Most probably have been calling it the Barrett because its more familiar and not far off from Barnett; simple mistake.

bolt action is a Barnett

I honestly think that the fact they aren't using absolute creative names and new weapon models for 'long rifles', is because they don't actually want people to get that into that. It's not what the game is about. They just added them so people couldn't complain their aren't long rifles in the game. And, I'm sure it'll be fun to try hear and their.

P.S. I think we have established that it's called a Barnett. And yes their is also a Dragnov that is semi-automatic.

Remember the guns names are amalgam something from guns like Hockler Machine Pistol is suppose to be Heckler and Koch MP7 aka Machine Pistol 7, Sea Hawk = Desert Eagle, Galactic = Universal Machine Pistol aka UMP, Mossington = Mossenberg and Remington Shotguns , and its Barnett not Barret for the Bolt Action and before you say they changed it, it was always Barnett they didn't change it to please you

I used the search and didnt find this specific thing posted. If it has and i missed it, please give me a link.

Well my question is, as of right now we are calling the bolt action the Barrett. Everyone assumes this to be confirmed. But Barrett is the name of an actual weapon company. Alot of the other guns in the game play off of names of real weapons/manufacturers, but are spelled differently.

I personally think it wont be called the Barrett. But something with different spelling. It will most likely play off of the name Barrett though. If you have any info on this please reply.

And after we get done with comfermation. Lets discuss the Bolt-action long rifle and the Drognav semi-auto long rifle. Your opinions on them, based off of the footage we have seen. Which one you plan to use if you are gonna use a long rifle. And anything else that has to do with long rifles.

The name has actually been confirmed.

It's the http://brink.wikia.com/wiki/Barnett

In that case you're outta luck buddy.

Actually, he's not. The Barnett does, according to strategy guide numbers, 125 points base damage. Light body is 120 Hps, med is 140, heavy is 180. 2 shots (assuming body or head) will be more than enough to drop everybody.

Oh I'm sorry, I misread. I understood that he said more than once, not twice.

Not a problem, but if the numbers are correct it will 1 hit a light and possibly drop a medium or heavy with one headshot, although buffs change that, and of course that's a "1 hit incap" and not an outright kill.

Barnett < Dragnov

Barnet does 125 damage with 2.3 seconds in between shots
Dragnov does 80 damage every .3 seconds but can go faster with the rapid fire attachment which increases the recoil too.

I disagree. The speed of fire of the Drog only matters if you land that first shot and if I land that first shot with the Barnett I may well be in better shape. SO I would say Barnett =/= Drog.

And with the same logic, should you miss your first shot, I still have multiple chances to kill you before you can fire again...... :spotted owl: (I just thought of an old western draw XD)

Indeed, which is why I consider them simply not equal. In one man's hands the Barnett is better, in another man's hands the Drog is better, in a third man's hands they're both useless. :spotted owl:

So you're saying they are apples and oranges. Both fruit (light rifles) but too different to compare?

More like red apples and green apples. Both apples, but different tastes.

Lol, I feel sorry for the third man.
