Talk:Winchester 1866

Most recent changes
For anyone that cares. The Winchester 1866 is not a low noise gun, it is in fact, one of the loudest guns in the game.

I doubt that! I have the code open in front of me and it calls for 15 rounds slug only. That's also what I find ingame. I say undo until proofed. - Leucetius 13:12, 8 June 2012 (MDT)


 * I repeat myself: if nobody can confirm (screenshot, better video with version) that pellets are in again and that the capacity is 16, I will revert the article back to its previous state. - Leucetius 02:08, 10 June 2012 (MDT)

file that one under realism
another item for anyone that cares: the winchester 1866 is a rifle, not a shotgun. it is chambered in .44 henry, which was a rimfire cartridge. it does not shoot slugs or pellets at all because it does not chamber shotgun cartridges. there is a winchester 1887 shotgun, but i do not think the game developers are confused, i think they are just fudging the truth for the game's sake.

"A classic example, the Winchester is a shotgun in game. Which, of course, is complete bollocks. I haven't had the time to change and 99% of people don't give a shit. Those that notice don't seem to mind its lack of "authenticity" because it doesn't effect their suspension of disbelief. "

"I love the winchester, but the content of it is placeholder. I.e. the ammo, the sounds, etc...

Much work remains on it and I think it will be quite a different weapon. "
