Cheers One thing that stood out for me on your post is the; Firing sound when bullets run low. Is that further explained in these vids? ---

You can even tell when your magazine is running out of ammo now - your firing sound slightly changes when your ammo is low. The video doesn’t go into any further detail. ---

When it’s empty, the M1 Garand was famous for that. ---

When it’s empty, the M1 Garand was famous for that. Indeed. I wouldn’t mind for the sake of immersion you double tap square (on ps4) to peek inside mag/gun to see lasting ammo. Or…double tap square that only than and only than a HUD with bulletcounter pops up. ---

I want to ask you something weapons designer guy. On the scale 1 to “insurgency” (the steam game), how realistic is the weapon damage model in battlefield 1??? ---

I don’t the he spoke of the damage model but he did have this to say about the guns > [@](#): > > They feel fast because they are. > If your weapon of choice is an automatic rifle or a powerful LMG, Battlefield 1 is loaded with guns to scratch your trigger finger on. In general, all of the weapons might feel a little faster than you’d expect. On top of adding drag and gravity to the bullets themselves, we increased the bullet velocity. This speeds things up and makes the gunplay feel more authentic.
