What’s a slow rof to you? There will be submachine guns, lmg’s, hmg’s, semi-auto’s etc.

There are a grand total of maybe 3 total submachine guns, the LMG’s and HMG’s of the day were very slow firing and cumbersome. So yes heast1 has a point.

and prone to failure and locking up

I am pretty sure there will be a balance between the SMG/LMG and the single bolt action rifles.

Can’t wait to Beast with the shotguns

dont forget Fedorov Avtomat. Its said to be 1st assault rifle. Which i doubt myself tho.

If they make the amount of bullets it takes to put someone down smaller it shouldn’t be a problem. That’s what I’m hoping for. Should only take one to the chest from amy of the major bolt actions of the time period.

Automatic firearms during WW1 fired a good bit slower, on average, than today’s automatic firearms. I think this will be compensated for by a higher damage model. For instance, the Chauchat fires about 240 rounds per minute, or four rounds a second. This will likely be balanced by a good chunk of damage similar to that of one of Battlefield 4’s DMRs (like 40-45 maximum and 30-38 minimum). Obviously, a faster-firing machine gun will have a lower damage model. Something that fires 600 rounds per minute will likely have a damage model comparable to the SCAR-H, Bully Doge, M60E4, PKP, and M240B in Battlefield 4.
