So does this mean we can talk gun control in a zombie shooter again?Because if you're like me, your aim is crap and you need more control.
Well you know the only fix for that is right?

More shooting practice.

So get to it man, those zombies aren't going to shoot themselves.

There are a few lever-action rifles. They are still in current production. They often go to people who get them for the nostalgia. collectors tend to go after original versions. The modern productions are quite good though, and come in several calibers and styles.

Most who buy lever actions for actual use, are primarily using them for hunting, or for plinking. (Recreational target practice, rarely competition shooting.) They're great for teaching gun control and rifle basics.

Sorry i missed topic about performance a little bit. Guys are you some of you playing on Ryzen procesor? It's working correctly? Some time before i heard it's problem with hyperthreating.
I actually am using a Ryzen 5. I curently get around 60-75 if not 80 FPS, I think after making a few minor alterations to my options in game. Before I had major performance hiccups here and there, and my framerate would drop.

Anything I can do to squeeze a little more juice out would be great though.

 
yeah, my hardware specs are in my bio. not sure what to do other than save for the next year to get an upgrade to i7. not sure how to do a sig

System information:

OS: Windows 10 (10.0.0) 64bit

CPU: AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core Processor (cores: 8)

RAM: 16286 MB

GPU: Radeon RX 470 Graphics (4044 MB)

Graphics API: Direct3D 9.0c [aticfx64.dll 22.19.162.4] (shader level 3.0)

 
All this talk about guns is like really cool. I like the idea of a lever action rifle in the game. I wonder what TFP's think about it though...

 
Can you guys explain to an european the difference between a bolt and a lever action rifle? ;)
well you have the hunting rifle in a16.4b8 which is a bolt action and then there is this... the lever action.


in as simple as possible you still reload after each shot just 2 different methods.

In terms of a real one:

Lever action is a type of firearm action which uses a lever located around the trigger guard area (often including the trigger guard itself) to load fresh cartridges into the chamber of the barrel when the lever is worked. This contrasts to bolt-action, semi-automatic, or selective-fire weapons.

Bolt action is a type of firearm action where the handling of cartridges into and out of the weapon's barrel chamber are operated by manually manipulating the bolt directly via a handle, which is most commonly placed on the right-hand side of the weapon (as most users are right-handed). When the handle is operated, the bolt is unlocked from the receiver and pulled back to open the breech, allowing the spent cartridge case to be extracted and ejected, the firing pin within the bolt is cocked (either on opening or closing of the bolt depending on the gun design) and engages the sear, then upon the bolt being pushed back a new cartridge (if available) is loaded into the chamber, and finally the breech is closed tight by the bolt locking against the receiver.

Many people might think of a lever action as a 'cowboy rifle'. A bolt action is common as a starter sniper rifle in games like COD. Others commonly think of a bolt action as a hunting rifle.

The hunting rifle in 7 Days is a Bolt Action rifle, specifically a Remington Model 700 with only iron sights. At least until A17 when we can mount scopes, and maybe suppressors (colloquially known as 'silencers'.)

 
While we are on the topic of PC performance (I lied, we are not) I was wondering if anyone has tips to improve performance. I found stuff for Minecraft that made a world of difference and hoping to with this game too... Being that both are Voxels.
I'm on an older Republic of Gaming ASUS gaming laptop with a GTX 960m, Intel i7-4720HQ 2.6 GHz processor, upgraded 1TB SSD. I'm getting around 30 fps. With it being a laptop, I am limited to what I can upgrade - HDD (already upgraded to SSD) and RAM. I don't think I can upgrade anything else.

Not an IT guy, but tech-savvy to a point... Is this considered a potato now?
The MC setting you’re referring to is allowing additional memory for the Java Runtime Engine, Minecraft always was a memory hog the further you wandered the world!

There are lots of performance tuning apps out there, some are ok, most are a money grab so check the reviews before you part with your cash. As you stated, a lot of them just fiddle with windows settings to tweak performance.

The reason for my post? The new unity version that TFP are moving to supports multi core (which your i7 is). I don’t know exactly what the performance gain will be, but given A17-E is so close, I would be tempted to wait until that drops as you may find this gives you the additional frames you’re after.

If it's truly mimicking the Rem 700, the mag should be increased to at least 3 rounds. This has bugged me since day 1.

Not sure if you still can bit back in the day you could just change mag size in the xml. I used to up ot to 5. though with doing that there is no animation of replacing the used up casin (hope rhat makes sense)

 
Haha yeah, it makes sense. Most servers that I've played on have modded the mag size upwards to where it should be. IIRC, it only showed the "working the bolt" anim when you were reloading. Kinda broke the immersion but oh well.

Yup that is what i meant by animation. Maybe TFP could change that for A18?

Yeah. I only know it's 'supposed to be' as it has Remington 700 stamped on it. Maybe the bolt, receiver, chamber, and barrel was taken from one?

If we go with the idea of jury-rigging together disparate parts.

That would make sense to me for crafting one, but finding a Bubba'd special in a locked safe is just funny unless it's a SKS or Mosin ;)

 
A17 Feature List: Updated as Developers reveal them!

Sorry for the spam/repeat but I was wondering if you will be able to mod the game with unity for modders?

If so, will you be able to add/remove assets to customize even further?
