Firearms damage incerease

[KruskDaMangled]

You'd be surprised. You might eventually kill a deer, (and relatively quickly) if you hit the head or upper body, but not "instantly" unless you destroy major organs, preferably the heart. Which is fairly difficult to do at some distance, even with a modern rifle.

I mean, it would die otherwise, but it might also run away and you would never see it again or have to work hard to chase it.

We don't get to inflict bleed, though. Only NPC mobs.

Fun fact:
It is statistically possible for a gun to do up to 99% dmg.

Y'all just have bad aim.

[Raistlin97]

So how does aim improve?

No it's not.

Rifles are great in this game. Sad no one uses them.

This is very true.

Orginised fireing squads are so OP it really is unreal, sadly most cannot / do not use it.

Best way to hunt drakenbears.

Ok, I've tested firearms thoroughly, musket is well balanced I would say but the pistol - total ****.
5% dmg + smaller snare chance makes it more of a vanity item than a weapon.
Using pistol with other melee weapon is an advantage of course, but it still gives you one shot only, it makes it convenient to initiate fights with it, but does not have real impact unless you damn lucky.
Plus each shot costs 9s (10 shots costs you 15s for gunpowder and 75s for bullets), 9s is more than a dead rabbit's worth - but you need way more than 1 shot with pistol to kill it.

My point is - shooting with pistol is not only not effective but also uneconomical in majority of situations.
Clearly, a vanity item.

If you are using guns to hunt rabbits then you are definitely using them for the wrong thing they are for PvP and Darkness creatures.

So basically you're missing/grazing (doing no considerable damage) player's/mobs than actually landing decent shots? Is distance between the firearm and the target in the % mix?

As far as I'm understanding firearms are just for the looks in this game, please explain me I'd appreciate it.

Firearms do a % of the total Blood damage. That means they are crap for starting a fight with a small animal and you should be using a slingshot for that. However, for anything that has a large number of hit points, including a very big player, firearms can give a significant advantage when used properly.

I was testing how they perform in the same roles their historical/real counterparts had. And that's the basis of my opinion.
If you planned other niche for them and they fit nicely within it, well - it's still weird for me, but I see your point.
