Hey /k/, /tg/ here, I'm currently trying to homebrew an addon for Delta Green with a bigger focus on weapon, oper8ting and customisation.

Howevern, being a yuropoor without money, I had no occasion to experiment recoil, the differences between various sights (outside of Insurgency) and other technical marvels.

What kind of weapons gives recoil capable of affecting an experienced shooter ? What are the impact of differents sights in a combat situation ? Also what are the various things you'd like to see for weapons in a tabletop game ?

Sorry in advance if I'm not clear enough, I'll try to clear things up if needed.

Fellow fa/tg/uy here.

Recoil isnt strictly tied to caliber. Its a function of caliber size and weapon design.

Take 7.62NATO

Lots of guns use(d) it. However the M14 was considered "uncontrollable" when fired on full auto. The M60 on the other hand fired the same round and could be "hip fired" on full rock-n-roll. The M60 was a much larger heavier gun and so could absorb the felt recoil much more easily.

As your rule of thumb when dealing with intermediate rounds (5.56 NATO, 5.45/7.62x39) are fairly controllable in full auto/burst fire by an experienced operator. Even then though semi auto is used for the vast majority of the time with the exception of squad automatic weapons. Full auto isn't used for riflemen engaging enemies at combat ranges, that's the role of the automatic rifleman and his SAW whose larger magazines/belts allow for sustained fire and supression. "Full size" rifle rounds (7.62 NATO, 7.62X54r) are currently used in semi auto "marksman" platforms and/or machine guns.

Different sights outside of user preference are all about magnification, with 4x scopes (ACOG and such) being the norm for allowing the average rifleman to engage with slow aimed fire out to greater ranges. Red dot and other holographic 1x magnificaton scopes all serve the same general purpose and are pretty much entirely user preference.

Things I'd like to see? Count ammo in magazines instead of just bullets, and make reloading a partial mag cost something and be a decision. Keeping track of what vests and gear keep how many mags/grenades/gear available for quick reloads amd access, with grabbing ammo/mags from a pack being pretty time consuming in actual combat.

thanks, anon

delta green is already using an ammo in mag system and a reload system using your turns. but not precise enough in my opinion.
