So I was playing BF1

And my nephew called a gun I was using 'the gun that makes a ting sound when it reloads' (he was referring to the M1 Garand). The gun I was using was the bolt-action Gewehr 98 Infantry.

The f**king Gewehr.

Huh...well, I mean, depending on how old he is, wouldn't it make sense he didn't remember the type of gun it was?

True. But he acts like he knows everything about guns.

[Melody Song]

5323661
Ah. Yeah, I can see why you're upset

[MlpHero]

5323663
Yeah. I mean, I also don’t know much about guns, but it’s easy to tell some apart from the other. For example, I know the difference between a 50. Caliber pistol (aka a Desert Eagle) and an M1911

Huh

[MlpHero]

5323673
Yeah. I just get real mad when someone acts like they know something and they don’t.

[Melody Song]

5323678
Yeah, I can sympathize with that. My bestie thinks Harry Potter started school when he was seventeen (actually they may not anymore, I dropped it after I couldn't convince them otherwise)

[MlpHero]

5323683
Huh

[Melody Song]

5323687
Yeah. Anyway, I can sympathize with that

[MlpHero]

Thanks

No problem

To an average person, every weapon looks alike. They don't know it's a firearm, but that's all. It takes commitment to learn the difference and people rarely enjoy learning anything outside of their immediate sphere of interest.
Also, you are clearly refering to BF5, not BF1.

[MlpHero]

True.

And also, I was playing the BF1 war stories (the one about Gallipoli) and my nephew said the Gewehr was the M1, or in his words, ‘the gun that makes the ting noise when it reloads’

[The Sound of Loneliness]

Which Gewehr are you referring to? I take it it isn't Gewehr 43. Must be Gewehr 98k, or maybe not k but the regular one. "Karabiners" weren't around yet.

[MlpHero]

5323736
True. The game calls them "Gewehr 98 Infantry" and they’re bolt-action.

[The Sound of Loneliness]

"Infantry," really now? So there are non-infantry versions? I wonder what those are. Are they mounted or something? Why would you have a mounted rifle? Why not a machinegun at least? Germans always were ever so slightly retarded in their designs, but this sounds too stupid to be true.

[MlpHero]

Load up Battlefield 1 and play that Gallipoli campaign. It’s literally called Gewehr 98 Infantry. I mean, I guess they could be used by snipers, but I think they count as infantry too.

I can't do that. I stopped playing Battlefield since the 3rd game. I just couldn't take the levels of stupidity anymore. Whenever I play it I feel stupid over the things the game makes me do and I don't like feeling stupid. The game feels like a paintball match, not a gunfight. I switched to playing ARMA instead, now that thing is amazingly fun to play as soon as you figure out how to actually do stuff in there. And I don't feel retarded cause I am fixing a burning tank with a damn blowtorch and it just continued driving as if nothing happened.

This Gehwer thing is named like that for gameplay reasons, there has to be some other version of the rifle that has a different label.

[MlpHero]

5323761
True

[The Sound of Loneliness]

5323762
I mean, you still can fix up your de-tracked tank and continue driving in 10 seconds flat, but you aren't doing it with a damn torch and you still can't heal it back to full HP again. You can only jury-rig your vehicle so it will move again and nothing more, and you still need another trooper with the required item and class.

5323767
Huh

[GrandAdmiral MitthRawN]

yeah man i also get pissed when the kids mistake Panzerabwehrkanone 36 for 7,5 cm Panzerabwehrkanone 40 -lit

[MlpHero]

5323792
Huh

[GrandAdmiral MitthRawN]

5323794
It was a joke my good sir.

[MlpHero]

5323795
Ah

[The Sound of Loneliness]

5323792
I mean... how do you confuse those? One is Panzer 2 gun, the other one is Panzer 4. One gun is really tiny, the other one is big and have muzzle brake.

[GrandAdmiral MitthRawN]

i mean it was a joke pretty bad one too

[The Sound of Loneliness]

And the joke wouldn't be funny if it was not true.
