Weapon aesthetics?

[neato9611]

I recall seeing previous gameplay footage where players and enemies were using Glocks,Tauruses,Heckler and Kochs, etc. Furthermore, I am almost positive I saw a criminal carrying what appeared to be a Taurus PT92 or Beretta 92FS. I'm fine with the guns in game, but is there any way we can change the weapon model (not just paint)? Also, does anyone have a screenshot of police pistols up close? Thanks.

The guns look cheesy in this game. I really do wish they based them more off real gun models.

Yeah, the guns look pretty stupid in my opinion. The silencers on the pistols are WAY too big and make them look ridiculous.

I feel like the Pistol should be a Glock 17, the Combat Pistol should be a Sig P series, the little SMG should be a Mac-10, the Combat SMG should be a PDR-C, the 416 should just be an AR-15 with RIS, the semiautomatic shotgun should be an AA-12. Those are the only ones that screw with me.

EDIT: Oh, and the AP pistol could be a Beretta M93R or a Glock 18c. I'd even enjoy using a KORD.

Yeah... There are so many things I just dont understand in this game. Guns are a massive part of the game and they cheap out. Even GTAV had realistic guns, if they just kept those models but sharpened them up with new graphics I would have been happy. These guns are reminiscent of something you'd see in saints row or something.

First seeing the guns gave me the EXACT same feeling as playing Saints 3. I loved the guns in Saint 1, they had very excellent sounds for the time (the Glocks had a distinct 'pop' to them.) Saints 2 was still pretty awesome although I found the KOBRA pistol a little wierd. Then Saint III came along and while the game was fun, the only weapon I really felt was realistic looking was the MOE-styled rifle. Don't get me wrong though, gunplay in V is phenomenal and each gun has a wonderful an distinct feel toit. Each shot feels like it carries that heft and power felt when shooting a real firearm. I just feel like the arcadey gun appearances detract from the more realistic presentation of the game world.

The shooting in this game is amazing.

The AK feels exactly like an AK.

Gunshot FX on point..

 

Gun models... AP Pistol? it looks like a single shot BB CO2 Pelet gun. Trash. Sounds the weakest out of all guns. Definitely shoulda modeled it after the Glock.

Shotguns = insane. Suppressors on shotguns?!?! Amazing.

.50 Cal pistol looks like the .45 standard Pistol on roids with the beaver tail cut off. Looks trash. Shooting it is f*cking cool.

 

Why don't we have a dive, though? Not even on some MP stuff, but a dive to cover or something woulda been straight.

I really think they should've let us buy different models for the guns, I mean even Saints Row did it. I thought it was cool. But it obviously wouldn't be over the top like making your shotguns look like some alien blunderbuss lol

Now if we only had a PC version..there wouldn't have been a problem like this
