did it ever make sense to you?

I can not be the only one who sees that

>shoot one bullet
>press "reload" button
>gordon empties the entire CLIP and drops all the unused BULLETS on the ground
what an idiot

>>389734281
It's not a clip, it's a cylinder.

>>389734407
who are you quoting

>>389734407
That's accurate though
Mag-fed weapons tend to have more easily available ammo than revolvers

>What is depth perception

>>389734281
>implying they fell on the ground when you kept the ammo
>not knowing every HEV suit has a bullet pouch on the front

>>389732504
I'm no gun expert, but are the grooves on the outside of the cylinder supposed to be aligned with where the bullets sit?

>>389732504
Have you ever seen a revolver outside of HL2?

>>389734665
Nah they are usually a part of the mecha ism that rotates the cylinder/help cut the weight of the weapon down a mite

>>389734665
No. The grooves are in between the actual slots that hold the bullets. The cylinder needs to be thicker around the round to accommodate the pressure when firing. It's carved out a bit in between to remove a bit of weight and to give you a better grip on the cylinder when loading/unloading or if you have to manually rotate the cylinder for whatever reason.

>>389735002
Disregard all that shit about manually rotating the cylinder and getting a better grip for loading/unloading, I don't know what the hell I was thinking with that. This guy >>389734971is right.

>>389735084
it's also for those reasons stupid

>>389735084
Its a secondary effect of the design. Hes not wrong per say.

>>389734594
bullet funnel, like a fanny pack, but it sucks all the bullets and nearly sorts them into magazines if applicable

Why is Valve so grossly incompetent with guns?
>b-but muh gameplay
Just change the models to something non-retarded and the mechanics suddenly make sense

it's just a shitty modeled Colt Python tree fiddy seven.
What's more annoying is that the MP5(suppressed) sounds like an belt-fed LMG. Yet the M249 in Opposing force feels suppressed.

>>389735757
It was 1998. FPS games didn't even have realistic guns yet, little bro.

pretending to be retarded?

>>389735757
USP match
The spas-12 could just be firing two shots in a quick succession
The mp7 could use caseless grenade rounds, due to the metal tube under the barrel

>>389732504
Open the model in model viewer and post screens, I don't have no HL1 or its mods installed.

>>389735876
Like metal storm, since it's a combine-made (or enhanced) weapon

>>389735862
Ironic how guns like the syringe gun and the minigun are more sensical in the game than the scattergun, the sticky bomb launcher or the shove-4-rockets-into-the-same-tube-launcher

>>389736075
ironic how guns being "sensical" matters in a fantasy video game

>>389736231
It's really not hard to uniquely design a shotgun, a bomb launcher or a 4-rocket-launcher without going full retard

Remember when the combine rifle was originally a flare gun?

>>389736501
valve hit their exact design intent with every which weapon are all iconic and recognizable

>>389732504
It was modeled in 3d to be a normal looking revolver and thus does not represent your flawed interpretation.

>>389736507
is mouse kill?

that went out the window fast

They deliberately made it like that.
HD SPAS12 has similiar deformation in its model, but I guess Gearbox wanted to conceal it by perspective.

I fucking hate this baby shit

>>389732504
Valve is consistently one of the worst developers ever when it comes to presenting firearms, whether they're entirely made up and especially if they're real. They also have absolutely awful taste in what real-life firearms to present in games like Counter Strike.

Good thing they don't make games anymore.

>>389732504
FUCK H*LF LIFE and FUCK DRUMPF

>>389741197
>>389741448
It's probably to 'correct' for perspective / foreshortening, they probably thought the guns looked strange in game so made these corrections for whatever reason.

>>389741601
>there will never be an actual survival game where every bullet matters
>you will never spend your time back at base counting out your ammo, emptying bullets from used magazines you've found and filling new magazines

Of course that'd get boring but that's why you hire trained NPCs to do it for you.
