This is a pretty cool idea and looks decent enough in-game, but it definitely could have been wrapped better.

3/5.

Also, the thing limiting the rifleman's range isn't his aim; even a man with one eye can aim further than that without a scope. What limits his range is that he isn't actually using a rifle, he's using a scattershot shotgun which doesn't shoot very far at all.

It would be cool to see some sort of musket from the 1600's and rifle from the 1800's as attachments to use this with.

And here I thought the Riflemen uses Blunderbusses ;)

Anyway cool attachment but I guess pretty limited use.

3/5
 
Not to start a debate about weapons. But after a quick google search all I found on scattershot was some transformer, and no definition of any use.

So if you could provide a link I would love to see what it is :)

That's because scattershot isn't a technical term. It's just a word used to describe a weapon that fires, well, a shot which scatters. Like a blunderbuss, or a shotgun with certain types of ammunition (Despite what you see in videogames, shotguns aren't always scattershot, it depends on the barrel and the ammunition). "Scattershot" isn't an official term, but it's been used for more than a hundred years.

My point is simply that the weapon the Rifleman uses doesn't fire a bullet or slug, it fires a "scattershot", which does not travel very far at all. It isn't actually a rifle, so a scope wouldn't necessarily make much sense.

Still, we can always pretend it's a rifle when we use it for a dozen different types of firearm units like we always did before.:grin:

Edit: If you don't live in 'Murica, it's probably not something you'd hear, so don't feel bad about not knowing about it.

New information is always welcome.
The name "scattershot" makes sense for a high spread weapon, but the clarification is nice :)
