Bullet drop. where is it?

[topeira]

i just realised my bullets dont drop at all. bullets hit the same spot im aiming at at 300 meters.

am i blind? have i disabled something?!

300 meters might not be far enough for you to notice any bullet drop.

[psycosmos]

Hmm, maybe the problem is that a lot of the rifles and such are zeroed in for 300 meters?

No missing drop here from what I've seen. Can't say I've tried all the guns though.

[Maizel]

Im not an expert, but maybe 300 meter isn't far enough to get noticable bullet drop with the weapon you're using?

[monty67t]

If you're firing a rifle it shouldn't drop at 300 meters. Most assault rifles are zeroed at 300 meters. Try shooting at something much further and you will see that you will have to aim high.

I think he got it by now.

he he he

ok. maybe 300 isn't that far. it's just that i almost never get the need to fire farther than this :P
not a big sniping fan.

at which range should i aim about human height higher than a human target? 800???

OK We need some NWD Ballistics up in here...

You have to adjust for every single meter that the target is off you're sights zeroed range.
It's not dramatic concerning CQB distances, but depending on the weapon and it's calibre you will have to adjust heavily above the zeroed range.
Some have a rather shallow trajectory ( most high power cartriges ), some do not.

If you want to see the full effect take the SVD or Vintorez because with them the chevrons are one of the more obvious indicators for ballistics.
Especialy the later because of it's low power.
