THe Shell in the M95 is significantly heavier than the other Sniper Riles.  THis is why the bullet drop is more.  Its still not much.   Since you really cant see more than 400 or so meters in this game (damn fog everywhere) we're talking pixels here.

Dont let my Time as a sniper could your judgement of my experience.  I have extensively tested all these guns in SIngle player and on empty servers prior to a game starting.

someone slept a little too much in physics class

everything drops at the same rate, regardless of weight. remember that experiment where that one dude dropped a bowling ball and...like...a golf ball or something from a tower, and they fell at the same rate? that's how gravity works.

ALTHOUGH a heavier bullet will probably end up going slower because it's harder to accelerate out of the gun, and in that case it would drop more by the time it got to its target.

also, a bigger bullet will be slowed down by air resistance more, and that will also cause it to drop more before it gets to its target.

but plain weight doesn't cause faster dropping


well there's my science talk for the day, enjoy
