I guess I've stirred up quite a topic here. Interesting.
Now, this game may not be completly realistic, but the guns shape and measurements have no reason to be innacurate correct? I don't see a pistol with the shape of a plasma pistol from Halo.
So, let's base our assumptions on real life occurences shall we? Take a look at
this picture. That shows a person with farely large goggles on with their face to the scope with the bolt handle fully extended.
So, L96? Face stays on the scope.
Let's try the M24. Now,
This* picture isn't as good, but it's workable. If you look at the persons face position, it's about 3-4 inches from the closed bolt. Now, if you look at the election port, it's about 2 inches long. So, the bolt will likely go just over two inches, leaving just under 1 inch of space.
M24? Face stays on the scope.
Google images couldn't provide me with any images of a person shooting the M95, but we have a forum member with personal experience. The face must come away from the scope.
So some guns should be able to rechamber a round without moving their sight from the scope, but the M95 shouldn't.
*That picture shows an airsoft weapon, but on the website that picture came from, it gives details of their equipment, and that is an exact replica with a different barrel (meant for airsoft rounds).
If you feel the need to discuss tank shells, make a new thread. This is not the place.
