Aiming system and differences in SS

[lentan]

I suspect several people already know this, but i shall still share this piece of information with everyone.

THIS GUIDE IS ALL SHOTGUNS XD


Males > Females at close range
Females > Males at medium range
Females = Males at long range

Now what made me say that?

Its the ss.

First off i will explain the aiming system in gunz.

The bullets from all your weapons goes from the TIP OF YOUR GUN, to the place YOU ARE LOOKING AT.



Evidence:
If you try to tumble and shoot while behind a box in town, your shots will go through the box. This is because your cursor is looking over the box, and your gun barrel (shotgun) has gone through the box.

Male>female at close range

Males are MORE likely to get off a nice pb (10/12 shots hitting) at close range because the spread for males is smaller when they ss. When males ss, their gun barrel does not move much, thus the distance between the gun barrel and the person you are aiming at right in front of you is very small.
BUT
Female ss have their gun barrels a much much larger distance away from the person you are aiming at because of their right-left slash. This makes females vulnerable UNLESS you are very very good at ss-aiming (covered later)


Female>male at medium range.
I really should get a picture to show this...

Nvm. Think about this. Lets say my female char shoots at you from medium range. You dodge to your right. Where will I be aiming at now that you have moved? Right i will aim at the floor, or behind you.

But my barrel of the gun is all the way to my left. So i will hit you as some shots will STILL connect with you even if you dodged to the right! Barrel >>>> Ground behind you... (Its a diagonal) And you take damage.

Of course this doesnt apply to males for the same reason stated above, males do not have a right-left slash, they have a up-down slash

At long range this difference becomes negligible



SS aiming for females at close range.
sry males, you just have to aim better at medium range :P

There are three ways.

a) wait
b) hhs
c) special aiming


a) you could just wait, your gun will come back a bit and it will all be fine, but at close range, you dont have much time...

b) This makes you move a bit more, but is also slower...

c) You could choose this, but i can assure you its soooo difficult you wont want to do it. Learn to predict where your gun barrel is going to go then aim at a certain shot (not at the person) so that the person will get hit by a pb.

^
same idea as the medium range shots, aim behind him, and the shots will connect just as they come out of the barrel.
Difficult?

Luckily we have cursors.

I made a custom cursor that is still a little off...
Basically its a circle close to the top right corner, then a line from the center of the circle to the real cursor. The cursor is a cross because i believe in perfect aiming XD.

The trick is to IMAGINE that the line is from your screen, going in "depth" to the place the REAL cursor is aiming at.

Hoping some pro cursor creator will help me improve a little..

Yea thats all

ALL CREDITS TO ME!
+rep

[VainTehPain]

MMM...
Thats ok..I suppose...
But..I already know that kinda stuff from Experience in the game...
Rep..?
Im not sure

[Ludford]

females seem to feel a little faster, +1 rep anyway

[Kut14]

and they said that Males and Females were the same in all aspects.
(well they said that along time ago).

Quite true though.

REP?
lol
when i write guides i never ask for REP.
or even in anything. (no offense)

nice guide though.

[VainTehPain]

Yeh lol,
Just for asking for rep u dont get none
And i think Gurls are faster and boys have more attack..
That just shows how little i know

[lentan]

boys dont have more attack and females arent faster

[FreshMike]

I don't think they're fired from the tip of the gun.

On a female character, if you shoot near a wall to you're left, your bullets will hit the wall even if you're not even aiming anywhere near the wall.

[Nys]

Well explained so +rep for that.

Although I don't think this will affect the way I play or make me remake my character male/female because of what I've read here.

[Slap]

Over-complicated.

The SS differences between male and female are too minor to take note of. They barely have any effect on how you play.

[d0ughboi]

well i also realized that rs and just regular gun cancel switching w/e is alot faster on males compared to females. And since the size of a male is much larger, they're an easier target. females are more slime, making them harder targets.

[lentan]

actually the differences are a LOT.
For females at medium range.
Next time you play, you see some female ssing, dodge to your left, you will not get hit at all. But if you dodge to the right you will get hit by about 3-6 pellets. Which is the reason why i choose not to use aerial kstyle coz if the person dodges i will miss for sure (figure that out yourself)

If you can go online i will show you some time ok?

has anyone used shotguns with a female char and then used shotguns with a male char?
I happen to have both (swap PWNS) and females hit the wall to their left alot more times than males (unless you pause then shoot but thats slooooowwwww)

I posted this because i saw another thread where they said females had low accuracy because they shot the wall with ss at close range and they found out the spread was really really large.

Basically because the tip of the shotgun is far away from the wall (what you are aiming at) and the wall is slanted at roughly only 30 degrees (90 degrees is perpendicular) away from the LOS (line of sight...) of the pellets from the shotgun. This makes the spread even larger due to... the slanted nature of the wall... (dont know what this is called but its the reason why sunlight is less intense as you go closer to the north/south poles)

Basically just shoot from the wall at a slanted angle and stay further away from the wall, thats what constitutes a shot from a female sser at pb range.
Which is never as good as a nice pb from a pb range male sser.

a few other major differences between male and female but i posted it before some time ago..

Dude. I've been playing for a long time. The differences are too minor to make the decision over which gender your going to use.

The only time this issue really comes into play is when your going around corners and over curbs, because each genders have areas where they can easily shoot themselves.

Really though, female=male at any range. Providing you adjust to where the shots come out.

[lentan]

just try it.

Stay at about 6 m away from some guy, take a female, aim to his left and shoot.

He takes damage, but if you use a male he wont.

And the point of this topic isnt to choose which char you want, its to inform people about how the aiming system of gunz works.
