1.33.0.15 SMG or LMG fire 1 round, 3rd person will see you fire entire clip

[snowfall]

If you fire just one bullet from an SMG or an LMG everyone else will see you firing an entire clip, or like 5-8 bullets. On beta Ive been seeing dead people continuing to fire their SMG or LMG because of this issue. Also when the 3rd person looks at a wall that you just fired 1 round at they will see all those extra holes in the wall.

Not sure if this is a bug or just the way it is, people watching you fire 1 round at like 3 second intervals will think you are using alot of ammo, but really your not.

Step.

1. LMG or SMG fire just one round. Everyone else will see you firing an entire clip or a burst.

I confirm. I have been killed and then i saw the enemy run away while firing the entire magazine.

actually it's about 6 rounds I think

appears to be the smallest sound bite for auto fire SMG/LMG we pass off across the network for automatic weapons fire in the current version, 1st person is correct (what you do is what you hear) but 3rd person always hears (about) 6 rounds minimum, or more if it's a longer burst

Ticket #5223

dunno why this changed or anything like that; at this point in time

What is the functionality in 1.32?

Talked to ramp. This is expected functionality. It's broken in 1.32. The reason is that single shots from auto weapons of this caliber sound crackly and weird a lot. This makes them sound more fluid.

One time I was defending a flag room and and SMG came in and I saw him fire like 8 rounds all missing and I killed him. All his shots missed and I was thinking wow he is a horrible shot but in reality I think he got off 1 or 2 rounds. I looked around the room and I see bullet holes everywhere around me, so I put in this bug report.

If this is normal then at least can you shut down the sounds when they die?

Wish List:

I wish you guys could make a shorter recording of these weapons to show them firing off 1 or 2 rounds, because I think most people only shoot those weapons in very short bursts (less recoil) for better aiming. I know I dont know whats behind the scenes to fix or add this, all I can do is ask.

Thanks
