DresdenBBQ Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Ammo reloading would be a great way to get extra ammo your low on and manage to get your ingame reloading skill up a bit! When reloading a round it requires a bullet, primer, casing, and gunpowder! It would be nice to ingame maybe get this so like i said we could get more ammo easier or maybe have it to where you have to have maybe level 5 reloading to start doing this? Maybe even having a certain level in the new smithing to do this? It's just a suggestion but feed back and comments on this would be great to tell me if i left something out.

EnigmaGrey Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 It'd almost make the rather lacking amount of ammo in Survival reasonable, if you could also manufacture some of your own. Even better: it'd give a reason to have visible signs of gunfights (spent bullets and casings). Where'd all the ammo go? All over the place . . .

Fryhizzle Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Homemade ammo would be great, especially if it occasionally jammed in your gun. makkenhoff, Zorak, Mr_Sunshine and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makkenhoff Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) I remember that you don't want to pickup recently fired casings bare-handed, they are ridiculously hot, I burned myself when I was real young trying to "help" by pickup spent casings from a rifle, I recall I earned a blister. Amusing (to me at least) childhood story aside, I do wonder where you could get gunpowder from over the longer term; I'm pretty dumb on the manufacturing process of ammo not to mention creation of the material components. I'm a little more familiar with the loading of black powder muskets and cannons, just from years of watching them be fired. But I still couldn't tell you how to produce gunpowder.

You could probably find jars of gunpowder to start off but eventually maybe you could get some sulfer or something and make it yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mark Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I've never had trouble finding ammo but in a multiplayer server with PVP a reloading bench would be a must-have at some point. Could pave the way for more skills, recipes and occupation traits to add even more depth to the game +1 times a thousand if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would see most people policing their brass in this type of situation. If you go to the gun range a lot, you will see a lot of people use nets attached to the weapons that the casings are ejected into. So they never fall to the ground and are already bagged up for you. But to make gunpowder, all you need is potassium nitrate (Basically saltpeter, people use this stuff every day), sulfur (This stuff is likely harder to get), and charcoal Edited April 18, 2016 by Slice985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DresdenBBQ Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 I could've sworn there was a way to get sulfur but i can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makkenhoff Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I don't suppose you could use water that contains higher amounts of sulfur, boil the liquid into a gas, and then use the resulting residue powder? I'm sure you'd end up with other minerals in with your sulfur, but maybe you could separate that using chemistry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely you would need a much better knowledge of explosives then I posses to find a substitute for sulfur. I know it is used for fertilizers, but I have no idea how you would try to filter it out and what quantity you would get. I knew I should have gotten that Chemistry Degree lol..

You get Blackpowder. Blackpowder is more dirty and less powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
