Pushback from Thompson vs MP40

[Noir]

Dear fellows,

 

there is one question bothering me. I encountered if I stay on a wall and some players shot me with Thompson, the hit impact push me back and I will fall of the wall. If I shot any players with MP40 that does not happen.

 

Is the Thompson stronger than the MP40 or is there an other explanation?

 

Also generally, in 1 on 1 fights with specific players (Thompson vs MP40 and full health) I experienced also something strange. Even when I don´t get hit in the head, I´m done within less than one second. The amount of bullets have been shot in that time shouldn´t kill me even every one hits me, like the weapon is just stronger.

 

I´m looking forward for your answers community :3

MP40 dmg = Thompson dmg. The guns are exactly the same. Only in RTCW they differ a bit.

 

 

Most of ET players would say using Thompson or MP40 is personal preference, which is true. But technically they both have same damage, spread etc. Remember that level 3 light weaposns reduces spread. So if your enemy is higher XP he might have an advantage.

Maybe the hitsounds are played more often or otherwise differently with mp40? Because as lvl4 soldier with both smgs I notice myself switching always to mp40 whenever I have bullets as it seems to hit better. Even though the acc might tell a different story...

 

In beginners server the rate of fire is insanly high, so even without HS it´s possible to "1-shot" to death?

One hit cant kill you even there, not with full health. Its also 3 hs and you're down but since its fast shooting it may seem like a second

Ive always felt that mp40 is more accurate and thompson is stronger. But I dont think, its true, just a perception

[C3jZi]

in real life the thompson is stronger

In real life thompson is more accurate in near distances and mp40 on further distances.

Some time ago I had the same questions and found this :

 

Thomson vs MP40 vs Sten spread / weapon level is not specified but I suppose it's the highest

wow rainier, thats really nice

Sorry but thats a cheap excuse players use when they get outplayed.

You dont die in a second or with one bullet.You cant count how many bullets the opponent has shot while you are in the middle of the fight nor can you calculate the time the opponent has been firing their weapon.

Rainier's image tells a somewhat different story than the stats do..which seems impossible if their stats are the same. Tommy has more spread though.
