BFBC2 Mythbusters: Does the M95 Have Reduced Bullet Drop?

Hey everybody,
I recently did an M95 Gun Review on Pixel Enemy's channel:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zCqA_a-sCY&hd=1
and received a number of comments claiming that the M95 had reduced bullet drop when compared to the other sniper rifles in this game. I had read that before on various forums and wikis, but I had also read a tweet from Demize99 (senior gameplay designer for BFBC2) saying that such claims were untrue.

So, I decided to test the M95's bullet drop myself. In doing so, I discovered that the GOL is the only sniper rifle with absolutely no idle sway while scoped in.

If you'd like to see a more in-depth, thorough, and scientific analysis of the bullet drop in this game, click the following link:

Since I see some people argued over realism....

well realistic would be if:

You had to stay 24/7 online

You had to go through 1 year of training (AT LEAST!)

No entering a helicopter without being a TRAINED PILOT. Same for jets and tanks

Once you're dead YOU ARE DEAD.

Not even ARMA 2 or 3 did that.

@StelarCF too realistic is not fun at all..

[shotgunmasterQL]

interesting thing is that console version doesnt have sway O_o

@EddieDaOnly1 What, only one month. I've replied to people when their comment was two years old.

[EddieDaOnly1]

@InsaneShadow90 thanks for the super late reply

[InsaneShadow90]

@EddieDaOnly1 In-game it's GOL, and that's all that matters. Besides, you don't have to be a grammar nazi about something that goes by preference.

[iSh0Tu99]

For me the GOL has a faster bullet travel.

@duff5ooo ok

[duff5ooo]

@SKYD1VER98 If this was real life.... But it isnt. All have the same speed, all have the same drop. As confirmed by the devs.

[SKYD1VER98]

M95 have bigger Caliber. Thats why the bullet drop is smaller. (40-50cal)

[codwawbarbaridades]

I prefer also to long distance gol magnum

[EddieDaOnly1]

Its the G.O.L. not GOL
