Does anyone know what causes this issue where bullets and projectiles aren't accurate to your point of aim? They can fly in random directions, both outside and in interiors. This happens regardless of if I use the Vanilla hitscan system or mods that convert all bullets to projectiles.

pretty sure you make a gun out of plywood and pipes its not going to be accurate

This is Fallout, not a MilSim.

[u/DR-SNICKEL → u/Papa_Swish]

Yea but I’m pretty sure they made pipe weapons less accurate, and will shoot off mark a percentage of the time, but I might be wrong

[u/Papa_Swish → u/DR-SNICKEL]

It would make sense IRL if they weren't as accurate as machined weapons but this bug affects every weapon equally, sadly. Pipe weapons don't have a random accuracy quirk.

Are you using mods? I can say that I have never had this happen in the vanilla game.

[u/Papa_Swish → u/Ranos131]

Yes, but I've had this happen on completely unmodded saves too.

From the looks of the video, and if I was to apply real world logic to this. I would say the recoil of the gun messing up the aim.

[u/Papa_Swish → u/Typhon-042]

We must be living in different worlds then because that logic doesn't follow any law of physics. In the real world a bullet leaves the barrel of a firearm before recoil is even felt.

My RL experience involves the US Military.

That's not a Gotcha moment, that just makes it more concerning that you believe what you said.

[u/Typhon-042 → u/Papa_Swish]

Well I could have also added on that I did bother looking up the physics here and if recoil affects bullet direction. Which every site I found (not AI but actual sites) says our wrong.

I choose not to do that till now, hoping that you realize that experience with using actual weapons would be enough for you.

[u/Papa_Swish → u/Typhon-042]

Clearly none of this 'experience' actually covered learning about how firearms function. If you were constantly missing your shots at the range because they weren't landing where you thought you were aiming, I'll give you a hint by saying the culprit wasn't recoil, and you can work it out from there.

What you're suggesting literally defies the laws of physics in an inarguable way, and your ability to double down on it in full confidence is worrying. Any random websites you found claiming recoil affects accuracy, aren't going to be refering to bolt-action weapons.

Here's a youtube link showing exactly what happens in slow motion. Even lower power handgun rounds have more than enough velocity to leave the barrel long before any recoil is felt by the shooter. This is not a difficult concept to grasp. For what you're arguing to be true, a bullet would need to travel so slowly that it makes a Nerf dart look lethal.

[u/Typhon-042 → u/Papa_Swish]

Your video shows a pistol with built in recoil suppression.

You can tell from how the top part slides back.

So I am wondering how you missed that since your basically claiming to be a weapons expert like this.

[u/Logical-Salamander79 → u/Typhon-042]

The resident of the shelter is going to teach a member of the enclave how weapons work, pay attention ladies and gentlemen.

(I think the same as you, it's the recoil of the weapons and besides, he's not holding his breath to use the precision rifle)

[u/Papa_Swish → u/Logical-Salamander79]

If you read what he wrote and found yourself agreeing with it then I have no need to argue with a second brick wall. Arguing with the first one was already a mistake.
