[QUOTE="Festy_Dog, post: 1731269, member: 2561"] I have to go with Krieg on this one, that statement was just harsh. This thread, having subject matter comparing the effect of real-world firearms as opposed to the effect of the same weapons in a game would naturally attract those with personal experience in the matter. Just as you would expect a doctor or nurse to post opinions based off personal experience to a query on the rate of natural healing in a game, you can expect those with experience in firearms to post to a thread querying the realism of firearms within a ruleset. You can hardly get an accurate cross-section of the types of user that visit the ENWorld forums by taking a sample from the posts within a thread with content that relates to a specific area of knowledge. The fact that you see more people with military experience posting in this thread (and in my personal opinion there haven't been enough to consider the number unrealistic) simply means that in this instance they believed their opinion would help shed some light on the matter.
