Talk:Hunting Rifle

Changed Mini-14 to Mini-30. They're essentially the same gun, but the fact that it does more damage than the M16 means it would have to have a higher caliber, which is the only real difference between the two guns.

Suggest correcting where it states "The magazine size in-game in reality holds 5 rounds". The magazine portrayed in-game is a 10 round magazine. The 5 round magazines on the Mini-14 go completely inside the magazine well and sit flush with the receiver.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems to resemble the M1 Carbine more than the Mini-30. Cpl. Wilding 14:51, November 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * It doesnt look anything like the Carbine.--'Meester SHOGUN 450  RO A  R! 19:49, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

I'm just saying, to me it looks more like a Carbine...the sights look similar (at least to me) and the butt, trigger casing and magazine look similar to me, but I'm not gonna argue. Cpl. Wilding 13:55, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Damage per Shot
The sidebar says this does 90 damage per shot, the tactics section says 75 per shot. Is it 75 or 90? Fadm tyler 03:48, November 7, 2009 (UTC)+

Now a Tier 1 weapon?
Is it possible that the Hunting Rifle can now be considered a Tier 1 weapon in Left 4 Dead 2, as it has an alternative gun with the same function, but is more accurate and holds more ammo? 69.12.204.128 11:22, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

It's still tier 2, in the demo at least it never spawns with other tier 1 weapons, also its accuracy is very similar to the sniper rifle and they both serve the same function.--Eateroftheflame 00:23, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Simple plan: Let's wait about four days and see. Imperialscouts 01:40, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

You cannot just say it's a Tier 1 weapon because it feels like it's a Tier 1 weapon. Frankly, the Steam Community Stats say it's a Tier 2 weapon. The difference between the two guns is that the hunting rifle is more accurate, giving the player a choice of more shots per reload or better accuracy on the run. cowfish13 07:49, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Hunting Rifle
Well, I think the hunting rifle could be considered a Tier 1 weapon now because it is weaker and less ammo capacitiy then its other counterpart. Even though it doesn't spawn with the tier 1 weapons it still technically now is a tier 1 weapon.


 * Uh, No? Look above your edits for once, huh?--'Meester SHOGUN 450  RO A  R! 07:34, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Dumb Question?
Is the Hunting Rifle good vs a Tank?

One round with my buddies, I did exactly 1800 damage to the tank in normal* mode with the Hunting Rifle while the tank was Mid-range and approaching.

I don't think it's really effective against the Tank. Auto shotgun is much more effective. Jo the Marten ♠  ( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  19:14, November 16, 2009 (UTC)
