Hi Damien, Well, what Philip and i are talking about isn't so much the mechanics of guns, but simple logistics when firing them. If you have a shotgun or rifle three feet long there is no way on earth you can point it at a target one feet away because there is not enough room between you and the target to aim the barel at it. However, if you have something small like a .38 pistol, then you can walk right up to the enemy and pop a few rounds into it because that is a very small handgun. I would think that something like this would be common sense since you would have to account for the size and length of the gun in question.
And while I'm on the subject this applies in general to any weapon. If you have a four foot long broadsword you have to have a good three or four feet between you and the enemy just to account for the length of the blade.That is not even considering the length of your arms that adds a couple of extra feet to your maximum striking range. It is these details that Philip and I feel are lacking in accessible games probably because game developers just don't stop to think about them that much, or they just don't know any different. Cheers!
