" I don't get why are there bolt sniper rifles when damage is about the same as with self loading such as ZH29"
-------------------
Iam not sure but ive heard that the ZH29 and Model8 cant kill with a single headshot, while bolt action snipers can + bolt action rifles like the lee enfield have a similar ROF... good snipers can headshot 24/7, players like me suck at sniping so the ZH29 is a crutch so that bad snipers can score positive KD with this rifle...
You are correct none of the SLR's are OHK with a headshot.
The Model 8 is actually quite good for a Recon pushing an objective solo, very nice ROF.
I don't know about model 8 but ZH29 is one shot kill if you head shot. The thing is that it's hard to nail the head so you must use "steady scope" button.

Sorry man but the ZH29 takes 2 headshots to kill if the target is full health. It's one of the main complaints about the proficiency & mastery assignments which require headshot kills with the gun.
I rather use the Selbstlader 1906 than the ZH29. Same damage but better rof and better ironsights, the only downside is the reload time if you dont empty it before reloading. And if you put a scope on it you allways get the long reload.
I also like to run shootguns with slug spec, allways gives you some funny hackusations in the chat when you do long range 1 shot head-shot kills.

You are right! Selbstalder takes about 50 point per shot which is about the same as ZH29 while it has 26 bullet magazine.
The thing I noticed is that in weapons specs it only shows little less damage but in game in take 2x less.
For instance Breda rifle has only 25 point damage and in specs it shows only little less damage than Selbstlader which has 50 point damage (on average).
ZH29 is for people who think they are snipers, but in fact can't handle a proper sniper rifle.
I despise the ZH29, it doesn't even feel like it should belong in the scout class. It seems much more like an assault or medic weapon. It makes me so triggered when I get t-bagged by a camping sniper that is using that god awful sniper.
No offense OP or anybody that uses the ZH29, I just don't like it. lol : D
There is a selb1916 is the big mag assault semi - the selb1906 is the recon slr with a 5 rnd mag.
Completely different dmg models for balancing reasons....
I see.
a bit off topic but still - how can selb1916 have 1x more damage per shot than Breda? In specs the damage bar shows only a little less damage?
never trust DICEs ingame Ui in BFV, its on the bad side of readability and information-display.... they should just forgo the slide-bars and give numbered values instead
The drilling and 1907 with irons , does that count as non meta ? I LOVE he drilling, getting those flick headshots from miles away scratches that itch! hahah
It’s like a laser. Also bear in mind it’s about how bullets actually hit not just the rof itself.
true but higher ROF weapons tend to perform better in BFV, especially if they also out DPS you at the same time (i.E almost all LMGs and ARs beyond 20m)

I also use the Karabin for the assault class. I guess it is technically a meta weapon, but I barely see people use it.

MP40 I would say it's not meta....
