consider how weapons are balanced among each other in the same caliber in regards to sway. Sparks has one shot but is more stable in live than Lebel or Mosin, in test Mosin and Lebel have same non-existent sway as Sparks, making them straight upgrades, and thats before the velocity changes.
That is not correct. All standard rifles have the same sway settings. There are only differences for rifles with bayonet attached and now, in 1.0, also for weapons with silencers. Base Sparks, Mosin, Lebel, Vetterli and Winfield share the same sway setup, which has been been lowered on test server the same for all.
