The New Spray
What you’re seeing here is the view-angle magnitude of the AK-47 during a spray, where the relative peaks align with each bullet being fired.
BLUE – New view-angle magnitude (lower values)
RED – Old view-angle magnitude (higher values)
You can clearly see that the view-angle magnitude is lower in the new version and higher in the old one.
In theory, this should make spray control much easier, but it’s a pretty drastic change, and it’s going to take time to fully adjust.
The pattern:
On the left is the old spray pattern, and on the right is the new spray pattern — no changes here.
Peak differences old vs new:
Here’s a table showing the magnitude differences between the new and old versions at each relative peak. As you can see, the view-angle magnitude is consistently lower in the new version.
For the spray analysis:
Cl_showpos can be used here, but not for movement data.
Host_timescale 0.1 with fps_max 400 was used to reduce noise.
The values were extracted using my own OCR system, with ~98% accuracy.
