Talk:Straight-pull Bolt/@comment-76.14.232.104-20160110050559

Best attachment available for every bolt-action sniper rifle. Do yourself a favor, and buy this first thing for each bolt-action sniper you get (or already have). It is even more important than optics. Here's why:

Between each shot (ignoring needing to reload the weapon), you have the following things that must happen without a straight-pull bolt:

Refire time: 170ms

Scope out time: 150ms (I think this is the same for all infantry weapon, or at least most of them)

Chamber time: 1100-1500ms (depends on specific weapon, even longer for RailJack)

Scope in time: 125ms (again, I think this is same for all weapons)

Aim time: variable (determined by using skill, and how long it takes for hold-breath to steady the weapon if applicable)

Having a straight-pull bolt, cuts out the scope out and scope in times from the sequence, but even more, you can take care of aiming time (or at least some of it) while the refire time and chamber time are transpiring. As a result, your maximum effective firing rate is substantially increased.
