What is a ballistic knife?

If you like to play the game Point Black, then you already know a little about such weapons as a ballistic knife. In general, most players do not like it. But in vain. After all, its characteristics are at a fairly high level, and it can be used in almost any situation. So the notoriety accompanies this instrument undeservedly. I even guess, for what reason. First of all, because the ballistic knife will not be cheap.

But let's digress a little from the game and talk about using this weapon in real life. There is such a misconception that this knife was produced in the Soviet Union only for soldiers of special units. This is absolutely untrue, since this country did not produce this type of weapon , and the special services never had them in service. This is due to the fact that they have low reliability, a short distance of effective shooting, and also insufficient safety in circulation. And they produced these knives USA.

In fact, the GRU special purpose units had not a ballistic knife, but a bayonet knife for the Kalashnikov assault rifle, as well as a scout knife that shoots the LRS 2. But the special units of the internal troops were limited to bayonets only. Special forces of the KGB of the Soviet Union were provided with instruments for silent shooting, which worked together with automatic weapons and pistols. They went in addition to the NRS-2. As you can see, these facts completely refute the idea of finding such inefficient weapons as a ballistic knife.

All of the above completely contradicts what is written in the game. Since the version with the special forces of the USSR went, most likely, out of it, it speaks of the ignorance of developers and the distortion of historical facts. But of course, everyone closes their eyes to this. Well, okay, we turn to the indicators of this type of weapons in the game itself. Causes this knife damage equal to 60. The accuracy value is 100. Slightly inferior to the value of the standard speed during a run with a weapon for melee combat. It equals 97.

Now I will say that the above indicators do not play a special role. But before that a little about the cost. In order to get a ballistic knife for one day, you have to give 10 rubles. A week will cost 60, and a month 150. Whatever one may say, it's a lot. Now about the tactics of the game with this weapon. It does not require any special skills. It allows you to use 2 modes. The left manipulator button is a blow that resembles a similar action with a bayonet knife with a twist of the handle. If you press the right button of the manipulator, throw the knife. The advantage of the last action is that it can be performed four times. Because of this, the rival who will flee for you is simply doomed.

For this reason, he is also not liked. If players choose this weapon, they are mostly removed from the room. Although if you are a beginner, then do not pay attention to bad advice. If you want to - play, it's your right. That's actually all I wanted to tell you. The choice is yours.
