-Most of the weapons in UrT have fictional stats: either wrong ammo count or incorrect burst-fire capability, to speak nothing of the rate of fire (comparing the stopping power to their real-life counterparts would be just plain silly).

-Different weapons have different cool-down rates, meaning the time between stopping shooting and the spread falling back to the normal for that weapon and aim zeroing (in UrT, recoil affects the aim only temporarily). Snipers are 100% accurate while scoped in, but completely inaccurate when not. All three scoped weapons also have very noticable movement penalty: walking, running, jumping, sliding or being on unstable footing (swimming, in the air) reduces the weapon’s accuracy to nothing. (The scope ring displayed around the crosshair center that shows your current spread works on a zero-small-medium-large principle, it doesn’t display the //area// the bullet would hit in.) The movement penalty of other weapons is negligible; crouching does not offer any advantage. See the [[#equipment|Equipment]] section below for spread-reducing addons.+Different weapons have different cool-down rates, meaning the time between stopping shooting and the spread falling back to the normal for that weapon and aim zeroing (in UrT, recoil affects the aim only temporarily).

 + 
 +All weapons other than launched and thrown grenades and knife are hitscan, meaning that there’s no bullet drop or flight time — each shot draws a straight line and instantly hits whatever it passes through. Possible delay between the shot and the hit is purely a networking artifact. Bullets can’t penetrate objects (other than breakables) so killing two people with a single shot is not possible. By default hit sounds are enabled, playing a “plink” every time a shot hits a living body (you can disable this with ''**cg_hitsound 0**''). The hit sound is always the same regardless of the damage, but you can additionally enable a kill sound (''**cg_killsound 1**'').

Silencer reduces the sound, removes the muzzle flash, and since people have always believed it enhances your accuracy, since 4.0 [[http://www.urbanterror.info/forums/topic/20329-i-dont-get-a-lot-of-the-optional-gear/page__view__findpost__p__255101|it apparently does]] (only by a few percent or so though). Silencer does not reduce damage.+Laser gives you tighter groups (better accuracy), but also requires you to mind where you’re pointing the weapon — the red dot can alert an otherwise unaware enemy. It’s not intended as a replacement for your crosshair since the apparent size of the dot changes rather a lot depending on distance. The laser pointed at your eyes does not blind you and in fact isn’t visible to you at all.
-For weapons that support both, you can use both items at the same time.+Silencer reduces the sound and removes the muzzle flash; it does not reduce the damage. Although the description says it reduces the spread “a little”, it’s most likely a mistake (a remnant of a planned feature that was never implemented) — the actual effect measured by some players is just a percent or two, well within the margin of error. The developers have mostly avoided saying anything on the topic, but when they do they tend to deny that there is any spread reduction.((Well, interesting stats on that site, though I think the 1% spread decrease from the silencer is just random noise - it shouldn't affect spread at all (unless I've missed something in the code, but I spent hours searching) - the misunderstanding began because of the wrong description in the weapon description.\\ —[[http://www.urbanterror.info/forums/topic/18050-weapon-review/page__view__findpost__p__235522|Raedwulf in 2009]]\\ \\ **<Fenix|C>** actually as I said, in the code the spread is not reduced by the silencer\\ **<Fenix|C>** but maybe it reduce something else, that reduce the spread.\\ %%[%%[[http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=#urbanterror|#urbanterror]] on QuakeNet, March 24, 2013]))
