Talk:.357 Magnum

From Combine OverWiki, the English Half-Life Wikia

The accuracy of the .357 is not infinite, because there is a limit to it's accuracy. Infinite means there is no limit, and 'cause you can't shoot targets infinitely far accurately with the Magnum, it clearly isn't infinitely accurate. Tavisman 10:26, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

And besides which, even if a weapon was technically 'infinitely accurate' due to the way a game is coded, this page isn't technical documentation of the weapon's attributes, but an encyclopedic representation of it. "Accuracy: Excellent" will suffice. --MattyDienhoff 12:42, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Well then, what do you propose? "Perfect"? CompuHacker 18:54, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

No, "Excellent". On terminology, I think Excellent, Good, Moderate, and Poor do a fine job of describing a weapon's accuracy, graded from best to worst. Though I've seen them used, High, Medium and Low aren't suitable for this purpose (in my opinion), and Average is purely subjective. They should be avoided. --MattyDienhoff 08:10, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
