Farquhar Hill
A self-loading rifle from 1918, deriving its system from a 1908 patent.Farquhar_Hill
Can be found in SMG/Rifle - Battle Rifle.
Farquhar-Hill is a trial rifle that almost went into production but too late for the war. Typical of some self-loaders of this time period, it also comes with a vertical foregrip which unusually can be moved to fit the user's preference.
Compared to Howell, this rifle is a bit more gentle on recoil and recovers faster. The rear sight aperture is very large, suitable for close quarters but can hit up to around 200 m if aimed carefully.
Upon researching about the real Farquhar-Hill, I've added more features such as clip loading and bolt hold/release. For the WW1 time frame, this rifle is probably the most "tacticool" of all self-loaders.
As usual, this rifle also has invisible rails. This time it was inevitable with the adjustable foregrip.
More information can be found at the spawn table.
=Known Issues= If you lock the bolt open with a full magazine, you can load up to 21 rounds (1 on "magazine escape" position + 1 on "manual chambering" position), despite the magazine holding only 19. Currently looking into it.
=Future Plans= May or may not animate the rear ladder sight. This requires extensive ballistic experiment and I'm not sure if I want to do that.
=Credits= The Farquhar-Hill model and sound are ripped from Battlefield 1.
