[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1172365, member: 8873"] Frank, None of our Sniper Weapon Systems have a lefty twist. If you are talking about left spin drift canceling out the rightward Coriolis effect, that would only work in the northern hemisphere. Problem with that is that for most of our effective ranges Coriolis is such a small factor that no value is usually entered, so it wouldn't cancel out anything (none worth noting on a regular basis). I would rather they not mess with something like that as some of our weapons would be right and some left, better to have one standard or it could get confusing. Besides, we don't just operate in the northern hemisphere. [/QUOTE]
