Weapon Spray Viewer

Data: assets/data/spray-patterns.json

The recoil spray of every weapon: where the view ends up after each shot of a sustained burst. Pick a weapon, then Season 1, Season 2 or Compare to overlay both. Stance, focus and default-attachment multipliers rescale the spray, and a distance turns degrees into metres on a target. The overview at the bottom shows all the sprays at once; click a tile to open it. The recoil rules are in Weapons §5a, and each weapon’s inputs are in the spread and recoil data.

Each marker is a shot at the weapon's rounds per minute. The shaded block after the last shot is the pattern reset time: pause longer than that and the pattern starts again from shot 1. A dashed tick marks where the fixed pattern ends and the random section begins.

How to read it

• The plot is the view offset in degrees after each shot, starting from the aim point (white dot). Firearms do not pull the view back by themselves, so the sprays only keep climbing until you pull down.
• Pattern shots are filled markers; once the fixed pattern ends, each shot’s kick is random inside a yaw range and a pitch range. Those shots are hollow markers on a path through the middle of the ranges, with a box around each (10th to 90th percentile).
• Random-turn fan. Each shot inside the pattern is turned by a random angle up to the weapon’s deviation setting; the wedge shows that spread.
• Multipliers. Stance scales the whole kick (stand, crouch, prone). Focus removes the weapon’s focus reduction percentage. Default attachments apply the weapon’s horizontal and vertical recoil multipliers with its default attachments fitted. The weapon’s own view-kick magnitude multiplier always applies.
• Metres. The extra axis converts a view offset to the sideways or upward miss on a target at the chosen distance, distance × tan(angle).
• Compare. Season 1 is blue with round markers and a dashed line; Season 2 is green with square markers and a solid line. A weapon missing from one season is shown with the other only.
• Evidence and method: Weapons §5a and the spread and recoil data.
