Hi Shooters!
We hope this Friday is a good one for you — and for shooting!
Here is what we have prepared for the current **World of Shooting** update:
## New Practical Shooting Rifle Set
A new thematic set has been added to **Practical Shooting — Rifles**.
This set has strict equipment limitations:
* Semi-automatic rifles only
* No red dot sights
* No scopes
* No laser sights
* Iron sights only
You can check the gameplay in the video above.
The set is not overly difficult and should be pretty straightforward, but it also includes some parkour elements, advanced firing positions, and more complex targets.
We do not recommend using rifles such as the **SIG SG550** or **HK PSG-1**, because they do not have proper iron sights and can only enter the stage with a Picatinny rail. However, we tested them anyway, and yes — it is still possible to complete the stages with them. LOL.
## PP-19 Bizon Updated
We have added new hand geometry and new animations for the **PP-19 Bizon** SMG.
This was not an easy update, because the Bizon uses a non-standard helical magazine. It was even difficult to find proper video references showing how it is reloaded in real military use.
## Good News for Stage Creators
We have good news for players who like to build custom stages.
First of all, after fixing the in-game filters and setting up proper tags in the Steam Workshop, we can now make the **Shooting Range Creator** DLC free.
Initially, this DLC was created as a paid item to reduce spam and low-quality submissions in the Workshop. Now that better filtering and Workshop tagging are in place, we want to make it available for free so more players can create and share their own stages.
We cannot change the price immediately by ourselves, but the request has already been sent to Steam Support.
## New Arenas for Custom Stages
We have also added two new arenas for stage creation:
* **Practical Shooting Range 50m**
* **Shooting Range 200m**
To make IPSC-style stage creation more comfortable, we have also added new trails.
## Improvements for Skin Creators
A bug in the color selection menu has been fixed. Previously, if you clicked too fast, a sticker could disappear.
We have also added the ability to zoom weapons in and out in the menu by up to **20%** using the mouse wheel.
## Bolt-Action Rifle Reloading Logic Improved
We have improved the reloading logic for bolt-action rifles.
Previously, stripper clip reloading started only when all cartridges were completely used. If even one cartridge remained in the chamber, the rifle would reload one cartridge at a time instead of using a full stripper clip.
This was not correct. To start loading cartridges, the bolt must be opened, and during this operation the chambered cartridge is ejected. Because of this, the full stripper clip reload animation should be used in such cases.
This logic has now been updated.
Thank you for playing **World of Shooting** and for sharing your feedback with us!
See you on the range!
