“Right. You might know this, but in GGO, gunshots at point-blank range are considerably toned down when compared to the equivalent in RL.”

LLENN nodded. She had heard this from Pitohui before.

That the gun depiction was based on RL guns was GGO’s distinguishing characteristic, but the volume alone wasn’t completely reproduced.

If it wasn’t so, no one would be able to talk while shooting, and it would unmistakably lead to people becoming deaf one after the other.

“However, although the volume of gunshots is toned down to some extent, in other words to the level that that they would result in damage to one’s ears, the decay based on location and distance is reproduced based on how it is in RL. So, if you are familiar with it, you can determine how far the opponent is shooting from.”
