Point Blank 3 and DS ranks numerous aspects of a player's performance such as concentration, accuracy, judgement etc., and then presents them with an overall letter grade. Point Blank 1 & 2 's ranking is based on how many points have been accumulated, lives remaining, and how many continues have been used, and will advise the player to advance up to a higher difficulty, try out head to head with a friend, return to a lower difficulty, or to practice more. Upon completing all stages, players will have their performance ranked. There are six different types of stages in the game: Accuracy, where both players must shoot the designated areas with the highest points, Intelligence, where they must count to sixteen (by shooting the numbers), Memory, where they must match two cards by shooting two matching cards, Simulation, where they are required to shoot the cardboard robbers but not civilians (in the Japanese theme of this type, they must shoot cardboard ninjas, but not geishas), Visual Acuity, where they are required to shoot the target which matches what is displayed, and Speed, where they are required to shoot targets of their designated colors (depending players play from left or right) in the arcade version, both light guns must also be calibrated before the crosshairs on the screen shall move. Players lose lives if they fail to fulfill the stage quota, or shoot Do Not Shoot targets, such as Bombs, Civilians or the opponent's colour targets. Most stages have unlimited bullets, but some have a limited amount of ammo.
Players are shown four missions in each grouping, and may attempt them in any order they usually have only three lives for the entire game, but this may depend on the cabinet settings. Dan, among other miscellaneous challenges, similar to games like Police Trainer, and Area 51: Site 4 - and players choose the desired difficulty level (Practice, Beginner, Advanced, and Very Hard in the first game, or Training, Beginner, Advanced, and Insane in the second game onwards) which will determine how many stages must be finished to complete the game, as well as their overall difficulty. The game consists of non-violent shooting contests where players are tasked with challenges such as shooting player-colored bulls-eyes, cardboard criminals, and other inanimate objects, not shooting bombs and cardboard cutouts of civilians (much like in Namco's first light-gun game, Steel Gunners), and protecting characters Dr. The point blank range of a firearm can be anywhere from a couple inches to a few meters, depending on the type of weapon and its projectile.Players use two attached light guns (in the case of the DS, a pen or in the case of the iOS version, touching the screen) to hit targets onscreen missions require speed, quick judgment or pinpoint accuracy. So, technically, point blank range is that distance where you don’t have to adjust your aim to factor in the effect of Earth’s gravity or other factors to hit the target precisely at point blank range, you can simply aim your firearm at the target and strike it with 100% accuracy. That is why shooters have to aim slightly above their target to hit it accurately. Since the horizontal velocity of the bullet is very high, it seems to travel in a straight line, but contrary to what it might seem, a bullet actually follows a parabolic path (not a straight one). The moment a bullet leaves the muzzle of the gun, it starts falling towards the ground due to Earth’s gravity (and a few other factors as well as, such as air friction, wind resistance etc.). Or do they?Īctually, they don’t, if the target is far enough away.

Unless you’re one of the characters from the 2008 movie Wanted, the bullets you fire always go in a straight line.
