Re: Point of using M95 in infantry maps

Guys have you ever thought about the fact that snipers always use silencer! Otherwise their location is not a secret anymore.

BF2 is missing this feature on sniper rifles

The only thing they have a silenced pistol but that is only secondary weapon

Sorry, this is a bit offtopic :)

Re: Point of using M95 in infantry maps

Because it's considered inhumane and unnecessary I would imagine.

I understand your point, but coming from someone in the real military, Its F*cking war!!!! and NE ways i am pretty sure the us has snipers shooting people wit fiddy cals, they just don't tell the whale loving, tree hugging, granola crunching, draft dodging, radical liberals.

I wouldn't say they always use them - "supressors" have an impact on the velocity, affecting overall range etc. It would depend on the mission I suppose. I'm sure they get used by spec-op sniper squads etc.

I also doubt you'd be able to supress the report of an M95

Would be a cool option for some maps though!

It is actually against the Rules of engagement (in the military not BF2) for U.S. military personnel to shot someone with a 50 cal sniper rifle, you can aim at them but not shoot them afaik.

...Really? What about this:

This is interesting too:

According to Operation Iraqi Freedom PEO Soldier Lessons Learned [LTC Jim Smith 15 May 2003] "The Barrett 50 cal Sniper Rifle may have been the most useful piece of equipment for the urban fight – especially for our light fighters. The XM107 was used to engage both vehicular and personnel targets out to 1400 meters. Soldiers not only appreciated the range and accuracy but also the target effect. Leaders and scouts viewed the effect of the 50 cal round as a combat multiplier due to the psychological impact on other combatants that viewed the destruction of the target.
“My spotter positively identified a target at 1400 meters carrying an RPG on a water tower. I engaged the target. The top half of the torso fell forward out of the tower and the lower portion remained in the tower.” 325th PIR Sniper "There were other personal anecdotes of one round destroying two targets and another of the target “disintegrating.”

I get more close up kills with the L95......Especially! when infantry are advancing in Karkand

Re: Point of using M95 in infantry maps

i find the big crosshairs of the 95 great in close quuarters.

Re: Point of using M95 in infantry maps

Ok. here is the L96 crosshairs (example of course)

________|_________

M96
44444444444||||4444444444

Honestly why would anyone want to use that gun for shooting people. Aim a mile over their head and you might hit them in the big toe.

Re: Point of using M95 in infantry maps

I'd say, it's more satisfying to make a long range headshot with a weapon more difficult to master. Just for the fun, I've been using M95 for a long time now, and I'm getting used to it.

L96A1 is best for sniping medium to long range. SVD and Type 88 are best for close range to medium range. To get the best feeling of making it right, use M95.

If u can use M95, u can use them all.

Re: Point of using M95 in infantry maps

I'll take the M95 any day!!! It is my main sniping rifle and I have over 200 hours in with it so if you know your gun well enough then you don't need to whine about crosshairs, bullet drop, or why it is not as good as other rifles!! The M95 is the best dang sniper rifle out there just learn how to use it!

Barely anybody uses silenced sniper rifles in real life because it has a major impact on velocity, and accuracy. Silencers are only really used in close, urban combat. Swat uses silencers to slow down the bullet so they don't over penetrate walls and kill civilians, and of course the whole "SILENT"thing.

Re: Point of using M95 in infantry maps

Ok let say that do more damage to body armored kits, so why it has same damage to unarmored body kits?

M95 has a different ammo material than other handheld weapons. Different materials have different damage modifiers. Shotguns also have a different ammo material than bullet weapons so their damage is reduced more against body armor.
