    When I use it with guns that have small clips, or on LMGs, I begin to miss the stopping power of, well, Stopping Power. I find it only useful if I intend to attack Rambo style often, and have no way of finding a nice hiding spot to reload. Which would have to be Shipment with more than 10 players.

      I have it on every loadout I run. I could care less about the other perks. I don't need them. But reloading is a ***** when you're in a pinch no matter what gun you run with.

        Yeah it is not worth losing stopping power.. if you are a good player you don't need to reload every time you kill someone and it is also all about the server size.. if you are in a 16 man server or scrim then Stopping power is a must.. but i use stopping power on all my loadouts cept for my P90 cuz double tap work's much better with it if you can aim.. I only use the P90 for rly CQC other wise it is my PRD with Grip, Stopping Power and Steady aim..

          If you force yourself to shoot the upper half of the enemy when you see them and do it until it feels natural, then you don't need Stopping Power anymore.

            Its two ways.

            If you spam/fire a lot and consume your ammo quickly, you will need sleight of hand.

            If you are a conservative player, and know what you are doing nearly all the time, sleight of hand isn't recommended.

              The only guns I use this with are the Mini-Uzi and Skorpion. I used to use it on the shotguns too but after a while I found Double Tap to work better on the W1200 and Stopping Power on the M1014.

              Some people might prefer it on the LMGs too though. I personally think the LMGs have a big enough clip to kill whatever your target is and gives you more than enough spare bullets to escort you to a safe place to reload. It's a matter of personal preference I guess

                i tend to use in on my LMG kits, though i also use juggernaut with them (big slow, damaging and tough)

                and if my kit is set up right on shipment i have it with the AK-74

                though i just got overkill, so perk 2 is sometimes taken with that, especially when sniping

                  But I do conserve my ammo, it's just that I'm a BF2 veteran, and I'm used to reloading after every few rounds. It just feels awkward not having a full clip going into a firefight.

                    I use it for my LMG kit as I cover fire (find it too inaccurate for my play style to use conventionally). If I pick up a rifle as well, it makes for a nicely deadly combination.

                      I use it on everyone of my classes I use.
                      I can't stand not having it/ reloading slow

                        To be honest the standard reload times on the weapons is exceptionally fast for me anyway. I'd much prefer stopping power or juggernaut.
                        For those of you that use/have used assault rifles you'll know what i mean, reloading takes ages compared to games, as such i'm always pleasantly surprised when my character manages to whip a new mag on in about 4 seconds.

                          ...you use slight of hand with the G3 because if its small clips...its semi auto and at most you need 2-4 bullets per person that like encountering 6 hostiles and your saying you don't have time between to reload. Dude you are rushing this game with the wrong rifle, use the M14 if you wanna rush with a semi (1-2 shots), G3 is for support/marksmen like the M16.

                            not true, it helps even when shooting the chest, give it a try instead of it taking 3 round's to kill it take's 2 on most gun's.. Stopping power is a must.
