    M14 and Stopping Power?

    Ok, so i've been using the M14 for a little while now and love it. My playing style is always to use the uav jammer on perk 2, but decided to try the M14 with stopping power. The M14 with a silencer/UAV Jammer/steady aim is a two shot kill. With stopping power the M14 is still a two shot kill! This does not make since to me. Shouldn't this make the M14 one shot kill. The sniper rifles are two shots to the body, but with stopping power are one shot. Why is this not the same for the M14. Is this a glitch or what?:salute:

      I know HC is one shot, but that wasn't my question.

        well answering your question i'd say balance, to have a 1 hit kill assault rifle in normal mode would be too harsh, especially considering the other weapons damage in normal

          M14 is a 50 hitpoint rifle, and is one of the few rifles that doesnt fall under the "-1 shot" category. So no, Stopping Power on M14 is literally a wasted perk, unless youre fighting an army of juggernauts.

            Wow, now I feel incredibly stupid for putting stopping power on it...

            I always thought it was three shots... and with stopping power it was two.

              Lol yes, i'm gonna take Stopping Power off of it too now. Thought it was a one shot kill in Harcore with Stopping Power and without Stopping Power a two shot kill.
              Gonna use UAV Jammer with it now or something else.

                Youre not stupid if you shoot for the neck or head, which gives a 1.5 damage multiplier, in which case stopping power does indeed become a 1 shot 1 kill weapon. But if youre going for bodyshots, it literally wont matter. I dont really know about HC mode though, do some experimenting and get back with some results :)

                  I always go for headshots... Maybe I will keep it... But, a headshot should kill anyway. I hate juggernaught...

                    HC its a beast

                    1 hit kill on pretty much anything, cept limbs, and even then i seem to get 1 hit kills when shooting peoples legs... thats all without stopping power

                      Gah, why on earth did I put Stopping Power on my M14?!

                      Well then, which perk fits it best?

                          Im in a same boat with you on this one...

                          So stopping power has really no effect with M14?!? :shock:

                            Unless youre a head/neckshooter, or play Hardcore, it will still require 2 hits.

                              Well, i don't think that the 2 shots will cause any trouble...

                              I have been hitting the marks with pretty solid accuracy lately. Thanks to the Red dot and all the n00bs for not paying any attention..
