I was joking :)

I know, I dont really want a CG with Red-dot either
Still interested in a canister shell launcher though

Re: Battleblog #8: Build your weapon of choice.

What is a canister shell launcher?


I'm also really looking forward to the M39 EBR. I've always been more of a medium-long range accurate shot kind of guy. I loved the BAUR in single shot on BF2142, the M14 and M1 Garands in BC2, and the M16A2 in single shot on BF2. The less shot to kill a target the better.

Canister shells are shotgun rounds for tank cannons, its a vehicle upgrade in BF3.
But imagine carrying around a 120mm shotgun, even if it was single shot!

Re: Battleblog #8: Build your weapon of choice.

I'd enjoy that a lot. I like being able to customize my vehicles as opposed to having a definite load out for everybody. In BF2 I would have loved to have more bombs in my F35B than missiles. IIRC it was 6 sidewinders to 2 bombs. I would have preferred 6 bombs to 2 missiles.

Re: Battleblog #8: Build your weapon of choice.

What do you mean by a modern M1 Garand? Are you talking about an M1 Garand with a synthetic stock?






I'm not a big fan of wood on weapons, but the M1 is one of those rifles that has an absolutely beautiful shape. I plan on buying an M1 Garand, but I'm never going to get a tactical one. I'm not sure if I want a synthetic stock or a wood stock.

A modern m1 garand? isnt it called m14 :P ?

Re: Battleblog #8: Build your weapon of choice.

M1 Garand = 8 rounds en bloc clips of .30-.06

M14 = 20 rounds of .308

M1 Garand is shorter and much more fun to shoot in my opinion. I don't like old M14s, only the new ones.



Now imagine this with a foregrip and an ACOG

Re: Battleblog #8: Build your weapon of choice.

i know they are not the same thing, i just thought the m14 was some sort of new version of the "M", like an evolution. just like there's the ak47 and then the ak101

Re: Battleblog #8: Build your weapon of choice.

Yeah, the M14 was designed to replace the M1 Garand and was based on it, but it wasn't a direct evolution and is actually a separate rifle designed by someone else.

Re: Battleblog #8: Build your weapon of choice.

They pretty much use the exact same stock and receiver.

I prefer the M1 Garand, although the 8 round magazine is it's only con in my opinion. Great sights, great weight, amazing accuracy, quick reloading (although Garand-thumb is a danger), etc.

M14 is longer, and in my opinion makes it more front heavy and difficult to stop on target when switching targets rapidly. Recoil is lower though, but so is damage.

God I love the M1. Whatever person said it was the best battle implement ever devised for it's time was spot on. (I'm biased)

Plus I'm Dr.Sexypants when I hold it. xD
