If you unlocked a gun, tell us about it

[PaleH0rs3]

I unlocked the M95 .50 cal for my first unlock. Being a CS:S player I was expecting something along the lines of the AWP with 1S1K, but that is not the case. Initially I was a bit dissapointed with the rifle because it usually takes 2 shots to kill someone, and with the slow reload time, they often take cover after the first shot and its hard to get a second one on them. After alot of practice though I figured out how to use the gun effeciently. I estimate that the gun does 85-90% damage, because when I get hit by another sniper it's easy to tell it was a M95 (you have almost no health left). Because of this, a trick I often use is to shoot an enemy once with the M95, then quickly pull out my pistol to 1-shot finish him off. This works great at close-medium range because it's quicker to pull out the pistol then to wait for the reload. Another advantage of the gun is that if you only get 1-shot on an enemy, you will almost always get the kill-damage assist on him when someone else kills him. This really helps you rack up the points. I also have fun sniping blackhawk pilots, although its usually hard to kill them, taking them down to almost 0 health will oftem make them panic and flee. If you do kill them, the idiot crew members sometimes fail to take control of the aircraft and fall to their death. I would reccommend the M95 for anyone that enjoys sniping, and it's a great support weapon to back up your assult squad from far away. My next unlock will definately be the L85 tho. Hope this helps all the people that unlocked the M95 and now regret it.

for my next unlock *hopefully w/in a couple of days here* i'm looking at either the l85 or the g36c or the g3

but i LOVE the m16's and i've become very good at shooting w/ iron sights, what gun would you recommend if im pretty good at shooting w/ iron sights?

this might be my last unlock, so i want to make it good =)

thanks for the replies

Id go with the L85A1 personaly its an awsome weapon up close very very fast rate of fire (your clips empty in seconds) and at a distance youll win 9 times out of ten just throw a couple of medic bags down lie down and 1 shot away everytime you get hit move to one of the medic bags you thrown down and your full health again.

From what ive seen the g36c is a good weapon to and the g3 always kicks my arse upclose becouse of the power but you cant self heal with these weapons the ability to self heal rules.

BTW can someone confirm how powerfull the jackhamer is can you 1 shot kill with it unlike the DOA 12 were at point blanc against someone with no body armour (SF) it takes 2 shots. That realy upset me all that work for my second unlock and my farts are more powerfull although like many people have said it is an improvement on the smg antitank get (in some ways) but to be honest id rather have an AK or a M16A2 for an unlock on the antitank dam no nades and a **** weapon that class realy gets the hard end of it (3 shots to kill a tank aswell).

yes, jackhammer will 1 shot kill the jokers. Also since it can be fired full auto you will not be counting shots anyway when u turn a corner. It unload the full mag in under 3 secs. Not much to worry about there.

I unlocked the PKM as first Unlock.

advantages: It is has the highest damage among all the automatic weapons, it seems pretty accurate for the first 2 shots fired, so if the target is at long range, just fire in shots of 2. At close range it is very good. Make sure you always go prone with the PKM when engaging unless they are very close to you, otherwise go prone.

The PKM can also destroy lightly armored vehicles. I've shot down choppers hovering close to the ground countless times. It has a big mag capacity. Somewere around 100 rounds in a magazine. Also to add to this PKM, the support class has infinite ammo and grenades and can give ammo to others. The infinite grenades is a BIG plus.

disadvantages: Shoots fairly slow, over heats after about 50 rounds fired nonstop. Reload time is alittle bit longer than for most other weapons. Not the best weapon for long range.

and overall, I do not regret this as an unlock. I love my PKM

Dao-12(Anti-tank unlock)

Likes - This gun simply pwns in close quarter combat. You can beat basically any class face to face. It has alot of rounds, so you wont have to worry about running out. Packs a big punch.

Dislikes - Sucks at long ranges. Also, reloading this thing takes a while.

Advice when playing - Use the pistol when shooting long ranges. This plays best on small maps, 16 sized.

I agree that this weapon is great. Best at close range, no long range. and when reloading you cant shoot even after you load one or two rounds. If you are and Anti Tanker , dont hesitate to get this weapon because its much better than the default. :)

I unlocked the L85A1. I really have to run right now so I can't type anything up about it; I'm about 3500 pts away from my next unlock and I was set on unlocking the M95. Reading this thread, I think I'll go try out the PKM in the demo with all unlocks..

1st unlock

I unlocked the PKM = teh Judge

In defence I love it, just go prone and use short controlled burst at their heads. Pops like melons hit by a sledgehammer.

You can really do a J. Rambo with this weapon and take them on solo!

Yesterday playing Oilfield something, I was in the middle base and had to fend off wave after wave just seeing my health dwindling down in every stand-off. The big magazine capacity and reload was the one thing that saved my butt that time.
Called out for assistance and medic (at least one was out there, and came around for a flagpoint at several times) but they were too busy racking up points instead.

Gosh I hate it, why not just throw a medpack on the ground when someone calls, nope, instead they buzz of in a jeep or something.

I had highest score (defend flag and teh kills) anyways.

Must say that I look forward to learn the trade of teh Engineer now, that is also an underdog deserving more credit and glory on the battlefield!

For once, I can agree with you

1st unlock- PKM

Pros- 100 round mag, more accurate then other MGs, more DMG then other MGs, Can use to snipe snipers... Been there, done THAT!!

Cons- Slow rate of fire... That's pretty much it....

2nd unlock- I'm torn between the Jackhammer for pure Far Cry nostalgia reasons, and the M95 for sniping helo pilots...

i love l85 i alsways win in an indorr situation against any class that doesnt have a shotgun, dont know why but i do, and one time i had an intire squad shooting at a sniper climbing a ladder about 150M out, they couldnt hit him until i showed up and took a few2 shots at him and killed him. the reason i got it was i was playing a demo server whith all unlocks avalible and i hit someone who was prone in the head when he was behined the east base in gulf of oman and i was on the wall on the east side of the middle base, then io knew i had to have that gun

Unlocked the M95

Pros: Very satisfying when the planets are in alignment and everything is just right when you get the one shot one kill. ... Shooting someone from a vehicle? Good luck! I guess if you can’t stand how the China and MEC sniper rifles work, and you enjoy being a sniper then unlock it. With it's slow reload time you'll be dead before you can reload in a medium range fire fight, I can usually take down two people at close range with one clip from the MEC sniper rifle.

Cons: Hit registry is very ping dependent, low ping servers and you’ll most likely hit what you’re aiming at, high ping and not a scratch.

Slow reload time, bolt action.

Enemy has to be hurt a little to get a 1s1k with this thing, otherwise its kill assist city.

Being that you’ll most likely be sniping from a distance you won’t be getting any capture points, this isn’t a fault with the weapon but something you should consider if you’re watching your rank/score.
