The M95 is a great sniper rifle for those avid snipers out there that are bored with the typical infantry engagement and want to broaden the possible targets. This sniper rifle is great for shooting drivers in medium armor transports such as humvees and vodniks, as well as shooting the occasional gunner/pilot out of a hovering helicopter. It must be said that it can be extremely difficult to shoot pilots and gunners from helicopters if they are moving or if they are hovering at long distances (roughly 500 meters or more), for the bullet drop comes into play and depending on elevation of you and the target, it can be somewhat difficult to determine the proper angle at which to fire. Unless you are an insainly good sniper and are able to use this kit to rack up tons of kills each map, you may find that this unlock serves little more than to spice up your gameplay, rather than dramatically adding to your kills.
As for the g3, I've only used this gun a couple times (taken off my enemy's dead corpses) and it seems to be a nicely balanced assault rifle. I have yet to determine the advantage of having the assault kit's body armor with this gun vs. a kit such as the special ops with the g36c and no body armor.
Conclusively, if your looking for a change of gameplay, I'd go with the M95 but if you wish to aquire a gun that will rack up the kills each round, you should probably go with the g3.
Only one man's opinion.

I totally agree with you on the M95. I'm having a real hard time getting proficient on it. I now just use my standard sniper rifles, much more effective for me. I would get the G3 so that you aren't limited to just a sniper. I regret getting the M95, I would have gotten the G3 if I can turn back the hands of time. But hey, only 8,800 points to my next unlock .

well not really, M24 is more accurate... and both M24 and M95 leave you with 2 bars health regardless of where you hit them... trust me...

Armored soldiers, such as assault, support, anti tank(all of which have african american character models hmmm...) have body armor, which reduces dmg by 30 %. Thus a M24 shot that does 95 damage would be reduced to 66 damage. Now say this armored soldier took a dangerous shortcut and lost himself 2 or more bars. The M95 will kill him in one shot anywhere, but the M24 will not. As well the M95 leaves armored soldier within one pistol shot of death, where as the M24 leaves him within 2. This comes in very handy at close range where you can pull one shot of on the guy, and if its not a headshot, quickly switch to your pistol and down him in one shot.

I personaly find no difference in the accuracy of both rifles, they can both hit target at max fov range consitently. I assume most people find it inaccurate due to its thick crosshair which can obstruct view of the target and cause one to not properly align their target and miss. Also, as i said before, there is greater bullet drop on the M95 for long range shots(200m+). Heres an old video I made showing this effect.

Here is normal speed.

Anyways I'd take an M95 over an M24 any day, it just feels more powerful and deadly to me.
