Re: killing swimmers.

the guys in myth busters (discovery chanel prog) once tested a 50.Cal in a pool... i had no idea that even a 50.cal was so useless in water targets in real life hehehe

Re: killing swimmers.

it's kinda funny to see ppl trying to swim away from the bullets, they know they are being shot but cant fight back... lol... sorry if i sound like a jerk, but that's really funny.

Did the bullet change directions or angle or did the water just slow it down? Thats interesting if it slows bullets down. It must act like a super shock absorber.

Re: killing swimmers.

It is deviously fun to wait until the person who's been swimming for the last 5 minutes almost gets to the ladder before you launch a grenade at them. (I call it the "Charlton Heston Fish Locator").

I was really hoping SF would add a "dive" feature where you could at least swim a little under the water and not have the giant neon "SHOOT ME!" sign over your head.

What happened?

the mythbusters were testing various firearms and their accuracy through water. Lets just say that the M1 garand went 1 foot and dissinagrated. The 50. as well. I found it hard to believe, but in real life if your 3 feet under water and a platoon of MECs are opened up on you, your completely safe!!!!

LOl same here I once caught a squad of USMC swimming towards shore in Dalian Plant, and I was a spec ops with g36c. It was soo funny watching them rush towards shore while I picked them off one by one.

Re: killing swimmers.

I like to fire wildly around them, just to make them panic a bit, and when they are close to the shoreline, I nail 'em, its pretty sick, but funny

Re: killing swimmers.

i like to tease them a bit by making sure they see me. i'll just stand there with my gun pointing at them. or sometimes i just fire few shoots, deliberately miss them. i'll wait until they almost reach the land/ramp/beach then i'll finish them .

Re: killing swimmers.

When a swimmer is in the water, he is near always below you, so if you want to get a 1-shot kill with the m95, aim for the neck, not the top of the head.
It's like shooting fish in a barrel really, because they're so slow and defenceless.
It's actually fun to pistol a few shots into the water in front of them, watch them freak out and swim around frantically while wasting their stamina, then switch to m95 and shoot for the neck.
