Most underrated weapons

[Hu.Z_of_PLA]

1. QBZ97: best of all spec op guns. it's even more accurate than G36C. However it has the WORST model in game, they should seriously remodel it.

2. Type 95: Never mind, I looked at the wrong weapon file. However, both Type 95 and M249 SAW are greatly underrated. They have great potential at close range.

3. SVD/Type88: they fire fast, and they are as accurate as the M95. consecutive headshot, I say.

4. MK3A1 Jackhammer: it's a diffcult-to-master weapon and certainly not the best shotgun around, however the nades and the ability to mine compensate for this rather mediocore shotgun.

5. Saiga 12K: It's exactly like the DAO12, except it reloads much faster, and plus you get mines and nade.

6. AK74U: it's actually the best spec op gun (damage wise). It has 2 more damage than the useless SCARL and 4 more than G36C, yet is MORE accurate than SCARL

7. AK47: for an small increase in max deviation (only matters if you hold down the trigger), you get a 1 point boost in damage, which makes it possible to take down armored targets in 4 shots instead of AK101's 5. It's a better gun than AK101 (better model as well), yet hardly anyone appriciate it except 2pac.

Part II:

1. All SMGs. They do just as much damage as DAO12 if you aim them well (hint: aim for the head), yet they can deal with enemy at medium-short range)

2. M16: this gun has been overlooked since the game come out. However, it's a good weapon, although G36E is proven to be better at almost all aspect. While all other stock guns have certain redeeming features, G36E is a universal upgrade from M16 and is clearly superior. This doesn't mean M16 is bad though.

3. Shock Paddle: it has LONGER range than knife. nuff said.

4. All pistols: stop reloading and bunnyhoping and pull out that pistol! they have decent accuracy even when unzoomed and 2 shots to the head can surely dispatch an enemy.

Smoke Grenades!

I rarely see anyone using them, but they've saved my (and my teammates') arse many times.

Re: Most underrated weapons

but most people don't realize that, and cry for nerfing of AK101 instead.

Re: Most underrated weapons

M16A2 - While far from being the best weapon in the game, it's a lot better than people give it credit for. Not great, but effective over a variety of ranges.

QBZ-97 - Being overshadowed by the G36C doesn't change the fact that the QBZ is the most accurate carbine.

RPK-74 - A little worse than the PKM in terms of accuracy and firepower, but I think the rate of fire makes up for it completely.

Type-95 - It's too soon to call this one, as version 1.22 has been around for only a few days, but I'm wagering all the support players will continue to neglect the Type-95, even though it's apparently a combination AR/LMG.

SVD/Type-88 - The average player doesn't touch these things after unlocking the M95, but they're not bad by any means.

Since they upgraded the SVD it's pretty deadly. It's even good for close-up no-scope battles. Plus it just sounds so funny when someone shoots a super loud sniper rifle really fast.

Re: Most underrated weapons

QBZ97, MK3A1 Jackhammer, AK74U and AK47 are definitly NOT underrated. I personally like those guns.

S12K is definitly underrate. It is another DAO really.

Why bother about using the SVD when you can use the M95? yes the M95 is not automatic, but one nice M95 shot is better than several SVD shots especially when you have such a huge recoil in that gun. There is always a very good chance that you will face an enemy soldier who lost 5% of his health for some reason.

the Chinese LMG is good one but not the best. again: why use it when you have the MG36 or PKM? it is not a bad gun, but you have a better alternative.

let's compare Type 95 to MG36, Type 95 has better base accuracy, better maximum accuracy, AND better damage/sec. I really wonder what's the point of using MG36.

Pfft! Yesterday I tried running over 2 guys with my Vodnik, missed, and hit the pillar next to them. Hopped out, turned out there were actually three of them. A nice tightly-packed squad. Seven extremely loud shots later, all three dead. The big smile that put on my face more than justifies the unlock.

5. Saiga 12K: It's exactly like the DAO12, except it reloads much faster, and plus you get mines and nade.

The Saiga's got a very small clip though, the Saiga's got nasty recoil and runs out of ammo in the middle of confrontations easily. The DAO usually just kills everyone before I reload. :P

6. AK74U: it's actually the best spec op gun (damage wise). It has 2 more damage than the useless SCARL and 4 more than G36C, yet is MORE accurate than SCARL

I think that has to do more with the fact that the SCAR-L sucks. :P

I know. Historically, the MG36 has been the most accurate machine gun (or tied for most accurate in v1.2), and now it's one of the least accurate?

Re: Most underrated weapons

I really wonder what's the point of using MG36.

The only real reason for the MG36 is the fact that the thing simply does not overheat. Its max deviation is 10 though, so if you fire for that long you're not gonna hit anything anyway. Other than that, it's always been inferior in accuracy to the PKM because of the ROF ramping inaccuracy higher, worse in terms of "surprise factor" because of the per-bullet damage, and now it's worse for sniping because its shots do so little.

Before it also had the advantage of such an indistinct sound compared to the PKM. Now with tons of people using the PKM anyway, that's kind of meaningless.

Re: Most underrated weapons

ak 47 is decent but not the best. you are one of very few who think so or use it much. obviously its better than the crappy L85, but way worse than the G36E or G3

PP 19! its insanely good, and has a way larger clip than MP5. people write it off as a MP5 with bigger clip, but i can cap like 3 guys at once and not even need to reload with it.

also the SVD beats the other sniper rifles to death with their own limbs.

and somewhat ironically, the SCAR-L, which the thread starter thought was so useless, is actually the best Spec ops gun.

ive seen and mowed down 4 guys at 50 feet with it, its insanely good. on SEAL maps i prefer it to the SCAR H, less squirrely, still kills fast.

from personal experience with the scar l, if you think it sucks its because YOU suck with anything but a pkm, or maybe ak 101 close in.

oh yeah, and the ak 74 was one of the few guns to not get an accuracy upgrade noticeably in 1.2..... as a result its basically useless, like an automatic pistol or MP5.

i played with the SAW in karkand yesterday, which i thought was the same as the mg36, but actually is way better.

man i disagree with the PKM 1.2 guy in just about every respect.

i dont know why, but i prefer the dao 12 to the SI2K and jackhammer immensely, i find both latters to be largely useless.

this is my order of shotgun preference.

Euro force shotgun
DAO-12
remington m11-87
all other shotguns
