5.56: Let not make agreeing a habit shall we?
I am fully certified (Marksmanship+Expert) with the M-16A3 though I prefer the red dot sight to the grenade launcher. It isn't my favorite gun though. Getting the 150 head shots was very difficult as the burst throws off your aim at long distance and the lack of a auto puts you at a disadvantage at medium to short. I died a lot with this gun. Its a jack of all trades, but it doesn't do any one role specifically well. A single-shot mode would have really helped.
I since have switched to the AK-47. Its 'OK' but its useless at long range and I really hate the iron sight. Once I certify I'll move on probably to the M-4.
The best gun I think is the M4 Carbine (I know 5.56 will be pleased), but I see so many people using it, I stay away for variety sake. The game is dull if everybody uses the same gun.
My favorite assault rifle is the M-14: though the G3 isn't bad either.
My true love though are the sniper rifles. I am close to finishing the M40A3. And I cannot wait to try the semi-autos.
Question: What is the point of the ACOG sight on a sniper rifle? It throws off your aim entire with the bobbing around. I just use the telescope.
