exactly the M16A2 works great for me on spotty servers the problem is it takes way to many rounds to drop someone with it, started using the M416 as its full auto but it jumps around a bit to much for my liking, i prefer short burst precision and the M16A2 does it the AN94 is good but i just dont like the feel of the weapon in game, im a shotgun man you know that all to well kurgan so me being forced to use weapons i dislike really just is a downer for me, well that and the entire constant crashing or hardlocking due to my power issues.
best weapons for me so far
M16A2 - its accurate perfect fit since i love the 4x scope its bullet deviation is easy for me to compensate for
40mm shotgun - i suck at aiming the 40mm nades there just not my cup of tea, so the 40mm is my brush sweeper i run with it equiped at all times because if it misses at close range im already dead
M9 - good backup alot of bullets i use it not to kill but make ppl back off its rate of fire and capacity mean if im using it there already wounded.
M93R - good close range great for scaring someone due to how many rounds you can offload quick, also with careful aim it can be used at medium distance and still get kills due to 3 round burst fire.
Saiga 20k -hits harder then the USAS full auto shotgun same clip and if your good with your fingers it fires faster then the USAS, so better damage faster rate of fire my Kills with this weapon demonstrate that with it being my only Platinum weapon.
not a big fan of LMGs Assault rifles or sniper rifles they just dont fit me personally, sadly the game hampers shotguns to the point im forced to use them. I understand supposedly its for balance reason but i find its just cause DICE sucks ass, 870, SPAZ, Neostad, Saiga20k, and USAS auto all use the same size round and at short range it will be just as devastating no matter which one you pick, sadly the first three are as TLM calls them 1 hitter quiters if it lands close range it kills you sadly with hit detection for me its seldom that good, and at close range and due to the latency checker the Saiga and USAS take 3-4 rounds to do the job same as an 870 etc even tho the rounds are the same, overall poor form by Dice, that said.
for sniper rifles
GOL- is a good gun i enjoy using it at mid range, its highly accurate does its job
for long range
M95 - not as accurate but due to the scope itself i am better able to judge the shot and score hits. its a personal preference thing,
in general my prefered load out
Assault: SAIGA 20k + M9 or M93R + C4 the shot gun eats ammo so assault is a natural fit c4 takes on tanks ill also use the same kit when using Engineer, just rockets instead of C4
If im on atacama or any map that has open space i switch the saiga for the M16A2 or M416, with 4x scope
