Double tap.

In long
Let's say double tap doubles the speed of firing (which I think it does, not sure).
Let's also say that stopping power doubles the power of your bullets (which I think it does, not sure).

This makes double tap stupidly.... stupid.


Think about it logically, in a close quarters situation, you want to get as much damage on the target as possible.

Now assume the gun is pointing directly at the target, a meter away (in other words, not one chance of missing, even with one bullet.)

Now assume it will take four bullets to kill the target.

If you fire two with stopping power, the target will die, and say it takes half a second.

If you fire four with double tap, the target will die, and it will also take half a second.

Fair enough. Although you are now 2 bullets more down with double tap than with stopping power.

Therefore I determine that stopping power is, infact, more useful than double tap, as you save more ammo. Also you have to hit the target with half as many bullets.

Prove me wrong.

Double tap + M16 is a must. I find that the regular M16 fires too slow.
Double tap + M249 is wickedly awesome as well.

double tap is a must on the m-16, but it kills the accuracy on the other guns

double tap + steady aim + p90 + hardcore is super epic killing machine.

Stop saying what works and prove me wrong, bitches.

Stopping power and steady aim would be much better, same effect, less ammo.

The most worthless perk is eavesdrop.  It's bad enought to have to listen to your own team exchange useless information about their "skillz", but listen to both teams at the same time...why bother?

You are assuming all your bullets hit in each hypothetical.

Proved you wrong TBH.

I mostly agree with KEN.

Use Stopping Power if you're confident in your aim, and Double Tap if you're not.

If you suck at aiming you can get more bullets out and a higher chance of hitting them.

It doesn't do anything to the G3, shotguns, or sniper rifles.
Only automatic and burst weapons.

And you can't have both double tap and stopping power. It's either one or the other. If you trust your aim then use stopping power.

Still, double tap on a p90 or m60 is always

Actually Double Tap on the pump action shotgun (the one that you have to cock after every shot) actually speeds up the process of cocking the weapon. Yes you can get more shells into them more quickly.

Sleight of Hand on the M1014 is still better than the W1200 with Double Tap. You can load and fire them almost as fast as firing them with a Double Tapped W1200.
