BF2S Forums Which gun damages enemies fastest?

i hate the M249 SAW, the RPK and PKM are both much better. I hate it because whenever i seem to use it, i prone, start shooting, and not one bullet hits the target. The PKM is brilliant because it has such a slow rate of fire that you can fire it one shot at a time (more accurate) and the RPK is good because it seems to be so accurate when i use it (once i called someone with one shot to the head at about 100m away!!! The MG36 is a good gun but i do not use it because it does not sound powerful, it sounds a bit poofy, and therefore misses the point of having a fuck off huge gun with bullets bigger than most guys dicks!!
That is all.



Please +1 me

Indeed. The m249 saw, in the right hands, owns any of those LMG's. And please don't ask for karma, cause you wont get any that way.

hmm...

speaking of speed it would be the furious speed of one .50 cal round leaving my M95 muzzle, directly head-bound to someone who just stood still an instant too long...

speaking of damage i would go for the russian-type LMGs.
love the moments when a squads pops in front of my sights because they respawn on the squadleader (honorable, but sometimes deadly...)

A good Sniper can easily take out a 100% healthed enemy with one headshot as soon as he's spotted him. Much more effective that blasting a gun if you are looking for cover.

More like one l96a1 round. Far far more accurate (excluding crosshairs) and does the same damage to a person as the m95.

That's not really the case unless you're only talking about headshots. There are dozens of prior threads that cover this but check the Wiki for the basic info: http://wiki.bf2s.com/

If you are shooting people and dont have the l961 use the m24.

If they're available. No option in SF sometimes in case you didn't know.

M95 is pointless unless you like taking out chopper pilots.

The M95 takes all classes, armoured or not, down to 2 bars if you don't get a headshot (stupid BF2 problems ignored). The M24 and L96A1 cut armoured classes down to 40% health with a body hit.

So there's a significant advantage for combat snipers in the M95, if they can get used to it, since it makes for easier rifle/pistol combos... bread and butter up close for most CQB players. Plus of course the uniform high wounding is useful in a multi-person firefight to get more kill assists on any class of enemy.

To be precise; the M24 & L96A1 take a Class wearing body armor down to 37.3% health.

The damage done by the .50 rounds (M95) on targets wearing body armor is different from the .308 (M24 & L96A1) or small arms as they are called in the material_damage chart ...



... the M95 always does 0.5 x 190 = 95 damage to an Infantry target, regardless of body armor.
... the M24 & L96A1 do  1.0 x 95 = 95 damage to an unarmored Infantry target
... the M24 & L96A1 do  0.66 x 95 = 62.7 damage to an armored Infantry target

Always wondered if 40% was a rounded figure. Thanks, good to know.

Same here, until [DUCKS]Black_Duck_1 made an update in his thread about the material variables

Oh wait, you're wrong. Maybe before (repeatedly) flaming someone with "facts", you should check your so-called "facts", hmm? (Don't take me too seriously - after all, wrong > right.) Any gun with a damage of 100/3 or more  will kill in a single shot to the head. In other words, the...

hold up don't headshots quadruple the damage?

RPK!
I hate the people who can actually use that one. If one support guy is lying on the ground aiming at you and you go prone too you'll have a big chance of losing if you don't give him a headshot really fast ( M16A2 ) and since the M16 doesn't kill people with 1 shot it's kind of annoying.

oh yeah, and my two cents are as follows:

i understand the sentiment of "unlocks are for nubs" and i also agree with the "you rape with unlocks so go for it" mentality.  if you feel that unlocks give you an advantage, then by all means go for it, but there is no need to prove 1337-ness by using stock guns.  personally i prefer the stock guns to unlocks, mostly due to the feel of the stock weapons.  also, in the long run you can't really tell which set is better because i've seen guys tear up servers with both stock and unlocked guns.
