I dont' believe it. When I unlocked the L85A1 it was GREAT compared to the others, but compared to the G36E it sucked. Now I'm being outsniped with it too. And I know for a fact that I'm a damn good sniper. Something's wrong with it.

I have gotten a few 1 shot kills to the head with it.  Dunno if they were already hurt or not, but it a pretty good weapon.

The L85A1 has such a high deviation on auto though...  If it didn't it would be the best gun in the game.

The L85A1 has damage 34, so a single shot to the head deals 102 damage, which is a fatality.

It's very good at long range in single shot.  You can use it as a mini version of the SVD-style sniper rifle.  Makes a good option for the squad-leader medic who needs to hang back providing fire-support for his squad before running in to put his buddies back together.

It's also quite good at very close range on full-auto.  Decent rate of fire and able to kill non-armoured enemies in three hits.

It does kinda suck at medium range, though.  The full-auto loses accuracy very quickly, and the single-shot isn't going to be fast enough to win against most other weapons. 

It's been like this since 1.22 anyway, don't think there were any plans (or need) to change it for 1.3.

l85 has always been able to get 1 shot kills. 
sometimes i'll have an "l85 day" and i'll just set myself up long range outside of flags get headshots.
l85 seems to only suck when you fire more than 1 bullet a second.

The L85 makes an awesome short/mid range sniper, perfect for a medic, but doesn't pack the punch or accuracy in close that a burst firing G36E provides. My third favorite gun besides the SCAR/M4. I like to be able to headshot enemies out at a fair distance, preferably before they see me (massive ping, I will lose stright up, check my stats).
