IMO there are only two guns on that list that even are choices. The G36E and the L85A1. For one simple reason: They\'re a part of the medic kit (sure the AK47 medic rifle is also cool, but you can only get it when playing MEC).
I can see from the poll that I\'m the ONLY one who thinks the L85 is superior to the G36E, I take that to be because most of the people here like to die a lot. Sure the G36E is nice when you go around a corner, but if you\'re a GOOD medic you stay put BEHIND the front lines and help lay down suppressive fire, and the L85 can take out snipers and stationary targets REALLY well because of the nice sights and good zoom. You do NOT rush into the thick of things untill your squddies needs reviving/healing. If you do you might aswell go assault and let a REAL medic do the healing. The G36E is really only superior to the L85 on maps with close fog or similar.. Like Karkand. All others maps, the L85 owns.
I tend to agree with you there.
However, on a map like Karkand if you are working in a squad that has other medics in it, its better to get stuck in.
Most of the time, if you are killed, you get revived and you dont get teh death counted against your score. Also because you are in teh action, you get teh chance to revive alot more people, and usually end up with a pretty decent score at teh end of the round.
