The only weapon I use as a Medic is the L85A1, and thats the only reason I play medic. If they put the L85 for Assault, Id play Assault.
Its down to how you use the weapon and how much practise you have with it. I prefer fully automatic weapons (which is why I hate the 36E). Earlier, I took out 4 guys in 1 clip with the L85 and a 5th with a pistol, all at close range on Wake.
Im very accurate with the weapon, standing, crouched or prone. Fair enough, at times you think "wtf, that should have hit" - but you get that with every weapon.
These arguements will go on forever, there is no 1 better weapon than another - its all dependant on the user and their own preferences. Mine, is the L85A1. Others, its the 36E. Others, the AK101. Its preference, and thats what you like to see in the game, so that it can counter for every kind of persons likes and dislikes.

Whenever I play MEC, I use the 101.

whenever Im the PLA, I use the 47.

whenever Im USMC, I have a hard time using the 16.  I do not know why, I just cant use it sometimes.  So usually I snipe or go support.

I hate that fucking L85A1, I can never hit shit with it, I find myself using burst fire 5 ft away from a guy who hasnt seen me and still dont hit him.

The AK101 is the best weapon for me.

It takes some time to get used to it. Fire your bursts a bit slower, or you wont hit much. same goes for single shot long range.

dont you people get it yet?

ITS ALL USER PREFERANCE!!! i like the L85, i like the AK-101/47, i like the M16... NO ONE WEAPON IS ANY BETTER THAN ANOTHER!

its all in the way you use it. i have killed many a DAO-12 shotgunner with a knife, while he was firing at me. is the knife a better weapon? HELL NO! enough with the stupid "This gun is better because" crap.

BTW, L85 FTW!!!

BULLSHIT

Despite your noble efforts to calm things down here, I'm going to say what I think:

the statement that all the guns are equal is utter bullshit.

The AK-101 and AK-47 are the worst at long range.
The G36e can fire bursts at a higher rate than the m16 with the same deviation.
the AK and l85 are the only ones that get one shot kill headshots.
The l85 starts spraying horribly the longer you fire. The AK's are both better at this.

Haha you should see me single shot'ing into a huge crowd with the 16.  M249s have a hard time keeping up.  I try and control my bursts, but I love full auto for the fact that I feel I have more control over the bullets when I have control over how many come out.

yeah either spray like hell or fire carefully against prone opponents I'll sometimes just aim at the head and mash the left mouse button untill a bullet hits home

if i run out of ammo and have to scrounge for a new pack and all i can find is a L85 medic pack, i go back to my old pack and just use the pistol. the L85 is a worthless piece of shit.
amen.

ive killed people at all ranges with all those guns... but it still comes down to how good YOU are while using sed weapon... its things like this that provide bad reasoning for dying. its bad workmen that blame the tools. the L85 is your tool, you just cant use it.

but, back to point, IRL the L85/SA80 would climb up badly... being made of plastic and having all the weight at the back... but i still use it and, if i say so myself, am quite good with it.

anyway, the AK-47 beats em all by far

Ok, there are 2 versions of the L85. The old, pre patched one which couldnt hit shit and did 32 damage (which is the one in that table on page 1) and the new, patched one (I think it was 1.03 patch) that does 34 damage and is more accurate.

Now, players have 100 health. So both will kill a player in 3 shots.
Headshots do x3 damage. Anything over 33 kills in a headshot. So both kill in one shot to the head.
Shooting body armor reduces damage by a third.

L85A1

34/3 = 11.3 
34-11.3 = 22.7
100*22.7 = 4.4 (so 5 shots needed to kill)

AK-101

37/3 = 12.3
37-12.3 = 24.7
100/24.7 = 4.04 (still 5 shots needed)

Thus, they have exactly the same power.

I like the L85A1, I just find it useful in most situations, for me it works.
I think its sound make it seem weak, when its not that bad.
For close combat For me it has to be the G3.
