L85a1 is pretty much the only rifle i use now, i am ranked 500 in the world with medic but over 4k in the world at leut colonal, not bad considering this is the most popular kit in the game, i have over 15000 kills with the medic Guns, (not kit) and most of those are from this gun. and hands down this thing is a killing machine, i have been called hacker soo much using it that its not funny, thats enough of your aimbot bull$hit etc, not so with other guns, its deadly, 34 damage. 3 body 1 headshot. g36c is only 27 damage and its a carbine, weaker. alot weaker. more shots to kill = more time, same with g36e. 32 damage, slightly lower but still not enough for 1 headshot kills. i have a mouse key bound to full/single that i use constantly. i even prefer it over the easiest gun in the game to use (aka the4 noob gun), the g36e, if im in the wrong firing mode i just hit a button on my mouse and leap to the ground, usually at time same time, they havent nerfed jump and change firing modes (yet), if i run around a corner i unload full auto, the thing is beyond devastating, but only if you master when to use either firing mode. i rarely if ever lose jump to prone draws against any other gun, as 2 3 at most and 50% of the time 1 shot will kill. it is usefull clearing stationary mg users, as 1 shot will kill so they can't duck and move or heal, tank gunners, and especially snipers, if i get hit, 98% its a body shot, i quickly duck heal up, jump back out and pop a headshot on that poor snipers. if i hit him i can he usually dies before he has a chance to get up. 2 quick shots and hes done. 1 if hes prone and u have a head shot. btw the ak101 rocks as well, better on auto not as good on single.
the math
headshot = 3X damage
L85a1 3 X 34 damage = 102 = 3 body 1 head.
G36c 3 X 27 damage = 81 = 4 body 2 head.
sure the g36c is fairly accurate (not as much as the G36e) but if you unload full auto in my back at more than 10 feet all i have to do is jump spin around land on belly and pop 1 to 3 shots into u that don't miss.
