I'm really getting into this groovy gun now. I used to think it was a wimpy sniper rifle, but it's an all around good gun. I use it without scope with great effect cause I can shoot pretty fast with it. And it doesn't kick back much which makes it deadly for head shots up close. And of course as a sniper it will work if you pump enough lead into someone. I dunno why, but I'm getting plenty of kills with it in short range combat. Might be because I have to actually aim rather than just release a hail of bullets. Comments on this gun?

I think it's sniper mode isn't realistic, I find that if I miss with the first shot I can just start clicking like crazy and generally get the kill anyway.  But it is nice to have a gun you can snipe with and also fire pretty fast when you need to. [AGB]BadReligionPR

Depends on server setting for kickback. Sometimes it doesn't kick and you can get several shots for a kill, but other times it kicks and you can't get more than one without resteadying and shooting again which basically means no kill But from medium distances forget the scope and wail away. For some reason the bullets are more powerful this way, cause with the scope from a distance they don't do squat even with a head shot. Because of the lower kickback it's better for kills at short to medium distances. The regular M16 sprays all over while shooting rapidly with the m16 with scope you can hit your target again and again.

Sometimes it doesn't kick and you can get several shots for a kill, but other times it kicks and you can't get more than one without resteadying and shooting again which basically means no kill AFAIK, there's no way to set a different setting for what you're talking about here. Then it would be a mod changing the carachteristics of a weapon. There is something called backfire or admin.kickback, but this has nothing to do with with what your weapon is doing. Except if it's shooting at friendlies. Then the server kicks you back, how hard is what this setting is for.

It might be something to do with the angle I'm standing on or something else. Sometimes you can just pump shells away with no change in the barrel movement other times it jumps all over. Which reminds me, shooting any weapon from the #2 position of the jeep is excellent. No kickback at all. Great for the M60. Don't tell anyone though, it's our secret
