Its a GAME...a game is mostly intended tobe fun, and fair in MP,not realistic.
Well, as to all the statements above concerning the G36 variants and its GL compatibility...YOU ARE WRONG...all of you.
Firstly there is a short Version, particulary designed by HK for the C.
Secondly the one posted above is a G36V(variante(without the Reddot in the Handle), with an AG36 GL handguard.
A G36Ks barrel wouldnt stand out so far.
In the Game, in HC i prefer the G3 silenced or with RD...one shot, baby!
In Reallife, id prefer an AK or G36 over any M16 variant (including M4) because Armalite and Colt dont seem to be intelligent enough to replace the Gas Piston system with the indirect Piston System after 40 YEARS!
They could make it much more reliable (As HK shows with the HK416)but noooo.
HK all the way, they make Reliable Weapons with good Accuracy...basically a mix of the reliability of an AK and the accuracy and range of a M16.
And yes, a rifle is only as good as its Shooter is, basically trained Snipers and Marksmen could hit anything, and almost any distance with any rifle, because they know Balistics.
Tho the best AR sniper Caliber is the 7,62x51 Nato as used in the M14 and G3...it has more Range and stopping power, whilst being more accurate then the AKs shortened Rounds.
And YES, the bullet kinda has something to do with the accuracy...a heavier Bullet, with less power as its meant to be shot with begins to spin in its flying path at longer ranges due to the spin a Bullet gets in the barrel...also the barrels lengh is a factor, that makes the gun more accurate or not...
Because i think even the super trained DM here would have trouble hitting a Target 800yards away with a 2 inch Barrel and a .30, but will have less probs with a 20inch longer Barrel and the same caliber.
