Poll: Cod 4: Assault Rifle Poll

[Audemas]

M14 all the way unless I don't have it then I use the M4. I can't stand the AK-74 I don't know why but I just do.

 

[MercFox1]

G36C is one of my favorite weapons of all time (IRL, Battlefield 2, skins for CS:Source, and now in COD4), so that's my hands down winner. I think the M4 is a little better in certain areas (snap shooting, you absolutely need that next shot to hit situations), but it's a personal preference if you get down to that level of operation.

 

[sneak_copter]

AK-47 and RDS. The all-round meaning of awesome.

 

[DM.]

AK-47

Weapon of the free man.

 

[gigastrike]

I preffer to M4 to the G36, because it's more stable.

 

[Insomniaku]

I find there are a larger variety with everyone's classes in Hardcore because in normal Stopping Power is pretty much a necessity

 

[Cinder Block of Oppression]

G36C. It's just got all around great stats. Then the M16, because it's only two pulls of a trigger for a kill.

 

[ParkourMcGhee]

I like the M4. Best all-around weapon. Good for all situations.

Closely followed by

I tend to use my MP5, but if it comes down to an assault rifle, The G36C's usually the way i go.

After that the G3 for it's precise and damaging shots with minimal recoil.

I hate the 3 burst M16 since I don't feel I can control the rate of fire. The M14 Has a shite recoil and if I miss once, I'm not likely to hit anybody with it anymore. MP44 has given me nightmares trying to get those headshots.

 

[Reep]

G3 because with a silencer, it's practically a ninja/marksman sniper weapon.

Plus it looks great with red tiger.

 

[Misaek]

Ak-47 not entirely a GREAT weapon in any specific subject but its pretty well spread with being very decent at all subjects.

But probably only in Cod 4 because in most other games the Ak-47 is usually really bad (which sucks considering it's been voted by military personnel as the best all around assault rifle)

The AK-74 will always own them all. There's a reason the Afghanis called the 5.45x39 the poison bullet. It's designed to both penetrate kevlar armor and tumble once it penetrates soft tissue, causing massive tissue damage, and the super sonic cavity it creates enhances the hemorrhagic capabilities. It's diameter is similar to the 5.56X45, but it differs because of the lead plug and the hollow cavity inside it, because quite simply, the Russians like to make people bleed. I usually take the AK-47 or the AKSU-74. They may not be as accurate as the NATO firearms, but in the real world they are far more reliable, and they are aesthetically superior.

 

[7moreDead_v1legacy]

I use the M14 w/Silencer or the MP44, I am just clearly too pro for all this red dot M4/AK malarky.

On a side note I use the M60 w/grip allot too, gotta love taking snipers out with that thing!

the 5.45x39 is not a hollowpoint round. It does have is a tendancy to tumble or fragment once it enters flesh, though.

Also, it's armour piercing qualities are not because the bullet was well designed, but because the newer russian assault rifles firing 5.45x39 ammunition (the AN-94 Abakan) fire the first two shots almost simultaneously, meaning that they hit the exact same spot in the armour, the 2nd shot penetrating deeper because the armour was damaged from the first shot. If it were not for this feature, the 5.45x39 would be seen as what it really is; A good, small-bore round that is equal with the 5.56x45 NATO.

 

[SonicSoulstrike96]

Used to just use M16 with stopping power to kill people with one 3shot burst (unless they had juggernaut on). Now I'm really starting to like the G3. Greater power per shot, great accuracy, even without the red dot or acog. The single shot action really helps keep the accuracy up unless you spaz out and keep pulling the trigger as fast as you can.

The M4 had some nice automatic fire, but the damage was just not nearly enough compared to the other two I've mentioned and loses its accuracy really quickly.

 

[WeedWorm]

I am currently using the M4, mainly because, aside from the AK47, its the best weapon available to me. I tend to switch between the two depending on whether I want power or accuracy. Both weapons have good stopping power and the recoil is decent. The AK may be more powerful but just isint accurate enough for some maps. If its a small, closed map, Showdown for example, Ill go with the AK. If its a big, open map, like Downpour, Ill use the M4.

 

[Fraeir]

AK47, it's the primary weapon of my only assault rifle class, the "Eastern Assault" class
Works perfectly for the OpFor and the Spetsnaz : D
However, I do prefer to pick heads from afar with my trusty and beloved Dragunov..
Post-USSR weapons equals love. x)

 

[MercenaryCanary]

G3 because I can use it to get rid of snipers, or I can just pull the trigger really fast when someone sneaks up, and jumps out of the bushes with a smg yelling "DIE!!!"

 

[jimBOFH]

Whether I'm on the 360 or the PC, it's M16 all the way. It's the first assault rifle you get, and it's practically a cheat. You point at your target and it kills them. I LOVE IT. It has perfect aim and does tons of damage, I've never played a game with such a highly accurate, highly damaging weapon that just kills people instantly. Put some stopping power on it and it's almost one-hit-kills. You can even just fire from the hip when someone gets close and still have a high chance of hitting and killing them. I hate competitive multiplayer games like Halo and Gears of War where it takes tons of hits, even to the head, from any practical weapon to kill somebody. Unless you have a sniper rifle you can't one-hit-kill crap in those games. CoD4 revolutionizes online killing by finally giving people really low health counts.
Anyone who bitches about it is just that: A *****! I'll agree that the gun seems slightly overpowered but that's not going to stop me from using it! It's not like anyone who uses it is suddenly unstoppable, like if a whole team used it they couldn't be beaten simply because they're holding it. "Noob" is often thrown around as a name for anybody smart enough to use M16s with stopping power and grenade launchers, like their hours upon hours of playing Call of Duty 4 means nothing because the weapon they're using. They could be the first ever person who played the game but they're still a BIG NOOB 'cause they're using a good weapon. If you're so afraid of it, then use it yourself! Boohoo.
I HATE PEOPLE WHO WHINE. One guy was whining to me about the M16, and he said that if he used the M16, I would be whining just like him. I never whine. He used it and I still didn't whine because I still whooped his virtual ass.

I agree for the most part. However, the grenade launcher is an unbalanced weapon, particularly in Search and Destroy. There's a reason that it's banned in the vast majority of competitive ladder matches.

I never said it was a hollow point, it has a hollow core. Both the butt and the tip are sealed, but the core of the bullet has a hollow cavity in it, but the lead plug at the end of the round makes it butt heavy (tee hee), the pointed full metal jacket tip gives it the ability to penetrate body armor, but the heavy rear and the cavity causes it to tumble as soon as it encounters severe resistance to it's path. And the Abakan doesn't enter into the argument, the 5.45x39, while it doesn't have quite the penetrative power as the 5.56x45, has a far larger tissue damage effect due to the design. Yes the Abakan's double shot without recoil is an amazing feat in gunsmithing, but the 5.45x39 was causing a much more psychological effect on the targets more than 15 years before the Abakan's acceptance into service. You also have to consider the fact that the Abakan is limited only to special forces teams, and the Russians are still using the AK-74 and the AKM designs as the common service rifle since the Abakan is far too expensive to produce en masse, the Abakan has never entered any serious conflict on a large scale. The argument is based on first hand evidence from the Afghani's fighting the Russians armed with the AK-74 in 1979. The round is extremely well designed and it strikes the perfect balance between armor piercing ability, and massive tissue damage, trauma, and bleeding. It can't pierce kevlar as well as the 5.56, but it makes up for it with it's ability to keep a person down.
