AWM vs DSR-1
Comments

Ok.... I will give you my opinion on what I see the 2 snipers to be.
AWM: Good precision rifle. It is quicker to load up and shoot, however the cost of doing so is forcing you to zoom out after every shot which is annoying to me. With the double scope, it allows you to be more precise and get a good lock on the opponents as well as having a better "loose" feel to aiming giving you more control.
DSR-1: Good Precision turret. It's a 1.5 scope so you have to wing it when you're confronted close up, the zoom-in isn't as fast as the awm's so quick scoping is possible but not as effective. Since it is semi-auto, you never have to zoom out after any shot unless it's the last shot from the clip. The zoom mobility is a little more tight or slower than the awm's which allows you to scan areas and be more precise without jumping the trigger. The other major downfall is the amount of time it takes to bring the gun out and reloading it. It's a good, long range weapon and the closer the opponents are, the harder it is unlike the AWM where you can just quick scope people from 2 feet away.
DSR advantages:
1. 1.5 scope
2. semi-auto
3. No auto-zoom out unless it's the end of the clip
DSR Cons:
1. Long animation to bring out
2. long animation to reload
3. 1 scope
AWM cons:
1. 2 scopes
2. quickscope ability
3. more mobile
4. quicker reload
5. quicker bring out animation
AWM cons:
1. zoom-out after every shot
2. looser scope making it easier and harder to aim precisely.
You choose which one's out-weight the cons. In any case, there's always the range. -
If you are an offensive sniper(storming yourself), pick the AWM. Lets you to QS easily.
If you are a defensive sniper(staying at a site), pick the DSR-1. Rapid Fire for disposing of a bunch of enemies or firing down a straight.
If you are a supporting sniper(doing a bit of both, attacking but behind your own teammates), use either.
I would use the Awm for more versatility. -

Well I think vMiami explained it all!
OT: I would say AWM cus it´s a great sniper for any kind of situation.
I don´t care if the DSR doesn´t have auto-zoom out(which is a good thing), AWM requires a little more skill. -
In my opinion the AWM wins even though it isn't semi automatic. Why else would you see it more often than the AWM? Or any other AWM for that matter. The DSR just feels too slow for me..even though its supposed to fire faster. The reload also bugs me even though its the same as the AWM.

Great reviews. Everything I would say are in these two quotes.

Personally I like the DSR amidst this storm of AWM users that CF has. It has a very definite speed increase for me, and as I play more defensively with a sniper, I prefer the DSR's fast shot. The only thing that I like better about the AWM is that it's lighter. I have both, but find myself using DSR more often. Yeah.

Smily yhu failure! -
OT: This thread has been made too many times. Although I haven't seen one of these for a while now, use the all-powerful SEARCH button next time.
Already made... give me some key words for search, AWM DSR compare VS powerful, i found nothing coz search tool says that too general keywords.
Thx to you all, i think i'll DSR, thx again ^^ -
The title is clear, Ive been hesitating buy those 2 "best" snipers in item shop. Which one is better and say why plz
PS: I dont want flood saying "AWM is so coool and is the best oneee". I just ask people to compare those 2 snipers. THX a lot !!
AWM:
Has great power - 1 Hit Kill.
Is Heavy (Just Like DSR-1)
Very Accurate.
Can zoom in twice, unlike the DSR-1, you can only zoom once.
DSR-1:
Great Power - 1 Hit Kill
Is Heavy (Just Like AWM)
75% Accurate
Can only zoom in once.
It's automatic. Well not AUTO automatic. Automatic as in if you click it fast it goes (pow, pow, pow, pow) with a 1.7 second delay. 1.3 second delay if you press 'Q' twice. Just like the AWM. But AWM has faster delays.
AWM is best for me, but I get more kill streaks with a DSR-1.

i like the fact that the awm you have to zoom-out after every kill, i find that the dsr limates your HUD unecarally -
I used to be a Ninja with the AWM but now that ive bought and gotten used to the DSR im not the awm is easier to use because when you get good you can just swipe and click, killing either pros or noobs, the DSR's slow scope makes it impossible to QS pros, yet I still enjoy sitting at A in Port SnD and dropping whatever noob isnt paying attention to whats around the corner. DSR is a anti noob turret and awm is a easy to use precision gun

If its ur first time getting either one: Start off with awn cuz youll want to have a good sniper but upgrade to dsr when you can. -

lol its a sniper rifle, you shouldnt exactly be moving with one in the first place :P and if you are moving, a real sniper knows how to move regardless of weight; and the dsr is way easier to handle, virtually no barrel, no scoping is 10x better and you stay in scope. If ur sniping with an awm and you miss ur first shot ur pretty much screwed if the other sniper has decent aim but with the dsr you at least have a chance from the bolt action.
