Awm...underpowered?
Now I know I'm sure I'll be flamed many times in this thread, but it needs to be said. Simply put the AWM as it is, is far underpowered to its realistic counterpart. Currently In-game getting shot with an AWM will do 50 or so damage through a box in a chest shot from a medium-short distance.
In real life an AWM depending on the model can achieve somewhere around 65,000 PSI of velocity in the firing chamber. Recalculated into bullet velocity that is about 3000 Ft. a second. An AWM's bullets are as fast/faster than cars. It fires a .50 caliber round. The cartridge length being around 3.6 in. the width of the boxes in game would only be about 2.5 to 3 feet in width. Most of the boxes such as the ones covering the tunnel in Downtown arent of a sturdy construction.
So let's summarize this.
.50 caliber able to blast armored cars and light armored tanks.
3,000 feet a second.
A box 2 feet wide.
How exactly are these boxes slowing the bullets down enough to prevent a box kill?

this isnt a real game on real stats of the weapons lets say ak 47 he has to be op weapon but it isnt because real ak can shot trough boxes and it kills him with 1 shot.but in cf weapons arent to good and realistic.they are all nerfed so basicy all weapons are nerfed then realistic one.Now I know I'm sure I'll be flamed many times in this thread, but it needs to be said.

so dont expect it that z8 will change it because they want.just try to test some weapons.
if u see that weapon is good for ya buy it. -

Which was my point. An AWM fires at 3000 feet a second and blows holes in light armored tanks. Theres no way a box is going to stop that bullet. -

Yes I understand all that, and I have several guns -points at profile- My point was that an AWM is underpowered. I never said they should change it. -

Well what made me think of this was the thread about XM8 being nerfed. And someone had said NO gun should have 100% wall power. So I posted this. Yeah, sure, a box will stop tank piercing sniper rounds. -.- -

I think it was mod Giggletron or Greylock...but it's true. XM8 is weaker than other rifles, but stronger when you shoot thru boxes. M12s has this too. I've tested it. They also said they were gonna change the power of the XM8 so it would have regular wall bang power. -
This game doesn't have realistic box shot as we all know.
I mean a low powered xm8 can go through a box better than an ak.
Agreed, this game needs a serious revamp on the current gun system. #@$% releasing new guns. Fix the old ones for god's sake. -

Which is a good thing. But doesn't fix everything. They need to rework the way the current engine works with guns. There is simply too much no-reg/improper firing. -

That's your opinion. I personally don't like it. Seems slower and the reload is just a pain in the ahole.
Agreed I dont like it because it stays scoped in. If you could turn that option on and off I would use DSR more because I like the single-scope feature. -
Surely you jest.
Nah, actually you're right. AWM is one of few guns (if not the only?) that should be 100% no matter what.
Actually I'm surprised with the agreement this thread has gotten. Had two people actually disagree. I don't really see the other guns doing 100% though. The bullets would be slowed down just enough to reduce it. -
haha I use it too, hella awesome
