Exactly, and he's comparing it to real life.
If we compared all guns to real life, all underpowered since 99% are 1 shot kill in the chest. -

Not when your wearing swat armoring. It would actually take a few rounds to take you down considering most of the characters are wearing bulletproof jackets anyway. -

That's arguable. But I didn't say I didn't like it. I still use it and I use it well. I was merely stating my opinion on it being underpowered. No need to jump down my throat. -
AWM actually fires a .338 lapua magnum round.
But in any case this would go straight through a wooden crate, unless it is a crate of kevlar vests XD
MY GOD I've said at least 6 times I MEANT THE AW50 NOT THE AWM! Jesus, read the other posts. -
-salutes you for not reading the other posts- I corrected myself. I was talking about the AW50 when I said .50 calibers. There are around 6-7 AW models. Including the Arctic Warfare Magnum. And the Arctic Warfare .50. Excuse me for making a small mistake. And it still does NOT disprove my theory. Even a .338 round will penetrate armor-plating if it's fired at those speeds.
Don't argue, you will not win :P -
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.
no way that people in real life can hide and shoot inside boxes without being seen either. enough said. -
nahh i think you just suckNow 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? -
OK...gonna try and throw some constructiveness in here, give me just one second...
OK, firstly, the AWM is...well, outrageous already. I get 1-shotted from across the map from a chest shot while wearing Bulletproof Everything sort of seems unfair to me, especially if the power is UPPED on top of everything else.
Secondly, easily solved. Give AWM 80% Wallbang.
Thirdly, Blah, AWMs.
