AWM vs Dragunov

Post above me is what I meant about posts without reasoning. He makes a claim about another sniper rifle (PSG) and does not say why he thinks this way. Also, can we keep the discussion to AWM vs Dragunov, since PSG cannot be bought (only available through SP crates at the moment) and people considering the two probably don't like their M700.

My 2 cents:
Dragunov:
Pros:
Higher ROF
Higher Damage (compared to M700)
*Faster Reload
*Faster travel speed
*Faster draw speed
Less identifiable gunshot

*Notice: These are Pros for the Dragunov but not Cons for the AWM, because an AWM user doesn't walk around with their AWM out (usually). A Dragunov user (from my experience) can keep their Dragunov out as a rush rifle for closer range combat.

Cons:
Inconsistent Damage
Imperfect Accuracy

The Breakdown: The most often cited reason of Dragunov-haters is the inconsistency of its 1 hit kill. Also, the average person who has used the Dragunov picked it up in Crossroads, tried to countersnipe the AWM user, and was dispatched by said AWM user.

Review:
From my experience with it, the Dragunov performs quite remarkably. Its accuracy is comparable to the M700, and thus Head shots can be made. The upgrade from the M700 is that it has higher damage and is capable of killing in 1 hit, albeit inconsistently.

AWM:
Pros:
1 hit kill to any bodypart above waist
Maximum accuracy

Cons:
Slower ROF
Slower Draw Speed

The Breakdown: AWM-haters will say that since the AWM user only has to hit them above the waist, it is a "no-skill gun" or a "noob weapon". That is the only reason really ever cited by AWM-haters, since there are so few of them.

Review: I like the AWM. It's 1 hit kill capability is great. It's accuracy is staggering. It does leave you defenseless if you are not familiar with quick-scoping in close range/ don't have a good pistol. The annoying thing is that its high accuracy is not ever really needed (except when aiming at someone elbow protruding from a window to get a kill).

Basic Knowledge:
1) The AWM is the most common gun due to its consistent 1 hit kill capability.
2) Dragunov is capable of performing 1 hit kills without a headshot. (Exact probabilities for hitboxes and ranges unknown as of now)
3) The weight of a gun is usually not considered to be a negative, since the effect can be negated by switching weapon to a knife or pistol.

Thank you for the information about the Dragunov, but are you sure? This has been a point of contention in the last forum, since no one has done true methodical tests of the Dragunov (yet).
