Dragunov vs. AWM
The AWM is probably the most used sniper in the game, besides the M700.
The AWM is heavy, slow firing, slow reloading, but packs a powerful punch.
However, most commonly overlooked is the Dragunov sniper.
The Dragunov costs 1,000 GP less than the AWM, and is one of the more despised snipers in the game.
Why?
Unlike the AWM, the Dragunov cannot guarantee one shot kills at long range. This fact alone makes the Dragunov very unpopular.
However, people often overlook the other stats of the Dragunov. The Dragunov is the fastest firing bolt-action sniper rifle, firing almost twice as fast as the AWM. The Dragunov also has the fastest reload out of all the sniper rifles, and is fairly lightweight.
So after reading this, what do you guys think? Can the Dragunov match up to its popular competitor, the AWM? Or does the AWM keep its reign over the Dragunov?
--EDIT--
Forgot to mention, the AWM is slightly more accurate than the Dragunov.

The Dragunov is a kind of sniper rifle that is outdone by other sniper rifles on all grounds.
It doesn't guaranty to kill in 1 shot. Too often it leaves you hanging with 99 damage and getting killed by counter fire. So it loses out to the AWM, the FR-F2, and the DSR-1 in that department.
But when you use it as a 2-hit-kill sniper, than its too slow and heavy, automatically making it lose out against the M700 and the PSG-1/MSG-90 rifle. -
I'd prefer a Dragunov. I don't know why, but when it comes to it, I do better with it than I do an AWM. I think it has a solid 2.0 reload, making it one of the faster reloads in the game. Man, this makes me want to repair my temp one and play some Prison.

^This. I've tried the dragunov and the accuracy blows compared to the other snipers(when quick scoping and on the run), even the recoil sucks IMO. It's just one of those middle ground snipers as frecklez said.
