M16A3, M249 or M12 for ZM

I usually use M12 for ZM because of its high fire rate, tight spray pattern and light weight. It always makes me the ACE. But the problem is I have to reload very frequently and get killed during the reload.

I also considered M16A3, M249 or Gatling (if lucky enough) for more ammo, but my experience on M60 tells that a MG is too heavy and its spray pattern is horrible. Once reload, the waiting time is a nightmare.

Could you guys give me some suggestion? Please, no rifle or shotgun.

  • I have the M249 Xmas and I love it when I play ZM, you can moue around with it at a decent speed good ammo (125/125) and it has a cool skin :D
  • I rather Use The Scar L because Its got good recoil and does alot of damage .

    nar, if your going to use a GP gun for ZM it has to be a AK47 :p
  • I prefer my M249 Xmas because it has lots of ammo, a great spray for a machine gun, you don't have to wait for it to shoot like the Gatling, and you can actually walk at a decent speed with it.

    For ZM one needs to reliably headshot the enemy constantly and have enough ammo to last.
    My suggestion would be the RPK, easiest to control spray of the 3 GP MGs without sacrificing to much ammo.
    The M60 spray goes everywhere very quickly making it miss to many shots and not hit the head reliably enough for ZM.
    The M16A3 is a bit easier to control then the M60s spray but many find it hard to control, plus is does the least damage of the 3 per shot. 33 to the chest rather then 38-40 for the other two.

    I personally use Gatling for ZM. The high ammo, high damage, and easy to control spray make up for the no mobility in the short run. Has trouble with bosses tho do to the shear amount of health they have.

    Usa M249 dont use M16A3 it gives you client errors.

    Only with female char, and it should be fixed soon, if it wasn't already.

    I use the thompson in the few ZM games I play, because of the low recoil, high ammo, fast Rof, and average weight.

    i will say M16A3...the best GP gun so far for ZM trust me that gun can take down 3-4 ZM if you buy extra ammo = 100/200

    呃。。。你头像真萌。。。
  • I think the M249 Minimi is the best. IMO
    Or get a AK if you want a GP weapon.

    For ZM, it seems tempting to have a gun with lots of rounds but trust me, they slow you down way too much in the later rounds and you will have difficulty passing. I also happen to use M12s in ZM as it has almost no recoil at close range ( I don't bother shooting at mutants that are out of range and therefore are a waste of ammo), has good ROF to knockback the mutants while escaping, and the M12s is super light which is a very big plus when outrunning mutants and zombies.

    If you must absolutely use another gun, I would caution against guns with long reload times and heavy guns. The AK is not bad since it has high power and isn't too heavy for running around the map but I feel that the M12s are the perfect choice providing that you know when to shoot and how to outrun/outwit the mutants.

    **EDIT**
    A good team also helps as the noobs tend to bring all the mutants to you :/ (but noobs with m60s and the like are perfect for having mutants swarm them instead of you ;) )
  • u need a best damage on spray weapon and that on multiply enemy situation ... trust me ak does well. headshot burst/taps use on relax situation. usually u don't need to run on z.m till u get overwhelmed from 1 direction.

    Thank you. If so, may I assume AR70 can do a better job?
    It has slightly lower damage than AK47 but much less recoil.
  • but there is to much random recoil compared to few ak's ... i would assume DPS on a multiply enemys or even on spray damage ... but there are no recorded numbers on it.

    P.S FFA 15 cows *..* just to test it ... i have a dream *..*

    M16A3 + pistol like DE (DE camo, DE scope or DE gold). And don't stay in one place. 4 good players with M16A3 can play 20 rounds without any problem in Normal mode. imho
  • yes m16a3 is very good for the price but i would prefer minimi.. its lighter and easyier to control ..

    agree. but don't forget - M16A3 is a GP weapon. You can purchase it without any problem. M249 is a BM weapon. You must spend money and try to win it from lottery. Imho, it's more hard.

    Thanks. But 20 rounds are really easy.
    With a M12 I can reach the 26th or 27th round, then get killed three times during a very short moment.
    Since I wish to get two silver boxes from one game, finishing the 25th round is not enough.
  • I personally Prefer to use AK-47 and RPK in ZM

    but in your condition, I'd go with M249 :)

    dont use smgs cause late game it will be like hitting the zombies with pebbles use m249 and m16a3
  • My favorite ZM gun is and will always be da Thompson. A lot of ammo, its light, the highest DPS of all SMGs and its firing sound is cool.
  • Y U BE TYPING CHINESE
    Anyways, on topic, AK is really good once you can controll it. Strongly suggest AK Camo cuz it has a theoretical tighter spray pattern, although it uses a lot of ammo lmao
  • MP5 ADV, also m12 should not be a weapon won from zm :(
  • Ak47 Variants OR Group machine gun nests
