PSG, MSG, SL8... failed sniper?
Comments

It's seldom to see someone using a PSG, MSG or SL8 in game.
Personally I don't like any sniper which cannot make one hit kill on body.
Does someone really like it? If yes, how do you perform well with it?
M700 is the best, nuff says. -

There are a few of us who prefer the lighter, faster firing semi automatic sniper rifle over the heavy AWM or DSR-1. And to perform well with it means you need to learn how to aim for the head.
Personally, I see the M700, PSG, MSG, and the SL8 as the real sniper rifles, rather than a quickscope cannon. Quickscoping has nothing to do with sniping. The scope is only used to bypass the inaccuracy of a scoped-out sniper rifle, and not actually to aim. And thats why quickscoping wouldn't work with a sniper rifle that isn't a 1-shot-kill to the body, and why not many use it. -
Although I do have an AWM, If i see a dragonov on the floor or even a fun one, like the (...It looks bulky but not one hit) Then I'll use it. Mainly to see the prison noobs rage, but it's fun. However, most people are lucky enough to place one shot only on anybody, so, why have the risk of trying to get two shot or strain to get a headshot?
Personally, I would love to get a draggy, but in actual games, such as columbia and egypt (sniper) You kinda have to have an AWM if you want to get a good score. This is not because we're all nubs, is just that when you deal 97 dmg on a player when they're killed the next shot by a m16....
It makes you rage. -

Now kindly,
in battle between 2 good players (1 with awm/dsr, 2 with any 2-hit sniper) wins more times gamer 1. not IMHO -

That doesn't make the first guy good, that just makes his weapon a noob-tube. Its like putting a M12s user up against a UZI user.

PSG-1 Can only be gotten for temp right now (besides a few very lucky players to win a perm version a long time ago), so it is expected to be rare.
MSG90 is a crate gun that not many go for right away, so that is why it is rare.
SL8 just got released and cost 80 coupons. Not many people have that many coupons to begin with and many would choose something else over a sniper.
I'm saving up for a SL8, only 8 coupons away.
The VSK was enjoyable even tho it was hard to use and the SL8 looks like it plays nearly exactly like the VSK (minus the silencer). -

Don't underestimate the 20 ammo mag.
Those extra 10 shots really help with shooting down groups of targets.
Plus it shoots slightly faster then the PSG-1 RD and does slightly more damage per shot.
SL8 is a guaranteed 2 shot on all body parts at long range well Psg-1 RD becomes 3 shots with feet at long range.
I've used both and I prefer the SL8 over PSG-1 RD. -

However, since they are both 2-shot-kill to the body, the slightly higher damage doesn't help you a lot, unless you are indeed aiming for the legs. -

Not really aiming at the legs but more like that what happens.
Target jumps right when you fire and hit the legs.
The inaccuracy of the 2 shot snipers end up being a leg shot instead of a stomach shot.
It happens from time to time. -

Not that I disagree with your opinion of the PSG-RD being better
But sometimes armor is a factor and damage can change that outcome a tiny bit in such regards. -

It happens from time to time.Not enough for me to consider getting a 2-hit-kill sniper that is almost as heavy as an AWM. The whole point of a 2-hit-kill sniper rifle is to be more mobile than with heavier 1-hit-kill sniper rifles. The SL8 fails to deliver in that department.[MOD]Talonblaze wrote: »Not that I disagree with your opinion of the PSG-RD being better

I always thought the MSG was the powerhouse of the 2-shot snipers.

Armor only affects the chest/back hitbox.
Does nothing for legs or arms/hands.
In fact if you suspect a target has armor is is usually more damaging to aim at the arms then the chest. -

It was the fact that in the battle of the two snipers being 2 hit kill to the chest armor might be a deciding factor in such regard. Due to the difference in power.
And you won't suspect an opponent has armor until you are the unfortunate sap to realize too late and die from such mistake. -
I always thought the MSG was the powerhouse of the 2-shot snipers.It is kinda like the old PSG-1, that was in Alaska. But it has massive recoil compared to the PSG-1 RD. The PSG-1 RD puts 10 rounds more closer together than 3 rounds fired from a MSG90.

i personally like the vsk and the psg-1 cuz they shoot fast and are light. awm if i miss i got to go out of scope to pull the bolt then back into scope which thhrows my aim off and i have to retarget. havent tried the msg90 yet cuz no one has it but it semi auto so i assume ill be good with it. thing i like about semi autos is io can rapidly pull off three shots in the time it take a awm user to pull one.

I like the SL8, and if I owned it I would use it more than my AWM-Camo. If you aim at the right place with your first shot, the second is kicked right into a headshot. And if it happens to kick somewhere else, it still hits the body and kills the other player.

not just the damage they cant hit the target in one of godsginman videos he shows how terrible they are in scope and miss SO many times...
I don't really see Gods using 2 hit kill snipers often, but they have less accuracy than the others. So everyone is bound to miss a few times.
Also, it's GodsGunman, spelling is something you need to work on. -
Hmmm... In my opinion, whenever I used the PSg-1 or MSG-90 best was when I was covered. They can be used offensively, but later in the game when most players have taken some "don't care" damage (fall damage slight nade brush, etc.) But if I had cover with the MSG-90, I would wreck them b/c my team would have damaged them most of the time already. Also, they're good for camping spots where its harder to get hit (B Stairs in EE) They also do well against multiple charging enemies.
