Worst/least favorite weapons in the game?

[celery 8]

What are the worst or least favorite weapons in Arma 2 in your opinion?

Personally I hate getting the shotguns or pistols. The shotguns because they're slow, clumsy and their sights are off and the pistols because the vanilla versions are weak and they have a huge cone of fire. Oh, and their sights are misaligned (BIS, are you blind?). Bizon and MP5 are also pretty useless because they're just weak.

The Bizon may be weak but its one hell of a bullet hose. I'd use it any day.

The Holographic sight on the M4 is horrendous.

[Deadfast 43]

The stock M9 SD is simply useless. It doesn't shoot where you point it at. One of the reasons I made the replacement for RoberHammer's.

there is a reason armies dont use SMGs anymore

[Flash Thunder 10]

hmmm nobody mentioned the G36 with the sight that doesnt even shoot straight...

Still no fix.

I would have to say my favorite is the SCAR-H EGLM SD from RH

worst would be the vanilla pistols and the M1014.

Ehh, huh?

Meaning, you don't replace assault weapons with SMGs, but SMGs sure have their uses still...

The silenced G36C with the eotech, yeah. But I think that´s actually intentional.. the manual says all assault rifles are zeroed to 300 meters, and the C uses subsonic ammunition, at any range outside of about 280 - 320, it´s either way above or below the reticule.

I´d also have to say that the silenced M9 pistol is pretty much useless in the stock game.

My fav gun is the MK48. I guess I´m more of a "hang back and spray" person.

My favourite weapon has to be either the PKM or the PKP.

The PKP wins with its scope, but for some reason the PKM just seems a bit easier on the recoil.

I'm also a pretty big fan of the AK-107.

I think a big part of why I love the machine guns is because they pack stronger ammo and an overall bigger punch. I just don't like having to shoot people 3-4 times when you can shoot them once or twice instead. MP5 is one of my overall most hated weapons in game, except for the silenced version simply because it sounds so incredibly quiet when it fires. Overall it's not worth it though, it's like a pistol that takes up a main weapon slot. Weak and horribly inaccurate beyond 50 meters.

Silenced m4, MP5, pistols, shotguns...

[Tankbuster 1747]

The XM8 is my assault rifle of choice. Powerful and accurate. If only I took the time to learn how to use the grenade launcher on it. :)

Worst/least favorite weapons.

C´mon people. The favorite weapon topic its out there somewhere!

@topic: Pistols and the Holo M4. (because of the odd sights)

[max power 21]

Even though the silenced pistols have misaligned weapon sights, they still have a niche albeit fairly narrow.

No, there is one weapon that is useless as tits on a bull, and that is the RPG-18. Why use it when the rpg-7 is so much better in every respect? Even the m136 leaves it in the dust.

[CarlGustaffa 4]

The weapon that kills me, is the weapon I hate the most...

[Laqueesha 474]

Any default weapon with misaligned sights and low stopping power and/or damage.

Especially the M9, RPG-18 and M136 AT4.

Also, any weapon with the default EOTech sight; they are horrendus.

favorite vanilla weapon is the M4/203 Holo, it may be a pain to aim with it but it just looks so cool.

favorite Mod gun(ACE2) is the m32, i love raining 40mm on the enemy

Least favorite gun is the DMR+SMAW, cause everyone is useing it in Domination.

[Nightrain 10]

I hate the anything with Eotech sights and I don't like the AK-107s because of their sights. I like the M9 and find the Makarov absolutely useless unlessed silenced.

Favorite would have to be M4 ACOG GL or M16 ACOG GL. And maybe the DMR too, I'm deadly with that at any range.

[enad 11]

Makarov Unsuppressed or Suppressed.

Bullet hits a good inch or so higher than where your sights are.

M136 also is useless against almost any armored vehicle.

[Laqueesha 474]

Also grenades; mainly because it is very difficult to aim them in the game.

[Beagle 684]

Worst rifle in ArmA2: M16A2 M203...worst model in whole game...looks like straight out of Operation Flashpoint.

[NeMeSiS 11]

M9 silenced, even after all these months i still dont have a clue about how i should aim with it. I hope it dies.

[AnimalMother92 10]

MP5 and all the pistols are pretty useless I'd say. Might as well throw rocks at the enemy :rolleyes:

I also hope they fix up the EOTech for Arrowhead at least.

[celery 8]

The pistol inaccuracy and weakness can be cured with scripts though, which I've done in most of my missions. They're actually pretty neat with 1.5x power and proper accuracy.

[Lal 10]

It would be cool to have more submachine guns implemented and have the option to use those in the gun slot(maybe with some ammo restrictions or some balancing feature) since guns are essentially useless and the MP5 is way too weak and inaccurate to take up a primary wep slot.

This might go against realism or something though, dunno if SMG's have ever been used as sidearms.

[max power 21]

I think the M10 was an attempt at that. They had a strap at front instead of a handle so it could be drawn from a holster. It didn't really work.

Well something like the Micro-Uzi or MAC would work.
