The M60 fires the 7.62 X 51 NATO (I think your confusing it with that round the M1 Garand fired) The PK fires the 7.62 X 54 R The M16A2 should be more accurate than the AKs. (in real life 14" grouping at 400m is a lot better than any AK could do) The AKs shouldn't have burst mode and the AK 47 should have less effective range ( 250-300m, that 7.62 X39 wasn't that good at ranges) The AK 74 should have a higher velocity, but do the least damage. 5.45mm act like soft nose bullets and do a lot more damage to unarmoured targets. Because it weighs alot less than the M855, it is more affected by wind and has a lower effective range of about 400m, but its still better than the 7.62 X 39mm. The Steyr and G36 should be about the same as the M16A2. 5.56mm rounds tumble inside the target causing nasty wounds inside. The Steyr should be the most accurate as it is a Bullpup and so the barrel can be much longer in a shorter gun. The G36 doesn't have much of an advantage over the M16A2 apart from the 1.5X scope. The M16 though can be outfitted with an M203. Rifles firing the M855 (SS109, 5.56mm NATO) are all capable of hitting things quite effectively at 500-550m. FN FAL and G3 should be powerful and accurate, but uncontrolable in full auto. M60 and PK are very effective weapons out to 1000m. In real life the PK is a far better weapon of the two though. Both the M21 and the SVD are good weapons to 800m or so, but as the M21 is essentially an M14 match, its not much better than any of the 7.62mm Assault rifles. The SVD was designed for battlefield durability more than accuracy. So range wise. 5.45 X 39mm : 400-450m (AK-74, AK-74 SU) 5.56 X 45mm NATO : 500-550m (AUG, G36, M16A2) 5.56 X 45mm M193 : 400-500m (XM177E2) 7.62 X 39mm : 250-300m (AK-47, AK-47CZ) 7.62 X 51mm NATO : 600-1000m (G3, FAL, M21, M60) 7.62 X 54 Rimmed : 800-1000m (SVD, PK) 9 X 19mm Parabellum: 50-200m (Glock, 92FS, CZ75, MP5 SD6) 7.62 X 25mm : 50-150m (TT-33, Skorpion) Accuracy wise MP5. Great at closer ranges, but it struggles at longer ranges due to its rounds going at subsonic speeds. AK-47. Poor groupings at longer ranges, cross between an AR and an SMG for range. Recoil higher than the .223s AK-74. Decent groupings at 350-400m or so. High velocity and low recoil make this an effective weapon even in full auto. M16A2, AUG, G36. M16 has a recoil buffer, G36 is unlike most other HK weapons and doesn't have a roller locking blowback system, It uses a rotary bolt system like the M16. All should be about the same. XM177E2. Due to the older and lighter M193 cartridge, the XM should be more affected by wind and because it is a carbine, it should only be effective out to 300-400m. Slightly higher muzzle velocity though as it has a shorte barrel. Very Controllable in Full Auto. FN FAL and G3 should both be on par with the M21, without the scope, but with full auto. The G3 uses the delayed blowback systemand so has a very slightly slower rate of fire, 600 RPM (the same as the AK47 and XM). Because of the system the Muzzle climb should be less than the FAL. Both should be very good powerful weapons out to 600m M21, SVD. The M21 takes advantage of a 20 round mag and an ART sight, but less power than the SVD. M60 and PK. The M60 has a slower ROF, 550rpm, the 7.62 Nato is a good GPMG round and so is effective out to 1000m. The PK fires the slightly larger Rimmed cartridge with a higher rate of fire. Clearly superior over the M60. The West have got the better more accurate Assault rifles. The sniper rifles are equally matched. The East have superior Support weapons.

Right I have made an M14 with a modified M21 model, but the muzzle flash stays there all the time. I can remember someone saying that you have to put something extra in the Config file, but I cant remember what. OK I have now sorted it by looking at other peoples addons.

I was playing another FPS the other day and then played OpFlash. I realised that the normal view is slightly zoomed and you have a narrow FOV in comparison. If you press the KP minus key it zooms out to what I call a normal level. Maybe there should be an option in the Difficulty settings that changes between normal and enhanced soldier vision.

The AK series don't have Burst features in real life so you should feel priviliged. G3s and FALs dont, Hell the Brit version of the FAL did't even have full auto. With any of the M16s there is only enough room on the selector switch for 3 settings, one of these is Safe. You get a choice with the M4 and the M4A1 between Burst or Auto for the 3rd setting. I believe all US military versions of the MP5 don't have a burst feature because of an accident with a SEAL and an MP5 equipped with a burst feature. The Steyr AUG doesn't have a selector switch as it has pressure sensitive trigger (half way back for single, all the way back for auto.) If anything should be done with the burst features, the AKs should have them removed.

I prefer the wider FOV as I feel more secure in Close Quarters and it seems more realistic. Unfortunatley i can not just tape down the key as it does not allow me to move forward and strafe left at the same time, it just makes a wierd bleeping noise. Also only make it an option in Cadet mode, not Veteran.

I think all the engagment ranges are too small, bar the MG and the Snipers. Id say 400m or soinstead of 190 or whatever it is.

BIS seemed to cope well enough with the AUG, maybe just moving it back more till its on the pistol grip. Anyway its a very good weapon, the sound, scope and model are all perfect its just the textures on the grips, maybe if you make it kinda the same as the BIS AUG. They are nearly the same colour in real life. Also what about the SA80 with iron sights ? Cant wait for the LSW

Glock 17 : 17 round mag CZ75: 15 round mag M92F: 15 round mag AK-47/74 dont have burst fire modes Skorpion and Mac 11 ROF is way too low Rename Hunting rifle Remington M700 Add sights to the M203 and BG-15 etc. etc. etc.

I hated the Resistance M16, XM sounds so much I edited the Sound PBO so I have the original sounds now and its so much better

Thats superb! I always used to hate been an officer because of the cap or beret. So could you do stuff like add pistols to the other 2 campaigns and stuff like that

G3 and FAL pics still mixed. G3 and FAL eject pistol sized empties G3 and FAL have no tracers FAL is spelled FALL in full auto MP5 and Bizon ejects rifle sized empties Hunting rifle fires tracers M4, XMS with mortars look like M16s (this has been here since V1.0 Ingram and skorpion ROF is too slow Pistols still have wrong capacity (I was suprised to see that the revolver had 6 and not 5 or 4 capacity) AKs still have a burst feature (which they shouldn't, so why not give the M16A2 a full auto setting then? get the point?)

Right heres something to do and it normally produces some amusing results. Go on Everon to Grid Ref. "Ec56", you be a black op with one teammate so you can go into tactical view and make a civy vehicle come from the north, bikes are the funniest though, then when you are playing plant a satchel in the middle of the road and move away so you dont get caught in the blast, go into tac. view and when the vehicle goes over the bomb (about 1-2m after) set it off. The vehicle will fly, depending on the weight, A bike managed to take out 3 trees 200m away before stopping, while a bus simply goes up GTA3 stye.

The HK pack has something similar for its G8 , it fires belts, drums and mags, each has a different model too, its very good.

Agree with you all, I have played it at least once a week since it came out, normally its more than once a week, i also played MOHAA and i thought it was crap, i got bored after 4 hours (thats how long it took to complete). Same with SOF2, but it lasted a bit longer (1 month). OFP rules!

LOL yeah you could kill people with the flares launched from the grenade launchers.

looks fine to me

Yeah cant wait to play it on full view distance, with very high terrain detail and with 200 fps

I know in real life the AK-47 fires a 7.62 X 39mm round and the AK-74 fires the 5.45 X 39.5mm round, but in game what is the difference between the 2 types, I personally can't see anything different like recoil, ROF, damage, accuracy they both seem the same. Actually though this has just turned into a thread about why the early models of the M16 cannot effectivly fire the new M855 cartridge
