Best BF3 weapons

It sucks IMO. the sights wobble like crazy when strafing and doesn't do enough damage.

On a similar note. Medic guns that you start off with are amazing. SV98 sniper rifle ftw and G36C or Scar on engineer. Fucking the Rex pistol takes to long between shots and 1 doesnt put them down unless headshot. PERFECT for close quarters but i mean REALLY CLOSE quarters. G17C best gun overall... Even though glocks suck.

Isn't it the most powerful handgun in the game though? The rex does 46% damage with a abdomen shot, so I would presume it's a 2 shot gun to the chest, or one to the head.

Where do you guys go for unlock progression? I'm trying to find which class i want to work on first. Right now i'm going through class by class and leveling them up pretty evenly.

Google Battlefield Battlelog and sign up there, you can track stats, see up coming unlocks, etc. I'd link it for you but it's blocked here at work.

I'm quite fond of the AK74 and the M416 so far. The AK i dont really care for, except as CJ said, its sighting system is better than the US holo.

I might try it with a heavy barrel and see if that helps its accuracy.

It'll help with accuracy a bit but you'll also have more muzzle climb so you'll want to shoot in bursts.

I hate how the whole screen zooms in when you use a magnified scope. Magnification should happen in the scope only.

Would be really cool to see a game tackle that problem without blacking the entire screen.

And yes, I know it would require the entire scene to be loaded again in another camera view, but damnit, use some dereferenced pointers.

I played all night with the A-91. I have almost got 2 service stars with it, and it easily takes on 2-3 guys. Having 31rnds and a very fast ROF is nice. I have almost unlocked the G36C, and then I will be switching to that.

When MW3 comes out, I will most likely just pick it up, and leave it in its box. This game is really just too much fun.

Haven't noticed that on Xbox but I'll check tonight. From what I remember I still have my peripheral vision I can use.

some magnified scopes go black (so no peripheral), others zoom in as far as the scope. really cant complain about quality, but that was just something I really wanted to see done.

I mostly use the IR scope which turns the whole screen IR and then the ACOG, just couldn't remember with the ACOG. I've got a red dot/holo sight on my shotguns, MK11, and SVD.

I really like the IR too for times when you are in direct sunlight looking into a dark building or tunnel. Night maps with that thing rocks.

A-91
An unusual weapon, even by Russian standards, the A-91 is a bullpup Carbine chambered in the 5.56mm NATO round, instead of a Russian caliber. Made from polymers it features a forward shell ejection system that keeps shells well clear of the shooter’s face upon ejection. The bullpup configuration prevents the A-91 from mounting either a bipod or a foregrip.

So which is it, 5.56 or 7.62? I am also pretty sure I have a grip on it. This info is from the BF3 Battlelog.
