When I try to get on Nexon forums, it always takes too long and my browser times out.
I know a video game is not reality, that's beside the point. In the game, higher caliber sniper rifles are more powerful, hence a higher caliber battle rifle that has a slower rate of fire should also be more powerful. Seems to be a logical conclusion to me.
I typically use the G36 because of exactly what you mentioned. It's powerful up close and I can pick off people from long distance. However, I wanted to switch things up for a challenge. Instead of lots of CQB I wanted to fire longer distance shots requiring more accuracy, without a sniper rifle (I hate 1 shot kill weapons, I think they're cheap and ruin gameplay). But my new style of play to be successful, I have to attack a target at a distance where his higher rate of fire is useless. I'm landing shots like I always do, however the M14 simply is not as powerful as it should be. Crouched over my scope, almost every shot hits, because I can see the character lurch. However, the enemy nearly always gets close enough to land enough shots to take me out.
