the m16 becomes almost recoiless 🙂 and in a game where its about putting more bullets into the enemy in the same amount of time it helps. its not great at range though so it needs to be weighed up on some maps
Last night I spent some time with the G3A3 with the heavy barrel, ACOG sight and fore-grip. Now this weapon is a real marmite rifle, as while it has the highest damage of all the assault weapons it also has some serious vertical climb and a very slow rate of fire. I usually use either the M16 with laser sight and heavy barrel or the AKE with a similar set-up but noticed my accuracy and distance kills were suffering due to my excitability when spotting an enemy.
When I used the G3A3 it forced me to slow my whole medium to long distance game down quite a bit, and because accuracy is not really where I score points, it allowed me to make kills where I’d normally spray around the enemy.
The other downside is the 20 clip mag, but I personally have a habit of changing mags after every contact so it’s not so much of an issue.
The G3A3 has been criticised for its ability at close quarters, and I would agree that it’s not as capable due to slow rate of fire as some weapons, but if you get (in hardcore) 3-4 rounds centre mass your opponent is going down. I tried coupling it with an underslung shotgun for close range clearing and it worked very well indeed.
At distance this weapon is unrivalled outside the sniper rifles (In real world the PSG-1 is basically a modded G3A3) I played a round on normal mode with the CwG guys and could’t believe the kills I was making. I’m sticking with this for a wee while, and see how it gets on.
To unlock you need a bloody HUGE co-op score, but it well worth it if you play any ground class on the larger maps like Caspian etc..
Coop score has been nerfed to the ground now iirc. When i unlocked them all on the ps3 it was done in no time.
Not sure I could manage this myself, but check this out Ben.

G3A3 with 3.4 scope, heavy barrel, and bipod (may as well).
I would imagine this would be an excellent gun for that misnamed mode you call “hard” core. If accurate (yea ok, a big if for HC players), you can achieve one shot kills to the head with this and 2 shot body kills.
Incidentally Matimi0 is another excellent youtuber to subscribe to.
I’ve been using that today with the underslung shotgun and it kicks arse! Feels a lot like the SKS but with less recoil.
Yea I noticed that today and i’ll be giving it a go fairly soon to complete one of the unlocks, the only thing is that you lose your med pack or something by eqipping it don’t you, and that’s a huge loss.
Yeah you do but its not too bad if you have other medics on your squad. I was using the Mass just for the assignment at first but decided to keep it as i found it really useful. The G3 with the scope sucks up close so its nice to have that as an option.
I suppose you could try one of the auto sidearms instead and keep the medi pack.
Even with medics in the squad I think my play would suffer using it, but I noticed you got quite a few kills today with the setup so i’m at least not as worried by the assignment now. If you’re using it in squad i’ll try and keep you supplied with health packs when not needed by myself though. Oh and I know you hate it, but jump on ts when you’re playing mate, we don’t bite…talk a lot of shit mind you. And do you want those xdc tags yet (women love them)?
