As useful as a one armed trapeze artist with an itchy ar*e....

We have a thread on favourite weapons...

what about one with useless f'n weapons with(out) add ons?

I tried the Tar21 last night with ACOG scope - couldn't hit the side of a barn with it.. the recoil for shots at ACOG distance made the gun redundant, even with a silencer.

Also, I found the G18 on its todd (not akimbo) a pain in the hole... Love the G18s akimbo though, clears a room in half a second...

Anyone else?

I tryed the ump with thermal one game needless to say i got slapped around the place.

i'm the opposite i 'm more effective with single g18's or raffica's

I find that the ACOG in general is a bit useless. It seems to slow down the ADS animation. In general, once I have Thermal unlocked the ACOG never gets used again. And of the sights on a Shotgun are pretty redundant too. I mean, what's the point?

froog

tar21 pwns dude if you get sued to it. i never go anywhere without it.

Mithrid

The only gun worth an ACOG scope is probably the M21 because of its lack of recoil.

Needless to say, I tried to play with the F2000 with the thermal scope and got pummeled all over ):

I agree here, ACOG on anything is useless - in fact I hate it. To complete the challenges, I typically use bling ACOG+Silencer, makes the weapons at least usable.

I really dislike the single G18's, with a passion.

Got to agree, the single G18's can be frustrating, I usually use it with steady aim and blast my way to complete the Akimbo challenge to get Dual G18's.

They kick ass.

brian plank

i hate the AA-12. no range, 2 shot kills unless your right beside someone and hardly any ammo.

shay

I think the Javelin deserves a special mention.

My own experience is the Stinger takes care of Air Support perfectly well and so I prefer it to the javelin when dealing with Pave Low etc.

In relation to it being used to take out other players, without games like domination, I can't see the use.. maybe spawntrapping on big outdoor maps?



Oh - and the 2 handguns - USP.45 and M9 remind me of bits of chewed paper being shot thru a bic pen...

Yes, I unlocked the Akimbo G18's on a previous prestige and they were pretty good. I just couldn't be bothered going through the pain to unlock them though, 75 kills or something.

That and an ACR/FAL...

gimli2112

any smg with thermal is painful

I don't like the ACOG but it works surprisingly well on small maps with any sniper rifle but prefer the standard scope.

G18 single or akimbo are ok. Single pistols can be pretty frustrating.

F2000 is awesome.

The one gun I really don't get is the FAL. I accept in the right hands it is very good but it just doesn't work for me.

I'm a big fan of pistols as secondaries - pretty much instant weapon switch, accuracy over all distances and negligible recoil, great ratio of power to accuracy - but the M9 is pretty much dead to me.

Had about 1200 kills with it and loved its action, but it had to stop when I finally realised it was broken - silencer only changes the sound, you still show up on enemy's UAV.

Sometimes I dust it off, take it for a spin with FMJ, mebbe a tac knife. But it's not the same, just can't trust it anymore *sob*

shawpower

AA12?? How could you put that in this thread? With Scavenger, they are a beast. And then throw in extended mags? Unstoppable up close in maps like Vacant etc

The USP? I actually stuck that on a knifing class I setup to complete the Commando challenges (purely for the XP) and I had to actually use it a few times. Surprisingly I managed to kill the guys. You won't have a chance against strong players, or anyone with a shotgun, but I actually won a few gunfights with them. If I ever got to Akimbo with them, they're meant to be pretty decent...

krudler

ACOG for me too, the only gun I have it on is the Intervention as I much prefer it to the standard scope. The javelin is fairly pants as well, takes forever to lock on, the stinger is way better.

Anthony Walsh

The ACOG has one really good use, on Third person it makes your cross hairs a dot basically when you aim.
Any sight on a FAMAS i figured out is pointless just wasting the slot which is better for FMJ, or tubing if you swing that way

Angron

I agree on the FAL. Some may find it good, but I just can't stand the thing. And a single Ranger. I hate the Akimbo of it too, but alone it's just.. bad.

more useless... to me has to be all semi-auto short burst weapons...

I like the ACOG, have it on th M4A1 and have no problem getting zee kills.

The thermal I find useless tho on any gun. Just dont like it.

I can't get to grips with the ump, the recoil kills it for me and I don't like the iron sights. Also the AT-4 is like throwing rocks at air support. Takes 2 shots to take out a helicopter or harrier but you only get one per life (for lack of a better term). Stinger meanhwhile gives you two shots but you only need one for the aforementioned air supports


Akimbo USP's FTW tho

:eek:

The iron sights on the ump are one of the games best . Use the silencer on it ........nothing else , I find the recoil is not as bad then

I always use those two guns. They are fairly deadly when used right. Skidrow is fantastic for their challenges. I have 500+ kills on each.

Serious? On PS3 as well? I used a silencer on it from unlock to extended mags because I didn't like akimbo (at the time)

Not believing the interwebs at the time, I put on a splitscreen game on PS3 to test it out and I was a showing up on UAV even when silenced every time I fired with silenced M9 (UAV was normal, not the default 100% on, and I double-checked the USP before I quit, which behaves as you would expect making it my current main secondary).

Shít. I loved that gun.


EDIT: Definitely true. Just played a guy with blinged and silenced M9s. He showed up.
