What weapons can you use well enough to take out an enemy or at least defend yourself from a similarly armed opponent?
I am a good shot with a 5.56 AR-15
and a .50 BMG single shot rifle.
I could also fend someone off for a little bit with a rapier.
Your turn!
Are you a veteran? If yo are I can see why Taliban turn to prayer when guys with .50 rifles and FREAKING RAPIERS are hunting them. Good hunting.
PS: I live in the UK = no weapons AT ALL! The few guns you do have if we ever actually do have access to if they are ever treated AS weapons then they'll be taken away. Yes, it sucks incredible amounts of sweaty anus.
But for videogames? I am most proficient with "unusually powerful and accurate pistols", especially those with un-capped fire-rate.
No I am not a veteran. I am a 22 year old student with a love for guns and swordsmanship. I own both of those guns and a few more. I am currently saving up for a rapier and a 1911 Colt .45
Hope you get the time and space to fire them, here in the UK gun laws are so restrictive, the culture so elitist and as a result everything to do with it so expensive (no to mention owning a gun gives the government the right to treat you like a criminal on parole = no privacy, open to random searches and surveillance without warrant). So my gun knowledge is entirely academic but from what I have heard the AR-15 great rifle and an expensive one too... I hear even more expensive to run, ammo prices approaching a dollar per round.
But personally I'd be more interested in a Kalashnikov type rifle, in 5.56mm or 5.45x39 with custom optical sights though I'd never bother with all that picatinny rail stuff... just seems to be added weight, complexity and things to snag. The appeal is the simplicity and utility. AR-15's upper + lower receiver offers great customisation but the gas-system apparently makes the bolt and receiver very hot (not to mention dirty) which isn't good for on the spot maintenance. Plus apparently when made to a high standard they are about 2 MOA of accuracy.
As great as .50BMG is I'd rather have that in a heavy machine gun or other mounted weapon. For a dedicated sniper cartridge a .338 or .400 calibre seems more appealing in a lighter and lower recoiling weapon. Still I am impressed at how capable some .30 calibre semi-auto rifles are at extreme ranges in the hands of experienced marksmen.
