For me i would choose the RPK-74. It has a much faster rate of fire and more accurate IMHO then PKM. Share your views here.
I alternate between all of the support guns. I like the RoF on the rpk, but there is definitely something to be said for the power of the pkm.
My favorite support weapon changes with every new patch... Right now RPK and MG36 are by the far the best overall LMGs in my opinion. You can hit targets farther away much faster than with PKM because of fast firing rate, and that makes up for close range encounters.
RPK for close combat maps like Karkand becasue it has a higher firing-rate AND okay accuracy,
PKM for maps like Mashtuur were the chance of distant firefights is given, becasue the PKM is good for mid-range sniping there

yeh the saw rocks, but im still an mg36 user mostly
m249 = close-range (karkand hotel slaughter machine)
mg36 = all-round personal favourite
pkm = never used it.
rpk-74 = like the mg36, but less cool

SAW is a good for close and far, gotta know how to shoot with it for far away, ones you got it, its damn great. (even without the zoom function)SargeV1.4 wrote:

The Saw? I honestly never learned how to use it. I ALWAYS miss with that thing, even at close.
I just don't get how to work with that thing. Anyone who can help?

'tis outclassed by pretty much every other support gun in long range. sure, it can be used for long range targets, but it won't be as effective as others.^*AlphA*^ wrote:

its just what you play most with
^^ yep
M249 is the best at long ranges, no questions asked. Fire in bursts of 2-5 bullets and you'll see.

RPK-74, because of it's firerate, it's my favourite support gun, perfect balance between ROF and firepower.
Good 130 magazine aswell.

Reason I ask is I like the SAW, but I can't hit squat at long range.
I also seem to always miss at close range... an enemy comes roind the corner, I open full auto and I die.
So what tips would you have?

I have recieved your PM's (last 2 days ago). I'm gonna play battlefield tonight. I didn't get a chance all weekend - I was at a selection weekend for a cadet JNCO (junior non-commissioned officer) promotion course. I'll make your sig tomorrow, after school.
Oh, and it's my birthday today, so I am rather occupied.

Thanks, although my weekend is nearly over. It's 9pm here. I spent from 7:45 to 5:00-5:30 on saturday and sunday being assessed in drill, instructional technique, and learning about leadership. Was good fun (even though it doesn't sound like it ).^*AlphA*^ wrote:
