> I've only been playing the game long enough to move up to Corporal,and have had the L96A1 for a couple weeks,and have searched the forums for the answer I'm about to ask for,and never found it. Why is there white tape wrapped around the barrel of the L96,and why not use a camo scheme like the M24? I can only guess that the tape serves to break up the silhouette,is this the deal? Tommy D.

Doesn't it act to both break up the outline, and also has some silencing properties?

No other effect than to break the outline.....doesnt matter what it is so long as it breaks the shape

AWP L96A1. The AW stands for Arctic Warfare so it's a camo deal with the white.

Isn't the one in-game an AWS (Arctic Warfare Suppressed)?

who
















cares?  merely some nice-looking eye candy on the ole awp (yes yes L96A1, but for me the awp).  also serves some outline-breaking functions.

and please, no more toilet paper jokes... how lame.

It's so the barrel doesn't shine in the sun. Though it's just for looks in BF2.
