I'm wondering what you thought it would be.

Personaly i think that the MP7 is the hardest gun / weapon to kill with.

The paddling. Compared to the others, it's easy hard enough.

MP5 - Best used on single-shot at medium ranges, full auto at short.
P90 - Same as the MP5, but with easier sights and a larger mag.
Eryx/SRAW - Takes a bit of time to master, but once you do, you'll be hitting infantry square in the chest from 20 meters out (extremely satisfying when done on IO Karkand servers).
MP7 - Two options: Stay back, and two single-shots for the head (sights are the best of all SMGS, tbh), or rush in on full auto. Sounds kickass when fired.
Pistols - Some of the most accurate guns in the game. With the MR-444, just aim slightly down, and any recoil will pull the sights up along the target.
Knife - Generally simple enough to use.
Shock paddles - There's the second delay, and the fact that your person yells "Clear!". Add that in with the ever awesome hitboxes, and you're fucked if you miss.
M29 SAW - Not hard to use at all, really. My favorite LMG.

We all knew that but this isn't about that, lol


I would say knife or shock paddles because of the hit boxes. It would be easy if the hit boxes actually detected that you hit them. I hate seeing the puff of white smoke with the knife and not killing the person

Seriously the MP5 is totally underrated as a weapon, It owns just as hard as it owns in COD4 and sometimes i will use it instead of my P90 when we dont have enough support gunners

Agree 95%. How the hell is a guided rocket hard to use? Point, aim, fire, guide. Only hopping infantry are a problem, and quick moving targets like FAV's, choppers and Jets. 
Knife is harder to use than paddles as you often have to stab twice...paddles always works first go.

Hardest weapon to use, I would say, is either MG36 (the sights are totally fucked...learn them and its fine), SVD/T88 for their recoil and pump-actions as you need to make that first shot count.

Knife...but only because the hitboxes suck and you have to stab twice most of the time

Paddles, for the reasons cowami stated.

MP7 is seriously underrated IMHO. I love that gun.

Well, the knife at the least has its near instant reload time, allowing you to get that second stab (if necessary) in quickly. With the defibrillator, your medic has to rub the paddles together. Unless you're facing a completely incompetent enemy, expect several rounds to the chest and/or head in that extra second or two.

I think its a REALLY fun gun to use, but it has terrible accuracy, terrible range, and a terrible ammount of ammo.

I dont like going in and killing 3 people then having to find supplies / a new kit

MP7 = awesome
The damned shock paddles get me into lots of trouble - for some reason, my computer chooses the exact time when I want to paddle someone to get a lag spurt, and I end up overshooting, missing, and being pumped full of lead...

MP5.compared to the DAO or P-90 it is utter crap.

EDIT:cowami you're totally wrong.at long range Pistol > MP7.after much MP7 whoring i've learned the best way to use it is up close(obviously) and strafing if the enemy knows you're there.it is probably the most accurate gun you can use while strafing,plus the 40 round mag means you will not fail to kill the person unless you absolutely suck.

I actually have the most trouble with the L85A1. Even on single shot it is not very accurate (at least for me). But I know its shots do a lot of damage so I just have to keep reminding myself that it doesn't matter if I miss most of my shots because all I need is 3 or 4 hits. But I hate missing shots.

Unlocks, yah seriously, I suck with the G36E, while I own with the M16 or any stock weapons.

Same here. I can't use that gun, I just miss every shot Back in the day however, before I unlocked the G36 and started using it I was alright with it. Now I just try and stick to the stock weapons

I can relate to that only with the knife. Always have that half second lag right when i'm about to stab and i then find myself standing in front of the person. Paddles have a much greater range then the knife so i never had the problem with them.

The pump action jackson requires a bit of skill to use effectively (read: bunny hopping slag), and the SVD is quite difficult to master in close quaters. At least with the bolt actions you can 1 hit then pistol.

Its got to be the knife. Its the only weapon that obviously doesnt fire, you got to get up close to use it. Having said that, its quite easy to use on prone players facing the other way. As for guns, id have to go for the SAW, shoot, shoot, shoot and you still havnt hit anyone...

MP5 - Kick ass up close, Sucks a little bit against armored targets though.
P90 - Lots of ammo and powerful for a SMG, only if it didn't have a split second of lag when you change weapons.
Eryx/SRAW - Easiest weapon to own with in the game, kill anyone from any distance.
MP7 - It feels some what awkward to use, runs out of ammo fast, worst SMG in the game, but its satisfying to kill with.
Pistols - 3rd or 4th most accurate weapon in the game, It makes no sense how a pistol is more accurate than a SMG.
Knife - Sometimes when you knife em you get dust.
Shock paddles - Piece of shit.
M29 SAW - Awesome in CQB's I prefer not to use the Iron sights.


I'd say the MP7 for guns
and Shock paddles for melee.

I actually find it to be one of the easiest to use! It was one of my first unlocks and have loved it ever since. Its problem is that it sometimes misses what are blatent hits. I rarely fire it from a non-proned position because of this, as when prone, its pretty damned accurate. Hell, I took out 3 people in 6 shots with it on Leviathan the oher day. Granted, I killed one and then in jumped the medics but it still counts

The hardest part about the gun, is judging whether to use single or auto (but working at burst fire speed) at medium range due its recoil. That is where it gets hammered and you have to make a snap decision that will either win or lose you the firefight. Its that simple.

Tbh, I find the 36E the hardest "assault rifle" to use, simply because Ive used it a grand total of 3 times. Soon as I unlocked it, I tried it and went back to the L85 on the following death. If I ever get revived with it, I drop it asap, and use a pistol until then. Never liked it, and never will.
