why'd they stick with that gun anyways? There are so many better weapons on the market nowadays, heck I;d rather use the m14 over the m16 anytime.

SO i went live-firing the other day and realized ho wunrealisitc it is to have a M16 go through 4 clips and NEVER jam.  This is my umpteenth time firing and it has jammed (slap, charge, fire) at least 4 out of 50 rounds.  They should make each weapon randomly jam.
If the m16 jams withinn 4 clips in real life I feel sorry for the US troops in Irak and such, just counting their shots waiting for it too jam.
So if thats the standard 4 out of 50 in ways you'd say the Belgium P90 would jam 4 times every mag?! I've learned so far this game has nothing to do with realism!!!!!

The minime fires numerous rounds at point blank range and you'll still miss the guy standing there.
The .50 goes through armored glass, but fails to vulperize a man with one shot?
A wrench fixes everything from shot-2-bits tank to heli?
A medic can heal a guy in 2 seconds, and revive him nomatter how many times the poor bastard got shot?
AA that doesnt "Lock-on" untill the flying object is within reach of a spudgun?
Not too forget the mighty 120mm Smoothbore main gun from the tank doesnt kill another tank or APC in one shot?

Forget realism, in this game its all about balance, balance and more balance.
I understand that I am just saying to incorporate the jam every few reloads would be interesting.  I am not  a damn kid.  I know that this game is no where near to real, it is meant to be fun.  It was just an idea.  Having been down range for at least 9 months over the past year and a half, I must say that no matter how well I kep tmy weapon cleaned and ready to fire, it still jammed.  A lot has to do with the loading into the chamber.  If this game was more realistic, the MEC would not have body armor and the chinese would steal would be fighting a war on the battlefield but rather through computers, but that is a different post.

I think people here need to know that when it comes to accuracy and power it is at least 80% the Ammunition type and only 20% the design of the gun, hence why lots of modern weapons like the SCAR can utilise different types of ammunition with little effort as it will allow for more tasks to be completed with the same weapon.

While we're at it, let's make a gun cleaning mini-game while you wait to respawn that determines how often your gun jams...

Better than spending the 15 secs abusing everyone playing like people do at the moment....
