The M12 does def do less damage.
If an intervention will kill most of the times with one shot the M12 needs 2 shots unless its dead center mass or a headshot.

Yes, I accept that the M21 is weaker, but you can't base all your theories of all guns and attachments based on the ingame stats. Like I said, if you put an ACOG on a gun, the Range stat increases, but absolutely no (0) changes are made to the actual gun mechanics. The bullet will still do the same damage at every range level.

That was my question/concern. The stats say one thing, yet in games, a lot of other stuff happens. Just was wondering if the M21 was particularly amazing to play with, even though its stats say otherwise.

Don't trust the stats at all. If you want to find out how a weapon handles, use it.

M21 rapes face if you have little/no lag.

Actually, all the snipers do the same amount of damage.

Krazed: That's either a troll or a terrible player. Take your pick.

On a side note, in case you didn't think MW1 was noob-friendly enough:
"# Weapons have much longer range in MW2, retaining their max damage for a much greater distance.
# Weapon "idle" (reticule sway) has been greatly reduced in MW2 and is virtually non-existent except for on scoped weapons such as Sniper, ACOG, or Thermal.
# Weapon "kick" (recoil) has been greatly reduced in MW2, particularly for assault rifles, and is the chief factor in affecting how much more deadly the weapons in MW2 are compared to COD4.
# Hip fire is much more accurate in MW2, and sub machine guns no long hold a significant advantage over other weapons in this area."

Wrong.

The stats are correct, you probably just don't notice.

Wanna test? Grab yourself a shotgun, find the max average range to kill someone with it (About 5 metres).

Now attach a silencer to it, notice the decrease in range and try and kill someone now. Max range? About 2 metres.

Okay, grab a FAL, and find the furthest distance to kill someone in three shots. Now attatch an ACOG to it. See if you can kill them any further.

There are some that work, but as a general rule the stats don't apply. You're best to just try the gun yourself.

i like how they recycled sounds from MW1.

Finally shot down an AC130 today

And, finished the SCAR-H attachments... still got to get the last 3 camo's for it though.

How.

I've fired like 359358935 javelin missiles at one, and it never went down.

aero's right, m21's the only sniper rifle with an 1.1 modifier for chest shots. i.e. you can only 1 chest shot ppl with stopping power.

What's the javelin glitch?

Use stinger. Get lock, it drops flares, wait for them to be pretty much off the bottom of your screen while aiming the stinger and fire.


If your lucky it will kill it. Oh and best of luck surviving that long while keeping a bead on the AC130 and not being shot. I died twice last time attempting to shoot it down solo cause the other cunts on my team thought akimbo .44s and DEagles were more awsm than a stinger launcher.
