can someone clear this for me? Doe sthe L9 do as much damage as the M95? cause when i get hit by one my health get's reduce to 2 bars but on the stat's it says it only does 95 dmg.
The M95 ignores armor, the L9 does not.
So, against armored classes, the L9 is not as effective as the M95.
Aim for the head.

l9's get "easier" hs's because of the thinner cross-hairs. that's the trade-off.
You still use that sniper rifle thing? Just throw a nade. Youll get em. (smashes head off desk)
Both rifles have advantages and disadvantages..|microphage wrote:

The crosshairs are thinner on the l96a1 like somebody already mentioned. The m95 has less bulletdrop over larger distances than any of the other sniper rifles. The l96 makes less noise when fired so you hopefully will not be detected as quickly as with the m95. The m95 has more powerfull rounds basically so you can shoot though armoured glass to take out pilots and drivers of jeeps, which the l96 can not. The l96 sounds cooler imo. Im sure there's more advantages and disadvantages.
Its kind of hard to say which rifle is best, both rifles are excellent sniper rifles and its just as easy to get a headshot with the l96 as with m95.
Personally i like the l96 better but the m95 is just as good really.

M95 sucks. Use m24 or l9.
Im pretty sure this is wrong.. the bolt action rifles will do the same damage to targets armored or un-armored..Defiance wrote:

In case it's not obvious: also against other snipers, spec ops and engineers..|microphage wrote:

The case for which is good/better/best has been argued back and forth many times. Here's a good one:

If you're playing SF and you'd otherwise be using the SVD then the M95 is the superior choice in many ways and in terms of pure power it's always the one to pick. But if you snipe at longer ranges it's less accurate and harder to aim with than the L96A1.

No it's just harder to use.-[Silver.Inc* wrote:

I have played about 120 hours sniper. I like the L96 the best because it feel a lot more accurate. The M24 is almost the same but not as easy to hit with. But I have started to use the M24 more and more now.
The M95 is great but it's a lot harder to hit with. Take a lot more time to master that rifle.
SVD is nice when going "attack sniper" on Karkand.
