Accuracy International AS50

838393 · 2007-03-08, 20:37

Hello, yes, its me. The annoying one.

How about the new Accuracy International AS50 to replace the M95
and L96A1?

Also, I was really unaware that British Marksmen use the M14

)

Could I possible suggest without the usualy critisism and remarks about my poor spelling:

Sniper: AI AS50
Marksman: AI L96

For British Forces maps?
You may now slate me and stuff.

Am I bovvered tho? :P

British Marksman dont use an M14 and dont use it in game...

As for the Sniper Rifle, i dunno. Ask DEV Team

I believe there's one in the works Viper, IIRC.

allrighty

"Also, I was really unaware that British Marksmen use the M14"

they don't.

"Sniper: AI AS50
Marksman: AI L96"

I wouldn't mind seeing the AS50 as the sniper rifle. But L96 as a dmr? No no and... no. What would be the difference between marksman and sniper then? The marksman needs a semi-automatic rifle with a scope so that he can provide his squad with accurate and fast long range fire. He is not a sniper.

The Brit DMR is the L86A2 LSW.

The AS50 (as far as I'm aware) is only used by the US Navy SEALs, and as their snipers are not represented in the mod the weapon should not be used.

And the British already have the L115A1 LRR .338 Lapua sniper rifle which is more powerful than any of the other standard issue ones, and dont need thier snipers power upped even more with a .50.

I hate Future Weapons, because now everybody wants the AS50 and Corner Shot

.

No way the L96 is going to be used as a Makrsman weapon though..

I'd also like to see the M95 stay.

I think the AS50 is plausible, but there isn't any indication of it being adopted by the brits or americans, is there? I thought it was being developed for Special Forces?

If it is already in progress model/texture wise, then it'll prolly go in. But I dont see the need to make another .50 Sniper. Also IIRC Marksman should have a semi auto for rapid accurate fire

Sorry, but people who's names contain numbers only are trouble.

Maybe the insurgents could have a AT rifle from WW2 with a scope!?

The AS50 is semi-automatic IIRC.

I'm pretty sure it's only being adopted by Special Forces units though.

	The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough. Many thanks to [R-DEV]Adriaan for the sig!
