GJ! That's the reason why the military IRL imidiately return fire when ambushed, even if they don't know really from where they are being shot. As you mention in the video - even though it consumes a lot of ammo, its still better than just being picked of one by one. And that ammo is of no use to you anyway if you are dead!

So I found both an FN FAL and a M249 SAW at a crashed heli. First I was all about the FN FAL with its 8000 damage, nice sights and good range (effective: 400). But then it hit me that the M249 is probably way better for several reasons. The reasons why I think that lots of weak lead is better than accurate and powerful lead: With the arma2 engine, players can get suppressed by bullets striking nearby which makes their crosshair jump all over the place. 200 bullets in one magazine means that you can keep someone suppressed for a longer time. 200 bullets in one magazine means that zombies wont really be a threat unless they are really swarming. Lots of bullets flying through the air scares the shit out of people IRL as well! (at least it works on me) The damage of the m249 is far less (3555) than the power of the FN FAL (8000!), but losing 3555 blood in one bullet is not too shabby. Often the victim will be in "pain" and their aim will be shaking a lot. Sometimes they are even knocked unconcious with the first hit. Now, am I correct when I believe that even though Assault Rifles are awesome, LMG's are still more viable and the better choice, or am I making a fool of my self?
