xscottyt 4 Posted July 7, 2012 i am currently trying to decided between the too and however i am liking the range on the AS50 the SVD just seem so much more reliable as well as matches my ghillie suit. and why not add the m107 in here too although I've never seen or found one :(which do you prefer?this is not a thread for saying one is better than the other i would just like to hear people opinions on the three different types of sniper rifles.

KField86 237 Posted July 7, 2012 Isn't the AS-50 more powerful than the SVD? It's HUGE which is my only complaint with it(Can clip through buildings and completely blow youre cover if you're sniping from an indoors position(like a few meters back from a window to give some cover). I don't know what the SVDs max effective range is since I haven't used it, but I believe the AS-50 zeros further than the M107, does it not? Could be wrong. I've only had an AS-50. No M107 or SVD yet. Just the other 7.62 caliber rifles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daddy'o 4 Posted July 7, 2012 SVD Camo:+Best & easiest range finder+Looks nice+Is the rarest gun in the game (epeen reasons)-No optical zoom (hinders very long range aiming at horizontal level)-Magnification too low for my tastes-Ammo is as rare as the gun itself-Has identity issues (turns in to different weapons in back pack)-barely any vehicular damage-not 1 hit 1 kill at rangeM107:+.50 cal oomph (epeen)+Obliterates a vehicle with max 2 shots+1 hit 1 kill guaranteed+Ammo obtainability from military spawns (right?)+Optical zoom+Manual zeroing up to 1200-loud as fuck to both players and zombies-range finding compared to the svd-size (clipping, spotting)AS50:+Fits both it's own ammo as well as the m107s ammo+Optical zoom+Manual zeroing up to 1600 (altho rarely useable)+1 hit 1 kill(? at least no one I've shot has survived :D)+Loud only to zombies (barely any noise to players)-Barely any vehicular damage(?)-Range finding compared to the svdHence I prefer the AS50. It just... sounds and performs right. Like made to be in my hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MaximumBullfrog 6 Posted July 7, 2012 AS50 is the best sniper in the game. The PSO-1's rangefinder is good only if you're a highly mobile rifleman. The AS50 is everything the M107 is but with less noise and WAY less recoil. The M107's recoil takes your eyes clean off whatever you just shot at which is a BIG deal for long range banditry. About a half hour ago I took out a team of three creeping around the southwest wall of NWAF within 7 or 8 seconds, a feat that wouldn't have happened with the M107 making you stare at the sky for so long every time it goes off. All 3 guns are lethal if they hit the big toe at full health though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
