m14 aim or mk48 mod 0 ?

[drunkenteddybear 9]

hey guys.

which one should i drop (m14 with 7 mags, mk48 with 3 mags) ?

right now i have both but even with coyote backpack i'm out of free space haha :D

but i'm afraid that the ammo-bug will empty my mk48 mags :(

can i handle the mk48 with single-shots like the m14?

[ironman Tetsuo 181]

I am currently packing the mk48 but I play as part of a group, one sniper, one supporter (me) and several scavengers. If you're a lone wolf player i'd suggest sticking with the M14, the mk48 is only any good if deployed properly (shot from a prone position) and is too cumbersome to be used acurately whilst running around firing from the hip.

Both are good...

in attracting zombie hords.

[kingochaos 131]

Are you serious... MK48 is probably the best all round weapon in the game... ammo is easy to find, it is awesome in every way! But real rare... m14 common as, good solid weapon, but a dime a dozen... so you should give me yah MK48 and keep the M14 o course!

[dallas 5195]

It's a coin flip.

The mk48 holds more ammo per inventory slots, if you click fire, instead of holding it, you'll get very close to 1-2 shot bursts. It might be a bit easier to recover your aim and make accurate long rage shots with the M14. If I were in your situation, it would be as difficult a choice.

i play with two mates. one with mp5sd6 and the other with akm.

but i also like playing alone from time to time and had very good moments with my m14 :(

[Bludy 324]

they make the same damage, mk hasn't burst or single shot..they are two different weapons it's obviously..what do you want to do? the ammo problem: 1 mag for mk is like 10 dmr mags..

[kingochaos 131]

O and the MK is just as accurate as m14 if yah just single shot with it... yah dont need full auto(tap the button fast)... but its awesome to have if yah need it.. and its fine to use crouched or prone with 2-3 rnd burst.

In my opinion they are both very similar weapons. 1 shot for an infected, 2 for a player, both have mounted red dot sights. The main difference for me between the 2 is the fact the MK is full auto "in a big way", and has 100 rounds per magazine. Making it superior in my eyes.

My two favorite weapons! M14 - 8k blood per hit, accurate and flexible. M48 for groups laying down suppressing fire.

[hazedaze 89]

m14 is the best

[drunkenteddybear 9]

this choice is killing me :D

i LOVE my m14 and already lost it once. so i'm VERY proud to have it again (found it in a firestation haha :D)

but the mk48 is just as vicious and maybe the full-retard mode will be important some time :(

maybe i shoud look for a tent and hope nobody will ever find it.

[puppetworx 474]

Maybe you should just give that M14 to me. I'll take good care of it.

[nacrom 82]

Good idea. Find a tent and stash it.

[The_Albatros 72]

MK48 by far.

M14 AIM's are at almost every crashed heli.

[snipingnewbs 17]

M14 for life.

So many times I've knocked another player out cold in one.

They both fire 7.62 NATO rounds.

One is fully automatic.

One is semi.

One has 100 round belt.

One has 20.

Both have the same scope.

Both are as noisy as each other.

One is camoflauged

One isn't.

One makes you look like a boss.

One makes you look like a rifleman.

See where I'm going with this?

[hombrecz 832]

Tough choice my lad indeed. I think that with M14 you are able to react maybe a little faster, so maybe M14 if you were lonewolf.

That said, if you roll with mate or two, it would be nice to have machine gun in your squad so MK48.

I totally understand the tough choice you are about to make :) .

Edit: only thing I dislike on M14 is, that it is the wooden version. If it looked like DMR but with aimpoint, I would fall in love with it and only death would part us.

[hombrecz 832]

Now if M14 with aim in Dayz had THIS looks...I would be totally sold :-D

It even does not make that much of sense that invading US forces would wield wooden body M14 instead of modern ones.

[drunkenteddybear 9]

i like the m14 because it's accurate and strong. so maybe a clean answer for this question would help me:

mk48 single fire = m14 ?

Imagine you had to "feel the weight". What would you choose, do you really need both? Maybe this will make your decision easier.

[reciprocate 1]

If I had the choice, I'd give up several M14's for a Mk48. I think the utility of laying down that much suppressive fire with it can be crucial, bursting with it works well enough. 1 belt of MK48 ammo is quite a few DMR mags. Though at least from my experience it's easier to find an M14 than a Mk48, only ran into a MK48 in a copter crash once, but I've probably found around 7 M14's in comparison.

[drunkenteddybear 9]

okay, i will keep the mk48 and give the m14 to my mate.

i guess the 5x dmr mag = 1x mag for mk48 thing is the reason.

[oleg86@msn.com 101]

1 mk48 belt = 2 spaces.

But yeh, out of the two i'd take 48

[DrFree_man 87]

if you lone wolf it def keep the m14 .... if you run with at least 2 other ppl give one of them the 14 and keep the 48 and be the boss!
