AS50 or M24

[adamtheheretic 106]

As it's been pointed out it all depends on what you want out of the weapon. If you ask me, for the average lone survivor the m24 has much more utility. It does depend heavily on play style. Personally I am close to 19k humanity and prefer only engaging bandits who are actively participating in predatory hunt of under armed survivors (Acting based on skins alone indicates either a lack of understanding of the current system or the feature to find for jurisdiction to pvp). For these reason I find the ability to take down but not kill a valuable utility.

The m24 has a much smaller profile, not to mention it's camouflaged. I have found a considerable amount of "Elektro sniper hill" players prone with ghillie suits on because utheir ridiculously large AS50 sticks out like an artillery battery. Add to that the fact that the m24 chambers the most common high powered rifle ammunition in the game, and the added bonus that a single dmr mag provides you with four 5 round clips at the expense of a single inventory slot, a you've got yourself a hell of a rifle.

This man just won the thread. Stop trying now.
