FN FAL the best all rounder?

ACOG

Why is ACOG the first answer for a sight anyone comes out with?? is it a CoD thing?? someone please enlighten me.

The FAL if equipped with a sight would be more suited for a Red Dot sight system, ACOG is far too bulky for the weapon mounts plus it aint as good as the Red Dot for CQB scenarios

I would love the FN FAL except for one thing, that damn aperture sight. I know it's just a personal thing, but I hate that sight (same as the M16/M4 variants), I just find it awkward when matched up to something intuitive like the AK sights, or the G17

Yes, but for precision fire there is nothing better than the peep sight, but bad for fast target aqcuisition at closer range. Even i have to admit that as an AK fan.

I'm all about whatever gun I have ammo for. I'm one of those folk who can't ignore my 'real world' logic when I'm playing games and watching movies (Which makes me really annoying, apparently). When it comes time for PvP I lay down the fire so the crew can move in and take the kill. Any loud, rapid fire weapon works for this.

I have developed a preference towards the AKM, though.... Sorry FN FAL :(

I like FAL's, but the problem with FAL's is that I currently have 5 in my tents and only 3 mags. Ammo is just too hard to find - which doesn't really make any sense since it uses the same round as the m14.

My overall favorite gun is the M14. Great CCO, satisfying meaty sound, hefty shot that takes down any Z in one shot and players in 1-2 and accurate out to 500 meters. Not to mention it has the feel of a legit end of the world survival gun.

An allround weapon is something easy to find, something with common ammo and something with high damage.

If your on the coast either the winchester because its quiet and high dmg as well as common.

Out inland, DMR or M24. M24 turns a dmr round into 4 clips. Very common rifles in stands and barracks.

I only use the belt-fed machine guns currently because duped ammo is plentiful for our clan. I think when the standalone comes and duped guns go poof, the AKM with its massive blood-damage will reign supreme simply because of the ammo being plentiful.

The FAL is nice for both long distance and close combat. The only reason I would take it over the m14 aim is because of the CC aspect. The m14 is harder to use in CC situations. The red dot encumbers your vision for a split second while drawing on the target, whereas the iron sights of the FAL, do not. It is still a toss up, with the fact that the aim is an all around better weapon for everything else.

I personally just like the FAL's CC aspect and the fact that one bullet, anywhere, will put you down. I have shot the m14 aim 5 times into someone and didn't put them down. I shot them in the ass, but that is neither here nor there.

FAL all the way. In fact, it is what I've had on my live char for the better part of a month.

My first experience with the FAL was at a heli crash site I found at Mog. I snuck in, grabbed the FAL and the M14. I ran away and started shooting at zombies with the FAL and still managed to aggro them from 500+m away, which lead me to believe that FAL stands for Fucking Awfully Loud.

Also, if you can't find ammo for it, you clearly aren't hunting helis right. Every time I find a heli, there's either 3 bizons or 3 fals laying there on the ground.

Are you kidding me... it's loud, and ammo is like finding a phone charger in my house - it's impossible. The only thing it has going for it is damage, but even that isn't too great.
