(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I for one love snipeing, but it kinda ruins it when a .50 cal shot or a shot from the intervention cant kill someone in one hit. and is it just me or do the silencers make the sniper do less damage and have more recoil? to me that doesnt make any sense.

and yes i do use stopping power pro, even though i really shouldnt have to.

I see.
True, the bar stats were never accurate.
So the source of the lowered damage via silencers is also from the pc files?

easyeir way to tell snipers with silencers are alot weaker is to do what i done go in game with a silence barret with hardline on and one with out silencer with hardline on the one with silencer takes 2 shots to the head the one with out takes 1

definitely a damage decrease. i never use the silencer anymore

silencers make the sniper less powerful and at a range it is worse.

to everyone that says snipers reduce the damage range, your wrong.

a silenced sniper with cold blooded takes 2 headshots at point blanc range, yet a unsilenced sniper with cold blooded kills in one shot? if the silencer only reduced range then surely it would still be the same at close range?
and by point blanc i mean literally sniper right in their face, they wer'nt moving and i was host, none had any lag(even if there was none of us were moving so lag would not effect it, i got hitmarkers too)

thats 100% true two headshots with a .50 barret if its silenced and cold blooded, its a joke. that was on nuke boosting.

Well if you think about it a silenced .50 cal isn't very realistic is it? I mean yeah there are vids of them, but I don't really know that they are used in reality that much.

Yes, same source.

Snipers have constant hit points, unlike other guns that decrease over distance.

All snipers are 70 damage, 50 with silencer.

For example, a silenced rifle head shot without stopping power: Head shot = 1.5x so, 1.5(50)=75 ::no kill:: a silenced rifle with stopping power: Head shot = 1.5x, stopping power = 1.4x so, 1.5(50*1.4)=105 ::kill::

I snipe with cold blooded on (no silencer) with an Intervention with thermal and it is two shot kill, sometimes one if its near the head (no headshot though). My other sniping class, Barret, I use Acog, 'til i get thermal, and stopping power. One shot kill in the torso.
I don't mind having to two shot kill them without stopping power. I actually snipe, as in camp snipe, no bullshit 'no-scoping' and I do fine. Yeah, I would prefer to be able to snipe with cold blooded and still get a one shot kill but I don't mind.

The one shot kill is the whole point of the sniper rifle though. It's meant to be a perfect aim one shot kill.
