Post: Overpowered and Underpowered Guns Discussion Thread
06-24-2012, 01:17 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm making this thread to see what guns you people think are overpowered in this game. Please remember THESE ARE ALL MATTERS OF OPINION! Please do not flame others for their opinions. Now basically I wanna know what gun you think is overpowered and why. You can either post what gun you think is or reply to someone on why it is not. Note that I'm not just talking about damage here people, I can also mean Rate of fire.

My votes

OP
MTAR21 - This gun is too strong for the fire rate. If they take it down another 5-7 points it would be fine.
M417 - Since it's mainly used as an aggressive sniper, meaning not with 7x, 8x, or 12x scopes, it needs a damage reduction and an accuracy increase. It is meant to be used as a medium range sniper and an ADS spread decrease paired with an hip fire spread increase would really highlight the main purpose of the gun.
93R - This is OP af. You kill someone in the blink of an eye. It's fine up cloes but it needs to have lowered damage and lower range.

UP (Underpowered)
AK-74M - This is I believe the weakest of all the ARs. It need to have less ADS spread.
AKS-74U - I got a feeling the Americans like their guns a little more than the Russians do as the American guns are OP and the Russian guns are UP. Anyway this gun is weak in general, it needs a rate of fire boost.

Please feel free to comment on what guns you think are OP or UP but realize you can be challenged on your reasons why they are, and remember NO FLAMING!!! I don't think the mods enjoy people b*tching at others, and ik I don't.

Please also take a look at this website. This website has the stats for all the BF3 guns. (and MW3 if u wanna use that) All of these values were pulled from the PC game files and are the same values as on console. Enjoy You must login or register to view this content.

O yea for sure. My friend keeps telling me they are giving the Engineer all the good assault weapons. In the beta, the A-91 was an Assault class weapon. (Which makes sense since it is an AR) They gave that to the Engineer. (Which i don't care too much about, I don't use it.) Then after they nerfed the FAMAS, the gave the M-TAR 21 to the Engineer which he calls "the new FAMAS".

Yup, agreed. It needs maybe more initial recoil as it fires 900 RPM (also I think the AEK needs more initial recoil too). I play Support 99% of the time so I wish they gave some love to us. I'm hoping for an MG3 and/or MG4 in the future DLC, that'll be sweet as fuck! Happy

Not really. It's one of the very few carbines that shoots a 7.62. Think about it. That small of a gun isn't really meant for a 7.62, so the damage and recoil are correct. Also, think of the bullet size + the shell for the 7.62. Unfortunately the 20 round mag is realistic but I believe it should be bumped up to 25.


Hmm, it was still the most daunting task for me to get 100 kills with it yesterday, I am SO glad that I've got that out of the way! Dancing

Right. I can't say I dislike the gun but it will suck to get another service star with it. I got 100 kills the first time and said i wasn't gonna use it again... FU dice. fu.
