Recoil of "5.56mm guns", Should it be reverted to 0.4 version?

Recoil of the weapons using 5.56mm NATO seems to be much more real in version 0.4 . Now it is wayyyy too high.

I think it should be reduced, if you consider recoil in 0.4 to be too low, at least try something between 0.4 and 0.5. Exception might be M4

I think the M16 and M4 should be reverted to somewhere between .4 to .5, because the M16's are getting sights I heard, so they will haave the same advantages as the M4, so what will the point be to make them really different?

Recoil for the M16 in .5 seems so damn high...

yeah i think the .4 m16 was perfect, m4 should still be higher, more near .32 levels

I think the power of the M16 is wayyyy too weak right now and the MEC/China have a major advantage in weaponry. The sheer power of their weapons and the full auto features generally give them an edge over the US. The 3 round burst of the M16 also has too big of a spread which doesn't help unless you are really close.

Ain't that the truth... burst is useless when you're not killing combatants in a building

and a g3 on full auto is even more useless

g3 on auto wipes out whole squads when i play

Sometimes it dances around the target when looking down the sights.

the recoil on the M16 is way too high - the thing is meant to be super accurate with tiny recoil irl. I should be as lethal with a high speed double tap with it as a single round from a G3 rather than being so far off target after a single shot that I am lucky to fire an accurate round every second.

It sure does. And I agree with the above post. Please lower the recoil of the M16 to make it more competitive with the G3, or up the power.

Don't mind the M16/M4 recoil too much, though I think they should be slightly reduced. The G3 needs alot more recoil on the other hand. From what I can tell, it seems like the G3 is alot easier to control ingame than the M16, which doesn't make sense unless the MEC soldiers are all on steroids. The QBZ seris and the British weapons could use reductions in their recoil too.

the g3 is easy to control? to me it has about double the recoil of the m4 or m16...

I really think the M16/M4 characteristics are quite accurate, is it a little high? yes, but not by much. . .
FYI, when shooting a 3 round burst, aim low and pull down steadily while firing
try that next time.

The QBZ-95 has lower power than the M16 in PR, due to the lighter round. And the G3 is next to useless on full auto. The M16 is a nice medium, though is definetly at a disadvantage due to the 3 round burst restriction, but thats what M16A2/A4s are like, so I guess we'll all just have to learn to live with it.

M-16 has too much recoil. It needs to be lowered. USMC are at a disadvantage in assault rifles right now.

$kelet0r · Post by **$kelet0r** » 2007-03-18 22:42

it's not so much about advantage and disadvantage imo
it's more a case that 1) the weapon has very low recoil irl and is popular for it's semi-automatic fire accuracy and 2) with burst, the first 2 bullets should be hitting almost within the same MOA

I'd have to disagrea, the G3 owns on full auto. Short range, long range, it doesn't matter. Just spray and pray, all you have to do is land 2 bullets and presto, you got a kill.

Just tap the burst really fast, and you basically got full auto, thats what I do.

Just remember everybody, pull down while your firing to compensate for the recoil.

G3 on full auto is useless at anything other than CQB.
