Absolutely.

Give me a G3 and an MP5 and I've got everything I'll ever need.
Yes, it even is a good replacement for frag grenades, CAS and medical equipment.

With caliber and power meaning nothing in PR Id go for the most accurate so the TAR 21 for me.

I love 5.56 and 5.45, cuz it takes less time to kill a guy in CQB with an accurate full auto burst than a high recoil one, I just hate burning a whole mag on a single guy with a G3. G3 on auto feels like all about luck 4 me, sometimes I put a 10 rounds "into" a guy for him to kill me with a burst and heal up with my dressing.

I think one of the reasons teh G3 is so over-rated (imo) is bcuz in all the maps u can choose it (except Basrah?), the counter part is M4/M16 with it's stupid burst mode, so G3 with it's high recoil, high stopping powah and 20 round mags is more or less equal to M16's low recoil, medium stoppin power and 30 round mags (and more mags overall).
Now think of PR 0.87 Asad Khal, what would u choose there, ironsights L85 or ironsights G3? L85 here, while on muttrah it doesnt matter what wep ive got.

Why not an AK in .308, as with the Saiga.

Poll added. I didn't want to leave out the 7.62x39 round though, so it gets its own special place.

5.56mm

To wound is better than to kill.

You could interrogate that guy. No need to kill him, if he's innocent.

No need to shoot him in the first place if he's innocent o.O

He's an enemy soldier. There's no room for innocence there; if he escaped death at the hands of you or your fellow soldiers, then he should consider himself lucky.

That said, I prefer the 5.56 weapons ingame because they're easier to control in CQB on full auto, which means I can put more bullets into the other guy.
