Just curious, i've seen a variety of decisions by my AR's and I wonder what you guys&gals prefer.

They usually go for the 100rd + RCO but 40% of the time(really high for something that only has iron sights) they go for 200rd because of suppression ability, they say.

Which do you use?

200 mostly for more fire volume and because the iron sights give you the right idea what you will be able to hit reliably while with the scope you will shoot at targets far away and will barely hit it because of the deviation (same for RPG 7, another reason why the PGO scope is total trash).

I take scoped 100 round one because you can suppress by tapping for 1-2 round "bursts" every half a second instead and scope makes long range kills(the real reason enemies won't move out of cover) much easier.

RPG-7 is very accurate out to 400m, unless you fire from crouched/prone position.

do you know how to use the pgo scope for pg-7v* rounds? it's different than it seems at first.

Yes i know all of that already, what i was talking about was that the deviation is so high that at 200m distance it will miss many times just because of it even when aiming correctly.

Go into co-op/training and practice, it's not that inaccurate.

The biggest difficulty is the speed of projectile, not accuracy.

Depends on the map. City and maps with the hell bushes iron sight, most everything else scope.

When did this start to become a thing? I never realized that the alt M249 had a bigger magazine.

Is there other alt LMG kits with the same feature?
