So I finally decided to check this out on Al Basrah tonight after I got bored flying around in a cobra and A-10...

god damn this is fun to use! In the time I had the rifle I stacked up 15 kills, in maybe 7 minutes. It was brutal I killed an insurgeant with ammo and stocked myself up. This weapon is just unfair at 50 meters distance against insurgeants. Their shitty shitty aim, against me, I took on 5/6 insurgeants at once and wiped them out in no time. Amazing little weapon! I plan to terrorize with it alot more!

I have some nice sniper footage from Greasy Mullet! Its like 8 minutes of un-edited .50 cal sniping from the crane near transport hub! I just need to find out how to make it good quality so I can post it up.

M95 appearing cheat: go 3 steps vorward, 5steps back, turn 45°left and then go 10 steps vorward, empty two magazines of your M4, then make the "enemy spotted" radio command and there it is!!!!!!11111 100% working lol^^

Haha...
concering the Insurgent deviation, I never really experienced it myself.

I don't think it's like a cone of fire deviation. I think it's just that there's more recoil after each shot. I've never experience cone-like deviation before with them.
Re: the AMR.... SHIZZY YEAH!!!! That thing's awesome. I too hadn't gotten it until a few days ago. That zoom is a BEAST! It's amazing. And there seems to be much less bullet drop, which I assume means DEVs used realistic muzzle velocities for it. But yeah! It's great. It's like you're firing point-blank on targets that are too far away to even see you!

I found it yesterday.
I went on a hunt for about 45 minutes, checking everywhere, and finally stumbled upon it.
HINT- It's in a small building on the floor.
Thats as much as i'll tell!

Its a good gun but its not that easy to see the targets. Your playing with a lot of n00bs if they letting you shoot them up all the time.

It's already been posted with pictures thanks to some smacktards.
This means I almost never get it on USMC, but the bright side is, since I usually end up playing insurgent because no one wants to play them, is that the more poeple that know about the m95, the greater chance I have of picking one up as insurgent, cause only about 1/10 of the snipers know wtf to do with it and only 1/100 of those know how not to lose it.

Hes right,
refrain from telling people publicly.
I say this because it will 1)reduce the mountains of
people waiting for it and
TKing. 2) You actualy
gain from going out there and looking for it. I scoured the whole city before i saw this lonely little place and just KNEW it was there.
The benefit was, that searching 85% of Albasrah
allowed me to know the place very well. A few more INF rounds and i will know it
like the back of my hand.
Happy hunting
Oh, Btw. I think Kenwayy is probly the best i have seen wit hthe M95...Second is me!

The second setting zoom is insane so it can sometimes be tricky for aiming.

I've had some great rounds with Maistros, where he takes the M95 and I escort/guard/spot for him. It's great fun. Most people don't like that kind of role, but I love it. It gives me the chance to:
1) Have a justification for using the M4. I know people think it's useless, and you usually get yelled at in a VOIP TW squad for using it. But I think it's great. You get a sweet AR, DM-like single shot accuracy, and SLAMs that are perfect for taking out enemy ammo piles, spawn cars, AA, and vehicle assets.
2) Sneak around the city with that kit, being all tactical and whatnot, but in a rather lone wolfish way. When I first started playing PR, I was a major lonewolf, albeit a very good one. Then I started liking the teamwork side. But it's still fun to use those old skillz toward a team goal.
3) Do something hella useful for the team by keeping the Godly AMR away from the insurgents, and keeping most of the roofs free of insurgents (something that the cobras should be focusing on, but sadly don't.

Dude, could you please remove that link? I wish people wouldn't be so free about sharing that info. The way it is now, you must either search for it, or be a close enough member of the community that people will show you in-game or via PMs.
Some people may find that unfair, but I call that proper tard-management.

The M95 should be much harder to find if you ask me. I think putting it in a building is just a little to easy, not to mention the USMC can practically spawn right on top of it.
