machine gun?

[KinG-Clan]

Do you think the machine gun is a good weapon? I don't think so. It's good for small maps, but not for big...

[iDante]

... umm... what gun are you talking about? the minigun?

[excruciator]

all gunz are good, even the minigun has its use, but I think hes is referring to the Minimi

[colby]

well i think its a good gun for camping or defending, but has the lowest damage per shot out of any of the guns

[Xxypher]

Well no duh, you cant have Barrett like bullets coming from an HK...

If you're gonna do that, just give the Barrett no fire interval and no reload time. It fires like a laser beam... lol.

[ChromedGun]

Haha, that's awesome. Give it like 500 ammo and no fire interval, lower the damage and you got yourself a laser rifle

No fireinterval ... if you have NO fireinterval, you will have infinite ammo. (Dunno how it works now, but it worked in 1.3.1)

Back on topic, The Minimi is still a decent weapon if you can tame the high movement acc.

[SpiltCoffee]

But it was REALLY good before, when it had less MovementAcc and more Bink. There was a secret to using it, but once you knew it, you owned with the weapon.

[StANDY]

I realy like the minimi. Only problem is you either get sniped or someone jetpacks over you making it realy hard to aim.

[Mangled*]

LOL. I like how he says machine gun and you all jump to conclusions as to which he means..

Legitimately speaking the only true machine guns in Soldat are the Minimi and Minigun. Although personally I like to class Gatling guns as seperate from machine guns because they are different for obvious reasons.

Mp5 is a sub-machinegun
AK-74 and Steyr-AUG are assault-rifles

So assuming he's talking about the Minimi...

Personally I've been using it alot over the last 2 months... particularly after 1.4 came out I've taken a shine to it because I didn't play with it much before but I realise that I'm very good with it..

It's nicely ballanced.. and it's fun to mow down a load of injured players with it with just a few shots.

uhm, i love minimi:) its my favourite gun, but AK is better to my mind

[Maryleaf]

Yeah, HK isnt all so powerful. Just if its in the correct hands its a good weapon.

[SpiltCoffee]

I can kill an MP5 user faster than they can kill me when I have an AK, mainly because I fly above them. Lol.

[`OlaFek]

Yeah, HK isnt all so powerful. Just if its in the correct hands its a good weapon.

I agree with you, HK have slowly cadence, but better damage and its a little advantage maybe...

[The Specialist]

The FN Minimi does a lot of damge and can almost take out every weapon.  I use it occasionally.

[Twistkill]

The Minimi is somewhat harder to handle than the other autos due to the movementacc forcing you to stop using your jets to make your shots hit. Now hardly anyone uses it except for me, SDFilm... and a few others. I'm still kind of upset by its nerf, especially considering that hardly anyone used it in 1.3.1, but I'm trying to make the best out of it - I now use it as often as I did in 1.3.1, it's just that it now takes about 8 hits to kill someone, plus I have to stop using my jets while I'm firing, but whatever.

[SpiltCoffee]

I use it quite a lot as well. But, yes, it is harder to use. I think 4 MovementAcc points is too harsh. Maybe one less? Wouldn't do much harm, I expect.
