LAW

[Karvinen]

There is no tanks in Soldat, so what is the point of M72 LAW (light antitank weapon)?

[jrgp]

uhh, to knock out a bunch of people at once or just kill someone from across the map in style?

[~Niko~]

It's a game

[The Goliad]

LAW is a fun weapon; blow people up, give your teammates a boost, etc, use it...


  LAW FTW

[-Zombie-]

LAW becomes uesful in tw, and also if you find it useless you could mod it etc. Just learn how to use a law and you'll find it not so useless

If it can take out a tank, then it can definitely take out a human. Got a problem with a little overkill?
though in reality it would simply pierce a hole in a human without actually exploding

[UnknownSniper]

LAW = Long(-range) Ass Whooping.

[STM1993]

For fun! Who cares if you're a human or a tank? They'd just shoot it if they really have to. And this is Soldat, so why not?

[xtishereb]

There are no armored vehicles (or any vehicles) in Soldat, so why have an anti-armor rifle in it?

Because it kills people damn good.

[rayanaga]

The Barrett M82A1 was never meant to be used as a standard anti-personal weapon but more for an anti-armor weapon to knock out targets inside of "bulletproof" vehicles.

It is a bit overpowered to be used on soldiers in real life. It can easily pierce any body armor currently available today and left a pretty big mess. *AKA. Missing Limbs*

But in soldat, you're spoiled with it.

How awesome is it to walk around with a anti-armor weapon and blast the crap out of people?

The LAW is just another overkill weapon that is fun to use to overkill soldiers.

[Hair|Trigger]

BarrettM82A1 - The army never even intended to use it on people, but who cares?

-Soldat Manual

It's clearly a Man's game

[Pie]

Because clearly just being dead isn't enough, when you're blown to bits you're not getting up. Think of the zombie masses!!

[Platehead]

What everyone else said..
And in the same token, Ruger is a deer hunting gun.  It kills deers, it kills men.
LAW blows tanks up.  It demolishes tanks, it destroys men.

List of some incredible things in Soldat: (This shows that Soldat isn't a realistic game to people who keep thinking "Soldat is realistic or must be realistic". Soldat was never meant to be realistic, and I love Soldat the way it is)



1. Desert Eagles
Holding two at once and shooting both at once can break your arms, literally, due to heavy recoil.

2. MP5, AK-74 Aug, Minimi
HK MP5:
Effective Range (meters): <not sure>
Firing Rate (RPM): 800
Steyr Aug:
Effective Range (meters): 450-500
Firing Rate (RPM): 650
AK-74:
Effective Range (meters): 500
Firing Rate (RPM): 600-650
FN Minimi:
Effective Range (meters): <not sure>
Firing Rate (RPM): 750-1000 (for magazines, RPM is usually faster, so its about 1000)

Tada for firing rate. Minimi's fastest, followed by MP5, Aug, AK. Notice the AK and Aug fire at almost the same speed.

3. Ruger 77
The Ruger 77 is actually a bolt-action deer-hunting rifle. Bolt-action, in other words it should have been much slower than it really is! And it is possible for it to be a sniper rifle, because its supposed to be fitted with a scope, not with sights.

4. Barrett M82A1
It's a .50 caliber BMG anti-tank semi-automatic sniper rifle. In real life, it fires faster than it is here. And this sniper rifle should never be used on living human soldiers due to its extreme power. Perhaps even banned from being used on living humans if I'm not wrong.

5. XM214 Minigun
The Minigun is already 15kg by itself. You still need a battery to make the minigun work (it relies on electricity), and a whole load of ammo. You can't even hold it along with all that equipment, let alone try to shoot the minigun. It fires up to 10,000 rounds per minute with its 6 barrels, and the estimated peak recoil force is 110kg. In real life, no human personnel can ever use a minigun on his own.

6. Jet Boots
Since when do soldiers have boots that can allow them to fly?

7. Chainsaw
The chainsaw isn't a killing machine. Contrary to all the zombie stuff you see, the chainsaw is a wood-cutting machine. And why would a soldier carry a chainsaw to battle? It's heavy, bulky, noisy, and requires fuel/electricity. It's more sensible for him to carry a knife.

8. M72 LAW
It's an anti-tank rocket launcher. And it'd take forever to reload a LAW in real life. And it's not that easy to aim a LAW.

9. Rambo Bow
I don't think you can be so accurate while moving around with a bow and reload so fast after each arrow shot at the same time. Secondly, the Flamed Arrows. How in the world would arrows that are on fire explode? Unless you tell me to stick a molotov cocktail to the arrow or some napalm bomb on the tip, in which I don't think the arrow can even fly properly.



Need I say more? It's a game! =D

etc...

Minigun ->
IF you've ever seen Black Hawk Down, you can see just how much these suckers own.

Ruger ->
I can fire about the same speed as you can in the game! What are you talking about slower? xD

Minime -> RPM is usually limited by default to conserve ammunination but can be cranked up if the squad demands it. A minime is very fast.

Chainsaw -> Well, its just fun to saw the crap out of people!

[UnknownSniper]

Ruger in real life against on Soldat would depend on if you have a clip or manual load. :p

[Scorpian]

to kill people

[The Goliad]

No wonder the Barret is so big. Now I understand.   

[UnknownSniper]

No wonder the Barret is so big. Now I understand.   

The bigger the barrel, the higher velocity the bullet will travel, which means more distance per shot with greater power.
