Mini-14 =/= 77. They're two different guns, though by the same manufacturer.

I doubt it is underpowered at all. Ruger is a weapon that deals so much damage per shot that if your health were not more than half, it will become like a super-Barrett to you. It's a very difficult weapon to use, but it is damned rewarding when you use it well. Plus, don't forget this is a team game. Imagine if 2 people in a team use Ruger. That'd be crazy.

i think in general the balance of the game is pretty even. I would like to see a little damage buff for mp5s (however im extremely biased towards them) and i do think the spas is a tad overpowered.

granted the spas is more of a situational gun (really coming into its own on the close quarters maps....duh), but the extra shell, the great speed boost, and the solid damage make it a formidable gun on any mid/close range map
Your acting like your having a duel and your opponent gets a pistol and you get a spork.
Isn't that pretty much what it is? I dunno wtf a spork is, I suppose it's way weaker than the pistol since you compared that to this.

I'm going with the Spaz or the Minigun.

Minigun works *very* well in single-player against bots; but in internet games it's pretty tough to get kills with it if the other team isn't completely newb.

Soldat can be easily summed up as a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Barret is Paper.

Autos are Scissors.

Spas is Rock.

Ruger 77 is Jesus.

M79 is Moses Allah.

Deagles is Israel.

Paper beats rock.
Scissors also happens to beat rock.
Then rock meets Scissors and Paper in a tunnel and beats them both.
Spas goes back out into the open where he is struck down by Jesus.
Allah, not to be outdone, blows Jesus into fiery bits.
Rock, Paper, Scissors, and Jesus all respawn and take advantage of Allah's downtime.
Allah is booted for "L0L M79 NUB"
Israel wins.

And that is called "Weapon Balance."

No but seriously, I feel everything's pretty evened out, and changing the balance much more will cause more problems. Balance is one damn hard thing to achieve.

Now I'm leaving before I'm flamed hard for my obviously inaccurate comparison.

You mean, offensive comparison...
And no, Spas right now has so much in it right now I can beat Steyr's with it on inf_Invasion...
That having been said, the best weapon balance I've known so far is that from 1.4.1...
Heck, even .2 was good, at least better than the current "balance"...

This can be debunked very, very bad.... This whole rock paper scissors depends on the range of targets first of all. (Example) If a player using a barret sees a player with spas in half a screen range, then yeah, the sniper is dead.

But nice try organizing.

barrett is strong in close combat, especially if it's a map with a lot of polygons all around (ctf_Nuubia) and ofc it must be ready to fire. it's good in long range, due to the range, you can fire a bullet before you get binked. the downsides is the movement acc,causing difficulties to aim, bink and the rather slow fire interval.

in general, all the autos (especially Minimi and AK) are way greater than the semi autos. thus the autos should be nerfed with damage removal and semis boosted with damage, and remove mostly of barretts movement acc and some start up time.

Removing barrett movement acc is like rambo walking around with a freakin nuke. No, even though I am a strong advocate of barret users, I have to disagree with removing the movement acc. Barrett will be extremely overpowered.

since autos got no selfbink anymore, barret must be buffed somehow.

id say spas too.
if you're just close enough 1 shot can kill you.
if you're just too far away, nothing happens to you.

The top 3 voted are probably spot on.

Spas-12 for it's devastating power in a questionable range. Minigun (if it regs perfectly) and the FN Minimi, for it's very stable control and bullet count.

Minigun needs extreme buff. Nuff' said, but now to think about it, we're only talking about overpowered weapon. I think AUG should be buffed a little; I mean, 25 rounds? Come on!
