Yea,Thats true but the accurscy on m79 is not good.you shoot stright it goes down.Obviously berratt doesnt do that.And thats why i think poeple like berratt more.

But the barrett's accuracy while moving is more poor.  The m79 arc is generally much more accurate and follows a nice arced path.  The barret bullet is straight but it tends to vary its angle while you are moving.  Anyways I like barrett better since it has such a long range.

The M79 is almost never used for its original purpose: blowing fools up from behind hills. I don't hate it as much as the people who use it like a shotgun.
The Barrett is like Duck Hunt: fun to use/play, but requires less skill to get good at it than other weapons. Plus I stole someone's yesterday and then used it to kill them. :D

I hate that term, people just think that because they manage to nail some majors and they die right away because it's more noticeable. Go play a GOOD Barret user first before using terms like that.

Well they're both good but m79 is just noobish. It would be good if MM just put a delay on the m79 like he did for the barret.

You're just walking forward and suddenly BOOM! you're dead. GAHHHH!!! I changed the name of m79 to Noob Tube.

Actually, isn't the M79 reload time about the same speed, if not a tad faster than the barrett interval?

Barret is in all ways(except for one) better.

Barret has:

1. Range
2. Power
3. Scope
4. shots come in as rounds, not reloads.


M79 has:

1. Power
2. No delay
3. No bink


so, barret is ONLY beat by m79 at EXTREME close ranges where the m79 will fire and hit before barret's delay is over.

Since barret is 10 round's, I can throw nades while it advances to my next shot.

If you throw nades while your m79 is reloading, it will pause the reload while you throw the nades.


that being said, barret is for one type of situation, and m79 is for another. You must realise that no weapon is better than another.

requires less skill?  lmao
let's try this:  you practice for a month with the barret and then face me on a one on one with it - we'll see how much skill there really is involved...
Can't think of anything original to put here...

M79 is just a little more fun to use, and It's very satisfying to nail a long range shot with it.  The barrett just isn't as enjoyable.

Yep, sailing a shot way across the screen and nailing a target and ricochet shots are really fun to execute. I also like lobbing one straight up and leading the enemy to follow me so it strikes him dead on the way down. :) The M79 has its issues, but it can be played skilled just as any weapon.

Also, the chance of that the barret will boost away the EFC is non existing!!...

I cant count how many times dedicated m79ers blasted the EFC away...

I usually end up using the barret more, but not by much.  I just like to because it can be offensive or defensive.
