What weapon did you unlock and why?

[Komradkyle]

its your first rank. Thanks I'm definiately getting the shotgun, and yeah you guys are exactly right. The l8 scope is like worthless what a stupid scope its like a hair pin. Most of my kills are strike at karakand forward base medic with AK. Thats the quickest way to rack up points and all. So yeah AK with medic. Sometimes sucide missions with nades work as well. Question: For the explosive badge is it only with c4 or can you use mines and claymores?

[SwiftGuard]

Well, grenades and claymores are explosives, as are C4's. So I guess it doesn't matter, but I'd use C4, just to make sure. Oh, and my the next rank up for me is Private First Class, do I get to unlock a weapon then, or do I have to wait for the next rank?

[OneTinSoldier]

I think you have to wait until your are a Lance Corporal. I made it to Lance Corporal and that's when I finally got the option to unlock a weapon.

[Trojanman190]

To get explosives you can use AT mines, C4, or claymores. You need 15 kills in one round to do it.

[Komradkyle]

damn thats hard

[Andrizzle]

I unlocked the L85A1 because it is very accurate. I also like the med. kit because it is awesome for getting points, sometimes up to 40 Teamwork points in one round if it is in a map like Strike on Karkand(sp?).

If I had the choice, I'd get the 50 Cal M92. That thing is the only decent sniping rifle and it's fun to use in Oman.
Second choice would be the G3. For the lack of ammo, it sure is the most powerful assault.
That's bout it really. I cant stand the jackhammer: the G36's power is weak and the RPD is a waste (It's a bunch of crap: the nations normal assaults are better then it, look at the M249.) and that bad shotgun replacement for AT instead of a nice MP5... I don't want to have a ultra-crappy gun EA!

I unlocked the Barret 50.cal M92 thing.

I love sniping, but was dissapointed to find that in BFHQ's description, it says "Damage: Very High", whereas the default US sniper rifle says "Damage: High" but both still take 2 shots to kill an enemy.

I think though, that the barret can shoot through helicopter cockpit glass etc, killing the pilot or driver.

I wish i'd chosed the G36C or whatever (the spec. forces one)

[DeathHawk]

i could of sworn i'd posted here,oh well

i went for the DAO-12 and glad i did, the thing kicks ass(until you meet some bunnyhopping reatard at least)

Next on my list though is the L85A1. After taking one from a dead medics hands I can't wait to unlock it.

Yeah, it can. One time, I was in a blackhawk waiting for passegers, an I got sniped through the glass. That kind of pissed me off, so I found the sniper and shockpaddled him.

And I think it does do more damage, but still not enough for a 1 shot kill, for some reason...
