Long Arm Effectiveness

Each weapon proficiency has it's own capability to kill Longarms.

Melee: Katana, Battle Axe, Dusk Razor, Grinder... but I think you should try and keep things stealthy if you have Melee.

Pistols: Deagle, Dusk Enforcer, SW 500, Raging Bull

Rifles: Dragunov is somewhat decent, but I think only one worth it is VSS Vintorez. The advantage to rifles is, it's a lot of power early on, but not so many majorly powerful guns. Well, the Gauss Rifle is fairly effective, but I highly doubt Rezno will ever put it up to be copied.

Shotguns: Protecta, USAS-12, and I heard the semi-autos worked well until you had 5+ sprinting. Saiga-20 also works well with Instant Reload.

Small Machine Guns: HK UMP, Thompson, K-50M

Heavy Machine Guns: FN Minimi, FN MAG, M60, GAU-19, and some say the AK-47/FN FAL does a good job.

Grenade Launchers: With 110+ Reload, any of them is efficient for grinding longarms... from the safety of behind a counter. But with an XM25, you're fine anywhere.

*Noms Jarki as his way of saying "Thanky!"*

mmm... VSS..
*drools over his shirt*

You know Jarki, there's a bit more potential for this post. It would be interesting to see
how many hits it takes to down a Longarm with these weapons. Granted you wouldn't
be able to use all of them yourself, but perhaps you could gather information from people
who do?

I can actually figure all that out, if you give me time.

Cool, I eagerly await your results.

any 7.5 round takes 3 crits, 5.5 takes 5 crits i believe, katana and Baxe take 3 crits, amp takes 3 crits, unsure of the VSS and the RB because of the recent changes in their damage.

Not true.

Multiple guns have different values attatched to them.

Also, certain guns never crit, etc.

yeah, 7.5 and 5.5 i listed was for rifle. figuring out the crits and hits with HMG's and SMG's wouldnt be very practical

SMGs, would work if we said "usually around.."

Same with HMGs. Shotguns.

Certain Rifle values, such as Dragunov, have reduced damage for 7.5mm or 5.5mm.

Raging Bull, has increased .50 damage. As does SW 500. As does Dusk Enforcer.

It's very complicated.. I'll just work with Crynsos on this, later.

RB had its damage slightly nerfed i think. USAS supposedly got nerfed in combat.

Yes, they did.

But RB still has a gigantic damage boost. The nerfs didn't do very much, at all.
