It's not meant to be dead on accurate. A sniper rifle is one shot, one kill. This is more for taking out someone in a building, laying down some SERIOUS suppressing fire, taking out lots of enemies, and basically saying "mine is bigger, get outta here." But these are accurate, yes.
@Agendaman2 Yeah that was my thinking, it can bring serious heat and hold down a position, but it doesn't deserve to be known as"best weapon" surely?I'd take 1 shot, 1 kill any day of the week, but I get the point of a weapon like this, psychological edge and effective against many targets.To be honest I'm not even complaining about the title, I was pretty delighted to see this video up, seeing as I actually did a search for this weapon in the hopes I could get a look at one in action. Cool gun
All depends on what the situation calls for. I'd rather have one of these in my convoy of humvees and a few Ma Deuce's. Superior fire power is in quantity of lead you're slinging. Haha so the MK19 is something that you just gotta have :3
@Agendaman2 True, in Iraq and Afghanistan the US forces have been hugely outnumbered regularly but because they keep their attackers heads down with the fire they can bring to bear they've been able to overcome much larger forces. Even the difference between having an ACOG and a weapon that can support high rates of fire vs the AK which has low accuracy in large bursts. The M2 is legendary, in use for decades and still kicking ass, that and this mk19 would make an intimidating tag team I agree
It cant be that accurate though right? I'd have thought a good sniper with a .50 cal would get more kills than someone on one of these
