Only truthful weapons tier list.

[CaNp0G]

Weapons are arranged in order, even inside tiers. Also, cost effectiveness is considered.

S-tier
1. M16 Carbine GL variant - Semi-auto, full-auto, blow enemies up, put flares in the sky at nighttime. What can you not do with this? Expensive af with the nades but so versatile it deserves S.

2. AK-74 GL variant - Same reasons, but soviets have full auto even on their default rifle so it's less cool. Also, they only have a frag and a flare instead of americans' two HE nades and all the flare colours. I like the AK's GL sights a bit more but anyways.

3. PKM - Just demolishes everyone in its way, recoil isn't insane even while standing and hip fire is ok at short range. Loses pretty much all recoil if rested on tripod, especially prone. 7.62 goes through vehicles and americans like a railgun through butter. Fires fast and has plenty of ammo if you don't just spray around like an idiot, and instead fire short bursts.

4. SA-58V - The everonian chad rifle is an AK-74 but obviously better since it fires 7.62 like a true gigachad weapon. Also you can get it for free after looting the bodies of the vanquished after glorious battle against the AI. The true spoils of war.

A-tier
1. AK-74 - You get it for free when spawning. It has full-auto.

2. M21 - A bit better than the SVD imho because the scope can zoom way farther. If you know how to rangefind with the scope and can snipe, you can hit your targets all the way from a couple hundred meters to even as far as 1 km away.

3. RPG-7V1 - Easy to aim, can blow up vehicles easily and can be reloaded. Overall really damn good.

4. M60 - Similar to the PKM but feels a bit clumsier and it shoots slower. The slower RPM can be a good thing tho if your trigger finger is itchy. Overall a really, really good weapon for mowing down a squad or two of soviets.

5. M16 carbine - A bit better than the AK since you can put better optics on it but costs supplies (plus said optics) and you have to take it out of the arsenal.

6. SVD - A good DMR with a scope fitted with an easy to use rangefinder. Harder to shoot as far as with the M21 but usually that's not even a problem. Sometimes the extra zoom on the M21 comes in handy though.

B-tier

1. M249 SAW - It doesn't do as much damage as the M60, but fires a lot faster (in good or bad) and has double the ammo. Better than the M60 in spraying around some sustained fire, but those shots don't do as much, especially since this game for some silly reason doesn't have a suppression effect (sigh). So rather use the M60 for some actual killshots.

2. AKS-74U - It's kinda neat for urban combat and not bad for other ranges but that's about it. It costs supplies and usually you're just as fine with an AK. Looks cool af tho.

3. Both pistols - Unironically good. You can kill people just fine with them and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If you have decent aim and a fast trigger finger you can delete any pesky enemies trying to sneak up on you while for example sniping. That being said I only use a pistol when my primary is a DMR since with the M21 you can't see ♥♥♥♥ at close range through the scope and with SVD sure, you can look under the scope in ADS but it's kinda bad.

4. LAW - It's here just because it's pretty much the only reliable anti-vehicle the US has. The fact that the sights are so horrendous and you can only shoot once would otherwise land it in low C to D tiers.

C-tier

1. RPK with scope - It's an AK with a bipod. Not bad but it's expensive and you could just use a real machine gun like the PKM. Unlike the PKM, it does have the scope on though.

2. AK-74 with scope - You usually really don't need it so it's kinda just wasting supplies. If you actually can shoot and also slap a suppressor on it, it slaps sure.

3. M16 vanilla - It's not bad but it's really not good either. Could've put it a bit higher because it's free but man it's kinda one of those guns that's just there. Could actually be worth something if full-auto spray while standing wasn't like a laser and you had to go semi-auto. Also, a balance of aimed/massed fire via semi-auto is also kinda useless because again, no suppression.

D-tier

RPK - Why would you use this? It's a more expensive AK (AK-74 and AKS can also use the extended mags) and a worse PKM.

where is uk-59?

[vanvan]

the FIA assault rifle is definitely a gigachad choice, chambered in the old school 7.62x39
it also looks aesthetic as hell, based of a czech real life rifle of the era that looks like an ak but is quite definitely not one

[Dude]

Don't need none of that ♥♥♥♥ just give me a silenced ak and a rpg with two rockets, like 10 grenades and I can goto work.


Silenced M16, but with extra nades no launcher because f the LAW for when I play American team
