STG 44 vs M1/M2 Carbine review

[Achi]

Based on the huge controversy about those weapons, I thought that these videos provide a pretty good and objective look at both weapons and how they compare to each other.

It depends on your preference. In short: both guns perform well at short and medium range, with the M1/M2 carbine being better at short range, due to its much higher rate of fire. It also takes less space, so you can equip anti tank charges (for example).
The STG has the advantage beyond ranges of 50 metres, due to higher damage retention of the bullet.
Bullet spread of both guns makes the addition of a scope unfit for long range shooting, but can improve their performance at lower ranges.

For a more in-depth info you will have to watch at least the first 3 minutes of each video.

great reviews, having a scoped m2 myself i can say it was dead on .

btw i made a thread on h&g forums about the price to maintain and buy the usa scope seems your not biased towards any faction so i could use your opinion on that.

the M1/M2 has a ridiculous high cost to maintain.. it doesnt worth playing with it AT ALL.. there are other weapons that can do better..

the StG is a great all around weapon with a decent maintain cost..

The scope is the price hammer on both weapons. I don't find it necessary on either the STG or the Carbine.

You are joking right ? I have spent 6K credits to maintain the M2 from the start of the ribbon up to ending the 12th class, unmodified of course and did a good job.

Aren't those weapons a little overpowered ? They render SMGs kinda obsolete...and same with SA rifles. I always grab one when I can and I feel like using a high-end killstreak in CoD.

The m2 have less accuracy then the smg's and less range then the sa rifles also its standard a 4 hit kill weapon the st44 is 3hil kill but have a lower rof and doing still worse in range then the sa rifles.

they are not so much op but more filling in a gap between ranges without being the best in any of them.

cant say for the st44 but for the m2 the scope is almost mandatory just to keep an eye out on your target while shooting just bc of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ iron sights.
