MK17

[ehaugw]

Hey people, I just wonder how you guys are customizing your MK17s?

Personally, I run it with the TA31H, a long barrel, big mag, silencer and a grenade launcher. It really lacks handeling, but if I made it a pure sniper without launcher, big mag and silencer, it is IMO weaker than the real snipers, because the only advantage left is a higher ammo pool.

What do you guys think?

Not using this. Prefer Tar-21

And honestly, since most people are running a sniper rifle, they dont need their AR as a LONNNNNG range weapon. So using a ACOG is more than enough.

You can also run a G28 or SR-25 as a rifle and then equip whatever you want as scope on it.

I use a SMG as my secondary, so my MK17 has to cover long range and medium range. I dont know what difficulty you are playing at, but at the highest difficulty, a I think SMG is a must in CQB.

TBH, except for the anti material sniper, snipers are really not needed in this game. I made a virtual representation for bullet drop on MK17, I can headshot any target that is standing still up to 500 meters. At 500+ I would probably use a weapon with more zoom and less bullet drop, but that is not needed in this game.

I use tar for cqb and it works fine on extreme plus hti to snipe and destroy jammers. To loud stuff like radios mg121 I think its the name of lmg I use.

1) Why would you use TAR and HTI? TARs main strength is the penetration, which isnt a problem when you got HTI.

2) What do you do when you get caugh off guard by a LMG dude who is already aiming at you? Is TAR fast enough to kill him before he kills you?

Ps. I am not trying to critisize you, I just want to know the ideas behind your "build" :)

Mk 17 is my main weapon with silencer accuracy config. MK 48 and HTI are my secondarys.

I play and always played extreme difficulty. I play a Mk14 as sniper and a tar21 or the sasg12 with suppressor.. I don't think assault rifle were meant to be long range gun else why do snipers exist?

I much prefer the Mk 14 with the G28 Scope. I get better pen than the Mk 17, better long range performance thanks to less bullet drop, retain full auto when needed, and get to combine all that scope that gives me the flexibility of having a red-dot sight and a 5x zoom. Only thing it lacks is a grenade launcher, which I don't find myself missing anyway.

Usually have it paired with the SPAS-12 for fights that happen under 70m.

That said, when I do use the Mk.17, it's usually built towards CQC with short barrel, folded stock, and a strong emphasis on handliing, since handling influences your recoil, bloom, aim speed while aiming, and reload speed. Usually pair it with a sniper rifle or LMG.

I am new here, and didn't figure out how to quote, so deal with it :)

@<.GP: MK17 isn't really an assault rifle, but an highly accurate battle rifle, which are made for longer distances. As I said, I can headshot stuff up to 500 meters, so the answer to your question is:

"I can still oneshot targets at 500 meters range, I got more ammo, and I can full fire full auto for 75-150 meters range, and I got launchers to effectively take out groups of enemies, vehicles and objectives. I really can't see why I should not do that."

@TheGrimCorsair: That is some strong points, I will try the MK14 :)
