I don't play infiltrator, so my go-to class for SMGs is the LA. hope you guys like it I wasn't really too impressed with the PDW, but I got some nice clips here I think enjoy
its a jaguar that takes an extra bullet to kill. also it is a lot more silent when using silencer than carbines, which give a more distinct faction noise leaving you more likely to be noticed.
It's pretty self-explanatory that PDW is far from best for LA, non-NC at least. Doesn't mean it can't be used. I don't think freeze made this video cuz he thought "oh what an awesome weapon". Just to have some variety/new toys and to demonstrate gun's abilities. Edit: oh, you didn't bash the weapon down.
As a gun it self, it is pretty meh. However seeing that it might be the first bullpulp weapon in the game, I would like to see some more. Perhaps even a massive reduction to movement penalty on top of it as well.
Actually I just noticed that the smg isn't a bullpulp, the firing mechanism seems to be up front. Oh well, my I got my hopes up for nothing.
What's with people, bullpups, and the need to make them better than other guns just because they're the newest flash in the pan of the firearms world...?
Apparently you can breach a room better with a bullpulp since the barrel doesn't get in the way. That is what I heard anyway.
Well, they are pretty neat...shorter overall length for same barrel length...combining the function of a carbine and rifle Mostly I imagine its because they look cool Shrug
Just to have some variety. And bullpups are better. You can have same barrel length with more compact weapon and better located mass center, or you can have weapon of same length with longer barrel. More controllable recoil due to barrel being exactly against the shoulder, not higher. Should note that longer barrel doesn't always mean a better weapon, there's a thing called "optimal barrel length according to inner ballistics", so more often than not barrel length will stay the same. Ofcourse, there are disatvantages - less convenient reload, hard to use drum magazines, especially double drum ones, but that's more in the field of machine guns. You also have to keep mind that when picking a weapon to use in an army, the deciding factors are low cost and reliability. So even if bullpups are better overall weapon, military won't rearm itself cuz that would be very expensive. That's the main reason why army uses weapons several generations old.
That's the information I've got from reading books about weapons. It's not like I'm a professional soldier who used both of the weapon types in recent world conflicts Sure, I could be wrong.
