Default Sniper's weapons

Hi,

I just unlocked the l96A1 and the M95 rifles, and always play as sniper. I don't understand what's the differences between those two weapons ? I know one has more accuracy, and the other could do 95 percent damage. So if they both can one shot with a headshot, why choose the M95 ? Even if it make a lot of damage, if you miss the headshot with, it will have for reaction the enemy's escape, and if there isn't any friend to finish him and you miss him, it's useless. So won't it be better to always take the L96 as weapon, if your aim is to headshot the enemy ?

(Sorry for my bad english, i m French ), and thanks for help.

The M95 can penetrate glass, so you can snipe people out of aircraft, HMMV or Vodniks.

The L96A1 is a universal copy of the M24. It's just gives the MEC, and Chinese a better accuracy weapon.

I thought the L96A1 was a really good weapon with silencer and more accurate. Also doesn't it show u the horizontal thing and let u snipe moving targets easier?

If you're close enough, finish him off with your silencer. Anyway, m95 goes through glass but doesn't kill, so unless you're REALLY good, you're only bound to get those kills once in a blue moon. It's a waste of a round if you ask me. It's fun when it happens, but just not worth it. Better to have the accuracy and better scope. But it's nice to have options, and I think you have to unlock the m95 befor the other right?

Huh? It's not silenced. It seems very loud (and lifelike)

The L96A1 is loud, it makes a boom sound distinct from any other weapon. The crosshair is thin like the M24, except it only has left and right tick marks.

It's exactly the same as the M24 besides that. It does the same damage and has the same accuracy.

It sounds that way to you, but to everyone else, it's silenced. Ever notice you suddenly go down to two bars of health and don't hear anything? That's the L96A1.

the m95 is a true marksmen sniper weapon,in my opinion ive lost count of how many choopers ive shot down,not to mention poping drivers on the move

all the sniper weapons have advantages,but i prefer the flexibility of the m95.

giving that its as accurute as 1.12 m24 thats good enough for me,
just shooting cockpit glass is one thing but you do no that the bullit deviates when it hit the glass so a bit of fine tuning on you shot gives great result.

i got another 2 kills with 1 round from the m95 on a moving heli lastnight on sharki defending the flag on top a bulding,i never pass the chance to let rip on a heli.

head shots should be easyer with the m24/new sniper unlock,but thats not 100%garanteed i find in intense battles its easy to go for the torso and finish with pistol.

only go for a head shot on a prone sniper or if im caught short by infantry its my best chance of surviving.

best thing for you is to try them out and see whitch best fits youre needs for youre style of play.
