Most people seem to like the mauser. What are your thoughts on the power of the rifles, are they both the same, what about the recoil?

I can usually range and hit my targets just as well with the springfield as I do with the mauser. But I must admit I have a fondness for the Mauser, it just feels more comfortable and the sound of it firing is much more satisfying.

I thought that both sides only used 4x scopes?

I don't understand when i zoom in it usually takes one shot to kill an enemy, but if i do not zoom in it usually takes more than one shot, even if i shoot in a similar location on the enemies body.

Is this because i am missing or because zooming in makes the weapon more powerful?

Also - if everyone (most) prefer the mauser - why is there now a mod to make the springfield less effective in MP?

I never noticed this, maybe your aim isn't spot on. I have made plenty of unscoped one shot kills with KAR98-sniper.

Because some people don't like it when snipers kill them, solution: Bitch whine, then make mod to make every weapon less powerful except the one you regularly use.

I'm not a big fan of the Springfield '03. I can get off more shots quicker and more accurately with the KAR 98 Sniper Rife.

i prefer KAR98k sniper too, the 'T' crosshair does not block your view, and the sound is better than springfield. but i think the springfield has faster reload.

and the vertical line on the 'T' crosshair can even help you snipe in high ping condition sometimes. http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
