CKR 1.1 is better in this regard.
the STG is no longer the uber weapon.
and I don't know about others but I prefer Thompson at close range and Garand at long.

I can't quite see why, but even in stock mode of Spearhead the weapons don't work liek they do in stock MOHAA. maybe this is because of lag related glitches (due to playing on crap servers) but I've emptied a PPSH into people and they wouldn't die.
on other servers I owned with the bolt-action Mosin rifle.
