With their lower rate of fire and reload issues, you'd be silly to choose a rifle with realism on. I like the idea of weapon limiting since that would reign in the craziness that realism brings about.

75 yards is a lot?

it's only 3/4 of the way up a football field.


contrary to what movies would have you believe firefight occurred between 50-300 yards (which is why everyone switched to assault rifles after WWII, and why modern training focuses on firing at targets between 50 and 300 yards)

I have to disagree with you on rifles, on stock rifles were even more useless because you often needed a second shot to finish the enemy (3 shots for garand) and a player using a shitgun only had to fire one shot while facing 30 degrees away from you hake:

damn, I really wish I had the edit button.

Actually the problem with realism is not the power of the weapons but the recoil.

A BAR and a Garand or Springfield are all just as powerful and accurate, if teh BAr man uses single shots, if however a BAR man fires without a bipod on full auto he wil quickly find himself sniping at invisible Messerschmidts biggrin:
