I use them all depending on the situation but the l96a1 is what i use the most. The dragunov is great for close quarter maps like Karkand, but I don't have much success with it at 150m+ I reckon the type 88 is a better choice for semi-auto long range shots because of the sights it has. Its great fun killing chopper pilots and drivers with the Barrett as well as destroying annoying enemy UAVs. It'd be a great touch if you could damage the avionics of jets by firing into the nose cone. The thick sights took some getting used to though. The m24 is a good allrounder, accurate and easy to use sights. The l96a1 is the best anti-personnel rifle, accurate and the razor-thin sights make long-range precision shots much easier.

I was a M24 / L96A1 / M95 (depending on map and mood) user for 1 year, always hated the SVD because of its scope, weak damage, inaccuracy (or so i thought), all those thoughts changed when i played the likes of Barrakuda a year ago he gave me a totally different mindset on how much better it is to become good with an SVD instead... it said to me only "Its the Sniper that makes the Snipe Rifle and that Rifle is the SVD".

M24/L96A1/M95 you fire off a shot and miss... then you wait for the slow bolt action, the stakes are to high if you miss.

But with SVD, the difference is that if you miss the target, it forgives you in 0.000001 seconds... giving you 9 more bullets to fire of in a matter of second / seconds leaves you always prepared to kill. Sure its weak, but when you think about it... even if it takes 3 shots to the body, it will STILL kill the enemy faster than the rest of the Sniper Rifles. If you are decent with it, those 10 bullets you have before reload can take out at least 3-10 people in a matter of 3 to 6 seconds.

I am equally accurate as i was with the M24 / L96A1... the accuracy & scope of the SVD is actually predictable, in time you will learn it and that time you will get much more kills and other Snipers (no matter what skill they have) are a piece of cake to kill depending on if he also uses the SVD. Takes time to get used to, yes the accuracy is statistically very slightly inaccurate over long range, but THATS IT.... in maps like Karkand its equally accurate as the rest of the Sniper Rifles in good hands and MUCH more deadlier.

The SVD is believe it or not the deadliest infantry weapon in this game... Mark my words, sooner or later you will figure this out.

Then.. what YOU prefer is up to YOU... :)
