The many modes of the M8

[#1 Sniper]

This applys more to CA but if u want to improvise you can use these on S3
there are 4 modes of the M8 in real life: Light-Machine Gun, Sub-Machine Gun, Assault Rifle, and Sniper Rifle as most of you know; but you can use those modes on CA an S3 and heres how

LMG: u use one of these 3 accessories Red Dot, Bipod 1, Extra clips in any combination you want in order to have a LMG

Assault Rifle: u can use almost all but i dont usually use these Low Scope, Medium Scope, and Bipod 1

Sniper Rifle: pretty much all you do is not use the ZX25 or GL-36

Sub-Machine Gun: All I use is the Red dot wirh any of the suppresors or Extra Clips

As you can tell some of the stuff kind of "overlaps" the other modes accessories like how on all 4 modes u can use the Red Dot with Extra Clips and i noticed that but they are technically diff modes in my mind. I hope you know how versatile the M8 is now since you read this.

Couldn't you do this with any assault rifle to take advantage of this supposed 'versatility?'

Who the heck uses the M8 i think that is seriously the worst gun in the game. i wish you could put a front grip on it - i personally like stg and the Ra front grip laser i go for accuracy- although i think sometimes it depends on the person i think if u use a un-accurate and u dont have good accuracy it just might make a good combo for u...lol

Hell if i need a gun to snipe with i grab a sniper and if i need a gun to fight close quarters with i grab something that is accurate and has a good rate of fire its simple -that is why we play as a team some snipe some run in gunners -

yeah...why would you use the m8 "machine gun" mode when you can just pick up a real machine gun? lol

[Leeroy.]

Some poeple can use that thing, I can't, but the guys who do are deadly. I think theres some kind of secret or something someone's not telling me

Soprano could use that piece of crap. I use it just to kill people with a crappy gun, it's kinda likc pistol whipping someone and you have an automatic.

Are you all serious? The M8 is the best gun on the game. It is extremely lethal and accurate. It also ha the ability to be outfitted with every accessory available. I love this gun and you all would to if you just gave it a chance.

Really? How about the front grip and high scope...the 2 best attachments in the game in my opinion. Thats why i stick w/ the IW80 for those attachments. I dont really think that in socom the m8 is much more versitile then other guns in the game. Lets compare...
IW-80 attachments
-High scope
-Med scope
-Low scope
-4x scope
-supressor 1
-supressor 2
-Front Grip
-Rifle Laser
-Red Dot Scope

M8 attachments
-Supressor 1
-Supressor 2
-Bipod
-Med Scope
-Low scope
-4x scope
-Red dot scope
-Extra Clips (Combined Assault)
-(GL and Airburst)<--and you cant even use these in the majority of rooms

Lets see here...that makes 9 attachments for the IW-80 and 8 (for CA and not counting ranged explosives) for the M8. So thats 1 more attachment avaliable for the IW than the M8 including 2 key attachments for any run and gunner, the front grip and the rifle laser...I rest my case

OWNED!

Owned? No, owned would be killing 6 guys with a M8 no attachemnts. IWs are for people who are lazy lol, PUMP ALL THE WAY!
