Rifle Laser: Does it do anything?

Trigga37 · 10-07-2006

I know the RL makes that big red dot on your crosshairs, but do you think it does anythign else? S*** If thats all it does that pointless. I can just as easily aim with the litle yellow dot. Does anyone know if it actujally helps your accuracy, not just help you 'be' more accurate? Any opinions? I know a lot of people use the M4 silencer RL combo, but i would rather have a front grip if the dot doesnt reallt help at all.

Yeah it helps your accuracy while in gunfights and while your moving. All the grip does is make your gun more accurate while standing still. Sometimes I use both for almost perfect accuracy.

In my unsupported opinon, Rifle Laser > Front Grip

you sure? Ive read several places the front grip reduces recoil in all situations, and i have heard that the rifle laser does nothing but cast that red dot. Idk though i have heard opinions from both sides, maybe we need to test it out.

No, I'm not sure. It could be in my head. But whenever I use a front grip it seems like I never hit where my crosshairs are. With a rifle laser I can get headshots alot easier.

Omega explained what each did awhile ago, I forget which goes to which, but..

One makes the gun have less recoil, which I think is the front grip. It's kind of pointless when you can aim with recoil anyway.

The other, makes the crosshairs get smaller quicker(smaller crosshairs=a lot more accurate).

Needless to say, a front grip/rifle laser combo on some guns is a really good choice.

If you were to use a silencer, go with the rifle laser.

Rifle laser + Front grip with any weapon capable of this combination is pure ownage. A rifle laser is the way to go with a silenced weapon.

I agree with focus. A rifle laser works wodners with a silencer, and you'll get lots of kills. But nothing is better in gunfights than a grip/laser combo.

The front grip does reduce recoil, which I THINK is the 'effect' of the crosshairs staying smaller, since it's largely due to recoil that makes your shot groups off in the first place...

Recoil is also where your crosshairs raise up everytime you shoot..

And looking back on it, I think the front grip reduces spray..although, judging from personal experience, it doesn't do much, only standing still or crouching still like Freed said.

So it depends on your play style for what you use..

Camp back with an SD, use a front grip..rush with an SD, use a rifle laser..or you can just what you prefer.
