I still can't believe there are still Threads like this being provided for people to answer. I've seen over 4-6 of them all describing which weapon is more capable of striking enemies down the best, and what attachments make it worth of better use. In my opinion, we should make another section on Socom III Forums for just weapon discriptions, and what attachments go well with whatever weapon you've personally chosen. What weapons are best to have available on any certain map, etc. (I think I'll post a Thread indicating that suggestion on the "Site Suggestions" section.) But, I'll answer this Thread since I don't have anything else that important to take care of at this moment in time. :smile: For myself, I would say both because, I like to use the STG-77 and the F90 when my M14 is down for a rest. Listed below are some extra information about the STG-77, and the F90. Maybe that can help you out on your choice of weapon a bit more?
