EAsTon's weapon ratings

These are my ratings of all the weapons in Socom3. I will rate them from 1 to 10. Fell free to discuss your opinions about my ratings and fell free to leave your own ratings.

SEALs

M4A1 8/10
Offers good attachments and has good range. It has a good amount of recoil to it but it still has decent accuracy. Has a pretty fast rate of fire and can hold its own in any gun battle. I would use this if you havn't unlocked the IW-80 A2.

M8 7/10
The M8 is a fairly good weapon. It is the only weapon in the game to offer the airburst attachments and is almost has perfect accuracy when you are prone with the bipod attached to it. It has a very fast rate of fire and when in a gun fight it seems to spray a bit. The M8 is also very lightweight so you'll be able to carry extra stuff with you.

M14 7/10
This is a solid rifle. Its the only assault rifle in the game to have all the scopes availble. Great rifle to snipe with and has good range just a bit shorted than the M16. It has a fast rate of fire, about the same as the M4A1. It seems to spray a bit while standing and crouching.

HK36 8/10
This is a great weapon. Offers many attachments. It has a good fire rate and it has good accuracy, the recoil is pretty low. The HK36 also offers a 2 round burst mode, i use it when im sniping to keep the recoil down.

IW-80 A2 9/10
Not as dominating as it was in Socom2 but its still a great weapon. Its range is about the same as the M14's and its very accurate. Has a good amount of recoil but it keeps a lot of its accuracy.

HK5 8/10
This is the better of the two SMGs on the SEAL side. It has the least spray for a SMG and offers a good amont of attachments for a SMG. It has the slowest fire rate for a SMG but its also the only SMG to have a 3 round burst mode.

HK7 6/10
Pretty much the same thing as the F90 in fire rate and accuracy but the the clip is only 20 rounds compared to the F90's 50 round clip. If you get into a gun fight you'll probally get shot while re-loading unless you get a lucky head shot.

M4-90 7/10
This is a good shotgun. It has a faster fire rate than the 12g pump, the downside is that it has less bullets in a clip.

MK.48 9/10
This is the best machine gun in the game. It offers the most attachments for a machine gun. Its the most accurate machine gun but it has massive recoil. Use this gun when you're going to blast down a hallway useing its 100 round clip. Be careful when everyone is useing the MK, it causes some pretty good lag.

SR-25 7/10
The SR is the silenced sniper rifle on the seal side. This is better than the SASR because ir offers more scopes. This sniper rifle takes two shots to kill if not in the head. When you use a silencer with the SR its range will drop just a little so it might take 3 shots to kill.

M87ELR 9/10
This is my favorite gun in the whole game. This is the gun to quick snipe with on the SEAL side. 90% of the time its a 1 hit kill. It offers all scopes.

M40A1 8/10
The M40 has almost no recoil when sniping. Its a 2 hit kill and it's the ultimate practice gun for quick snipers. It has every scope except for the high scope.

9mm 6/10
This gun is an ok pistol. It has the same fire rate as the 226 but it only has 9 rounds compared to the 15 in the 226. If you're good with a pistol use this, if not go with the 226 or Mark.

226 8/10
Just like a 9mm with more rounds. Less re-loading means a better chance to win a gun fight so I would rather take this instead of the 9mm.

Mark 23 10/10
This is a super strong pistol. It holds 12 rounds and its usally a 2 hit kill, sometimes three. You can go toe to toe with assault rifles when useing this.

Terrorist

552 8/10
Very powerful and very accurate sums up the 552. Its has little recoil and a 3 round burst mode. Many attachmeants are avalible for the 552. I recomend this gun if you have not unlocked the Stg yet.

AK-47 7/10
Decent gun with some stengths. It has a bunch of recoil when fireing normally but in scope made there is hardly any recoil. Its lightweight but it sprays a lot of bullets.

AG-94 8/10
This is kind of like the AK but it has absolutly no recoil. In scope made the crosshairs hardly move. When fireing normally it has a bunch of spray. The Ag also has a 2 round burst mode.

STG 77 10/10
My personal favorite assualt rifle the Stg is an all a round great weapon. Great accuracy, Good rate of fire, Low recoil, and many attachments. This gun can do it all and is definitly worth beating single player to get this.

RA-14 8/10
1 step down from the Stg but its a good gun. Offers many attachments and has little recoil. It does spray just a bit but its still pretty dang good.

F90 7/10
The unoffical "noob" gun of Socom3. I think the F90 sprays so much that the user gets lucky head shots on you. It only offers a silencer but it has a built in red dot witch I have used on maps like fault and citaldel. I say this gun is over-rated but its the best SMG on the terrorist side.

9mm sub 6/10
Ok SMG, good on tight maps. This SMG takes the term "spray to a whole new level. With this you'll most likely get a head shot but without getting called a "noob".

TA 12 Gauge 8/10
I give this one point higher than the M4 just becuase it holds 12 rounds instead of 8. Other than sound everything is pretty much the same.

ATK-74 7/10
Not a real good machine gun but its decent. It only has 45 rounds compared to the 100 in both the M60 and Mk. Less attachments than the Mk and sprays a bit more. Overall its an ok weapon but if you're going to use this I would suggest to just go for the AK-47.

SASR 6/10
This is the silenced sniper rifle for the terrorist side. It has less scopes, no bipod, and seems to have a little more recoil and less accuracy than the SR-25. The range is the same as the SR but if you're useing this and know someone on the SEAL team is useing the SR I would go after it instead of useing the SASR.

M821A1 9/10
Other than looks and sound this the same thing as the M87.

F57 7/10
Decent pistol with good accuracy and just a little slower fire rate than the 226. It has Ok power for a pistol and in use by someone who is good with psitols you'll be fine with this.

Model 18 8/10
This pistol is like a mini SMG. Its the only pistol that has full auto and on maps like fault and antenora you can do pretty good with it. When on full auto is sprays like a B!tch but on single shot it's very accurate.

DE.50 7/10
The DE is the most powerful pistol in the game. With its power it also fires very slow and it only has 7 rounds in a clip. Its also the only pistol without a silencer.

Terrorist and SEALs

M16A2 8/10
Great at long ranges, kind of like a mini sniper rifle. Has most scopes avalible. Has good accuracy because it only has single shot and 3 round burst, no full auto.

12 gauge pump 6/10
Has a little less fire rate than the TA and M4, other than that it's pretty similar.

M60E3 5/10
Only 1 attachment and thats the bipod for this machine gun. Its Ok for cleaning out hallways and such but doesn't have the fire rate or attachments than the other machine guns. It also sprays very very much unless you have a bipod and are going prone.

L96AW 6/10
Think of this as a M87 or M82 with more accuracy, less recoil, and less power. This sniper rifle is a two shot kill most of the time.


Let me know what you think. Give your opinions on the weapons and the job i did.

That's great but it is your opinion. I think the M8 should be 8/10...try it with a red dot only. This is a cool thing but watch out for haters! IMO the IW is greater than the STG because it can have a Highscope and silencer.

HK36 is a awsome weapon. It's very fast and brutal with front grips and wiithout. It accualy makes a nice little sniper rifle if you get good headshots, one shot one kill, like IW of course but waaaaaay lighter and I think thats the key to this weapon. Some told me that its weak, and maybe it is compared to 552 and IW and STG, but I have more kills comeing around for brutal battles like Citadels hallways then i do the STG, but thats prolly just my play style.

I love Shotguns, but wish they were waaay more powerful. Now some will say "Dude, you get knocked down your dead!!" Nah not realy, many times ive knocked a guy down and his budy wiped me, or in rare cases the guy accualy killed me while he was on the ground. And Slug realy realy realy needs to be one kill like a sniper rifle, I mean its almost as hard to get the kill if not harder.

K im done, nice stuff Poster, but I would have ranked the 9MM a little higher, for its a sweet up in your face gun.

That was nice analysis, and I appreciate your opinions, but its not like everyone just got the game yesterday, or they have not tried all the weapons yet. My point is that while a good read none of the info was earth shattering IMO

I'd give the RA 9.5/10 and the STG a 9/10
I still think the RA is a better weapon , people just tend to use the STG more because the RA's looks are just awful...that why it gets 9.5
