As originally posted by <~Sypher~>, whom I give all credit for the list, here it is. (I made this post so I could sticky strictly the list, without all the other comments.)
Here is your list of compatible ammo. I was bored and it did not take much time.
I would like to thank DaKilla for turning this into a sticky so that it would be easier to find and so I could “rank up” my post count (joke) by replying to this.
now, to sticky this into my head so i know who to run over for ammo
i always just used the method of running over people for mines and kinda picking up ammo on accident... i dont mind it though
I hate to be the one to say this, as its my first post after a long time of lurking, but I do believe you can make another sticky very similar to this - in regards to "Strongest Gun" threads.
Now that you put it in front of everyone the caliber of ammunition in all of the guns in the game, they can see it. The sniper rifles, 1 shot kills, then you move to 12 gauges, which if you get shot you're dead. Obviously these guns both have their drawbacks, but they make up for it with more powerful ammo.
SASR is just weird. :)
But then you get the M40A1, the M14, the SR's, and the M60. The M60 is inaccurate as hell, but packs a large clip of very big bullets. The M14 only has the 20 round clip, so you're almost forced to carry more ammo and less gear, unless you fancy yourself as a MacGyver type. The M40 is a nice sniper rifle in the right hands. Any of these guns will lay you down in just two hits.
Then you get the RA-14, and the AK-47, not quite as powerful as the M14, but more accurate, and almost as powerful. They are more powerful than the IW, STG, M4A1's, the 552's, and the M16, but just barely. The STG (like many have said) is basically an IW or RA-14, without the pure accuracy. It's close. Everyone knows the M4A1 is right up there, and there's lots of M16 users. Only downside to the M16 is it only being semi-auto, so some people won't use it. M63 wildly innaccurate, like the M60, with smaller ammunition.
The only thing wrong with the IW is that the makers of the game made it unrealistically accurate to be true to life. Because the guns ammunition really IS that strong. I don't have the exact data or name on the gun right now, but I believe it's made by Enfield.
This is also why, when you default into a terrorist game and you have the 552, you don't do badly if you hit your shots. It's slower, but it's got the same power as the M16.
AK-105 and AKS-74 next. The weaker AK's, most would agree that they have superior accuracy to their brother AK-47. Most would also agree they aren't quite in the same class powerwise as an M4A1, an IW, or an M63A.
The pistols and subs are easy.. the DE isn't quite as accurate as the other pistols, but it's way stronger with its 50 cal. The F57 doesn't pack as much of a punch, and is almost as innaccurate. And then lo and behold, it's the Mark's and the SP-10.
All the rest of the guns are for the brave and skilled obviously as they are the weakest guns in the game.
People get by with the HK's, and the F-90, and the 9mm sub - those are also usually the people that go 25-3 when you put a M14, IW, RA, or M4 in their hands.
I didn't want to just take the list and make another thread about this, but I'm sure if you think that might not be bad idea - you're the site admin and could move this just fine. :)
Great site, sorry it took me so long to post, I just figured this would be a great answer to all of the "newb-cannon" posts.
Now that is a good list but (yeah LOL there is always a but to a reply) The AK 105 is listed on most Socom 2 websites (And I have to agree with them) The AK 105 (besides the sniper rifles) is the most powerful gun on the game.If used right 2 shots kills (I usually kill in one shot with it cause I am so used to it) It will shoot through outhouses and doors too.
i dont think there is really an all around gun for SOCOM
The case really depends on the person, are you good from afar, taking our enemy out with stealth? As it seems....a regular M4 would be much better than a HK5K to some, but to the right plyer an HK5K is exactly what they want, in my case an RA 14 is the perfect fit for me, nothing is betterin my eyes, but I see someone else pick it up and play horribly. the map is also sometyhing to take into account...is it more of a frostfire...where u might want an M4 or an AK for power and accuracy, or is it a sujo map, where terrorists want to pop around a corner and blast someone againt the wall aty point blank in one shot.
question 1: site admin.=administrator (more power)
Question 2: yes, SOCOM INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSE (below N. America)
Wrong.
Germans don't get the INTL server yet (I don't think...). DaKilla has an American Version of Socom II (NTSC) so he is able to play on the NA server. Even if he didn't, Germans can still play on Socom, just on a different server NA doesn't have.
Administrators have the most power of all, Mods 2nd, Graphics Staff 3rd, members last. DaKilla didn't create the site though, veins of ice did.
