quick question about LSW

[[DVB] TRIggS]

First of all my favorite weapon. As i see it now, the LSW is the same gun that the rifleman uses with the same zoom, same sound, only a beter model and 6 less mags. I think the LSW should either get more zoom or increased mags, otherwise it is a cooler, limited version of the L85A1. Is there any difference between the LSW and L85A1 in game?

The LSW has a longer barral and possbly and small handle at the back.
IT is a variation of the L85/SA80 (whatever the name) line of weapons, same weapon (calibre, mag type ext.) but with few alterations, giving it a greater range.
I also think it uses the same SUSAT scope - therefore increased zoom is impossible.
But like all these weapons you can add different scopes - so if the LSW was equipted with a nice little thermal baby with extra zoom, that would be cool with me.

Although i have never used the PR version, want to, but i never really play any maps that have em.

@DEVs: "An Image Intensifier night sight, the CWS, has been produced for LSW, which gives excellent night vision out to 400m." = mabey, although it would not actualy make a sod of difference considering present night vision makes all scopes nightvision scopes........hmm

THe peeps who create that site i am damn sure, have never held a gun, "We believe that ..." - lol, they dont actualy know, it is possible we have tank but that cannot be confirmed - complete idiots.

I think its supposed to be more accurate than the standard L85A2 (due to the longer, heavier floating barrel) which is why it has fewer magazines. As previoulsy mentioned it can only use (in its current state, with a 19mm dovetail rail anyway) the SA80 Iron sights, SUSAT scope and CWS day/night sight. So properly "sniperizing" it to the level of say the SVD or Mk.12 is very trickey, and I would imagine that the DEVs are hesitant to give it more magazines becuase of the advantage that would have over other factions marksmen.

which gun are you talking about? Obviously brit...but which class?

[JellyBelly]

Marksman pick-up.

no, thats the L115

this is the SA80, LSW



Basicly the L85A2, with a longer barrel and bi-pod. Used as a DMR. Its the sniper request kit for the brits on urban maps, like street, thou at the moment the model is really small, needs a new import.

well it beats me to y the lsw is even under marksman and y the saw is even in the brits load out. the lsw should be under support, and the brits dont even use the saw....

Model has been tweaked for v0.5.

It is more accurate than the other L85 variants in game, but still fires a standard NATO 5.56 round, so doesn't have the stopping power of the 7.62 based sniper rifles.
