In the AK first you choose the full auto and then the semi-auto.

Why not putting a Mk23 with silencer and the new HK416 carbine for the special forces class? I wish I knew how to do it.
A nice feature would be to remove the smokes from the spec ops and put there claymores but the player must place the like booby traps with tripwires.

Maybe a silenced GUA8 on the A10 and nuclear warheads on the mini rockets and sun glasses for the spec ops and scar lights and fast ropes for black hawks to make like movie black hawk down i see night yesterday and c130 in teh sky to shot teh insugrents + silencors 4 specsopz+ kikcin nades cause rambo duz it + jam1ng gUnz cuz durt in it + lazor bombz cuz IRL dey exists + hotwireng enehmy carz + silncor 4 sniper rifel cuz I sawz it in sHooter teh movei....

Although some people want it, somethings should stay in movies.

There is no problem in spawning with the weapon on Semi, since you can change it in a second. As Fuzz said, there'd be less Run'n'Gun!

Sniper kits shouldnt be obtained from RPs,like the H-AT.Because they are too powerful, in some maps even more powerful than HAts.: the guy you shot 50 secs ago spawns picks one of the most powerful/accurate rifles ever made and shoots you in the head by walking 20 meters away from his RP...

I suggested it because USSOCOM uses Mk23s mainly because of the .45 caliber and then the P226s. Also they now use the HK416s instead of the M4s and the new Scars have not arrived yet. Well its just a game.

Welcome aboard.

The 416 is in use on a trial basis with some USSOCOM units, but one unit has allegedly adopted it for wide issue.

As for the Mk-23, it was a disappointment that was designed by a committee that did not include any of its eventual operators. It was too big for most holsters even without the laser aiming module, and there wasn't any holster large enough to accept it with both the suppressor and LAM. And the barrel threads to accept the suppressor were threaded the opposite direction of the rifling, so you would slowly unscrew the suppressor as you fired it. In a couple of cases, the suppressor was actually shot off of the weapon during practice. One bona-fide operator on another forum I visit said that he had seen only one ever carried on a deployment, and the rest avoided them like a plague.

As for other .45 pistols, the Maritime Strike Force direct-action component (attached MSOB or Force Recon direct-action platoon) of a MEU(SOC) get the M1911 MEU(SOC) Pistol, which is assembled from military stock, commercial off-the-shelf and in-house, custom-made components by USMC Precision Weapons Armorers. Before the creation of MARSOC and the Marine Special Operations Battalions, the Marine detachment to USSOCOM (MCSOCOM Det 1), were issued a new M1911 near-match-grade pistol produced by Kimber, which they designated the ICQB (Interim Close-Quarters Battle) Pistol, since the MEU(SOC) Pistols are 20 years old. No information released on a further or wider issuing of the ICQB Pistol.

SFOD-D supposedly uses an in-house or commercially customized (Kimber or Wilson) M1911 variant, but what they actually use as their standard sidearm in various situations is their business, and nobody who has real, first-hand knowledge is (or should be) talking about it.

Yes I know about the 1911 line but this wasnt a reason that the member above had to attack me like this in my first post. Anyway, if we were real soldiers we were not playing this game-lol. Thanks for the welcome.
I would like to know if any class with binos can work as a spotter for a sniper. I have not tried it so far.

I have read in many different places that the Mk. 23 indeed is very unpopular in the USSOCOM community, but I seem to remember that in addition to the modernised 1911s (like Kimber/Springfield Arms/Wilson "Combat" mods etc.) special operators like the Heckler & Koch USP .45 (possibly the "Tactical" model), which is very accurate and powerful, while maintaining low weight, a large enough magazine capacity, an attachment rail (although sadly a custom one) and a threaded barrel for suppressor attachment. Do you know if this is true, Eddie?
