Do the R-DEV's get any share of this, because they're the one's who will accept it, right? What's their thought of this?

What we have to remember is that the "sniper" is a special kit, it have a special weapon and special equipment. The sniper will use the M82 cause it can take down special targets that the other kits doesn't have the chance to do. All the Norwegian "sharpshooters = sniper/marksman" use different weapons, some of them use HK 417, M82 and other weapons. I was watching a post on Forsvaret.no | _Utvalgt.no a web page for the Norwegians that have to serve mandatory military service (pass worded page). On that page some one had asked what "snipers" we use. The officer that answered the question told, that the MN 149 will be removed, and they will use M82, HK 417 etc instead.

The HK 417 use the same caliber as the G3 if I'm not wrong, so we will use that one as marksman and M82 as our special sniper kit...

After a bit of searching around, I found this: http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f275...tml#post870998

Note the Marksman/Sniper suggestions.

Never mind that some of the classes are outdated, though.

all current sniperrifles in PR use 7,62 which is the caliber of the G3, and HK417 as well, the difference is just, which kind of bullets is used (snipers are using heavier bullets)

But why do the Norwegian Forces need a heavier caliber sniper rifle, while all the other factions are using 7.62 rifles? And what are those 'special targets'? I don't think the sniper is supposed to have an anti-material role in PR. The AWM (also in use with NF, afaik) would do the job of killing inf. at long range just as well, wouldn't it? And, of course, this weapon will attract a lot of nubs, no doubt. The idea of running around with a .50 cal sniper rifle (and also the fact that it'll be the only one in PR) will make them go all nuts, and do whatever they can to get that rifle. Why do you want the M82 so badly, if you're the only faction who wants to use it.

This is the only faction who will use it but that does not mean this is the only faction who wants to use it.

The thing is that we want some variation from others, whats the point with different forces/factions if they all use the same gear?

the 50. cal sniper isn't that special, the only bonus is that you can kill peoples easier in vehicles, and its better on the Norwegian maps, where we have huge open "snow" fields etc.

I can still not understand why so many dislike the rifle? its well used in HV and panser bataljonen etc.(Norwegian home guard, and the Armour battalion).

Shall we just leave the weapons cause someone are n00bish and doesn't can play the game? To say it like that, the MGs are away more effective and "overpowered" than the snipers on PR, I use to call the MG "automatic sniperman"

hence, let Pleym and the rest of the NF-team have this discussion with the DEVs then.
This is a showcase-thread, and not for a thread for an open discussion.
