YouTube - Strongest Gun in the world

ak47 is fine as is. if your having trouble with scrakes, carry a katana + your rifle. =)
he said rifle not gun
and with your video you're comparing the elephant gun to the ak47 assault rifle???
thats like comparing the ak47 to the hunting shotty in this game

and its true in a way what he said
the ak47 does fire the 7.62.39mm bullet which has serious stopping power
but then again this is a videogame!

Obvious Troll is obvious

This is getting tiresome, most of the content on this forum consist of people calling other people trolls, not realizing that by generating such no-content trash posts they themselves become trolls.

Reign it in people, more content per post ratio and lose the vacuous labels already.

AK-47? Most...powerful...rifle...in the world?

LOL

LOLOLOLOLOL

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Are you expecting the AK to turn you into an unstoppable war machine?? It's just a slightly more powerful bullpup.

I cant believe im going to dignify this with a response but come on kid, seriously? You said its useless against scrakes lol...i havent played commando for a month just because it was too easy for a while(and i play suicidal only). Learn to dump 2 clips into the scrake with bullpup(land every shot), finish off with like 15 bullets of AK and he should be done...unless you dont land your shots. You also said you run out of ammo, lol the bullpup is 150bucks...stock up. Use ak for the bigs and the clumps, also aim over the right shoulder of scrake (for now, dont know after 22nd) and you should get headshot damage, this is huge with the AK. Commandos are the budget class, you should be able to stock weapons easy...also put some distance inbetween you and the scrake (enough distance so when he charges you can get 20 bullets off with the ak). This wasnt supposed to be a guide but oh well!:D

Dont feed the troll,

No, seriously, dont feed it.

I mean it, DO NOT FEED THE TROLL

Oh well, my 2 cents. If you dont like it, dont use it. No one force you to carry a katana on your back, shoot the LAW by your left hand while reloading the hunting by your right hand. If you feel Sharpshooter is over powered, go play it. I'm ok with that.

Pro tip: AK helps quicker reload, not increase damage.

To other, proof of this troll, http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showpost.php?p=497498&postcount=1

And look at this,
I was quite disapointed when the anticipated AK47 was released.

Pop quiz, how long does it take for an average person to complain about something they dont like?

We also have a oracle, people:
So please fix this because the addition of the SCAR wont help the commandos firepower besides a tactical approach in which proves useless when firepower is needed when you have 300+ zombies and limited ammo for spamming.

What a stupid suggestion, 2 scrakes like that and you are out of ammo....

You DO realize that the FN SCAR Mk. 17 Mod 0- perhaps better known as the SCAR-H- that is being added to the game uses the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge right?

EDIT: My apologies for continuing to provoke the troll. Just thought I'd make that point.

- gorefasts get decapitated by an AK and yet they still come towards you to slice you up... now in real life, a shot with the AK47(most powerful rifle in the world) anywhere would literally put you down - immobilized.

The new SCAR:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_SCAR[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_SCAR[/URL]

(the bottom one)

It fires this ammunition:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62x51mm_NATO[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62x51mm_NATO[/URL]

This ammunition has a muzzle energy of 3,352 J.

This is what this round does to ballistics gel:
YouTube - 308 vs Ballistic Gel

For comparison the AK-47's 7.62x39mm ammunition carries 2059J of muzzle energy at the most.

Also note that the new M14 EBR coming in the new patch will also fire the 7.62x51mm NATO round, same as the SCAR.

And if you play Red Orchestra, virtually every rifle in the game, SVT, G43, Kar98k....they all fire more powerful rounds, like the 7.92x57mm Mauser, which carries over 4000 J of muzzle energy. It's just really strange to see someone who thinks an intermediate assault rifle cartridge with an overblown reputation would be the "most powerful rifle in the world."

Even the .500 S&W Magnum, a pistol cartridge (albeit a ridiculous one)
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.500_S%26W_Magnum[/URL]
Can carry over 4000 J of muzzle energy, which is over twice that of the AK-47.

Just for reference, by the way, this is the most powerful rifle I've ever seen in my life. Keep in mind the AK-47 cartridge has 2000 J of muzzle energy.

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20mm[/URL]

As an example, the 20x102 has a 100 gram bullet fired at a muzzle velocity of 1,035 m/s (3395 ft/s). For a simple slug round this is a muzzle energy of 53,600 joules (or 39,500 ft

No, I'm talking about ballistics generally, terminal ballistics refers to what the round does when it hits something.

Ballistics=behavior of a projectile.

Energy= (1/2)mass*(velocity^2)

Has nothing to do with hitting something, this is muzzle energy.
