Lol in this game you can snipe people with the MP40...how exactly can you not snipe them with the semi auto rifle? What a silly argument. There's absolutely no need for a bolt action rifle for long ranged shots. The semi auto works EXACTLY the same. Even the Mkb can snipe people 300-400 meters away.
I'm sorry but it's quite tiring to hear this "you can snipe people with MP40" nonsense in this community over and over. It really makes me feel like these people never even use MP40, they just think you can "snipe" people with it because they occasionally get killed by it at a significant distance.
Have you tried "sniping" someone with the MP40? Not sure how you can do that when it takes multiple hits to kill someone without exception unless it's a headshot or bleed-out; experiences dramatically inferior trajectories compared to any rifle; and, inarguably, has the worst accuracy of any gun except the PPSh (which, ironically, you have a much better chance of getting a long-distance kill with anyway due to having higher power and higher RPM).
The MP40 is almost useless at times. I mean, frankly, it often fails to even do its job as a close-range weapon (in-game, not in reality), due to the fact that 90% of the time the enemy you run into has a PPSh which will one-shot you while being hipfired -- let alone have any kind of long-range effectiveness.
We've all gotten awesome kills with the MP40 at long ranges.. but don't delude yourself. It's nothing but luck, and usually it's after firing off half a magazine. Hardly a damn sniper rifle. To "snipe" is to dispatch targets at extreme ranges effectively and reliably. If you think the MP40 can do that you've probably never used it.
In this community, the MP40 is a sniper-rifle that headshots riflemen at 2,000 yards on the first shot while being fired from the hip. In reality, you frequently empty a full magazine of ammunition shooting at a crouched soviet at fifty yards, hit him twice, get one-shotted in the leg as he turns around and fires a small burst of the PPSh, then bandages and goes back to what he was doing.
