Yeah dude you can just tell the drag is gonna look good in gold although I think it'd be awesome if you could use it without any kind sight that little iron sight would be perfect.

Yeah I think the buffs were not needed and what I find funny is the same old guns are being used with the M16 chucked in.

@u dead. Its funny how different we all are bro. I finished all gold guns not long ago and the RSASS was my very last one and the Drug was my second to last just cuz I was not having fun with them where as they were your first.

@Monkey. Its a cool feeling when you hit that cadence isnt it?? The fire rate coupled with the flinch it causes makes it un-stoppable. It gets more and more consistant. I actually have a blast with it and slid it into my class that usually gets rotated with my MK14 and M16. The Drug made his way into that class rotation. Plus I never see gold ones which is what I like to do. I swear I had the first and only gold M16 on the game until the stupid weapon buff haaa. Dudes would even ask me what gun it was after a match..

Send me an inv. there Monkey. my Tags the same as here minus the -R at the end. I had to add the R for this forum when I came over from the bops forum. I couldnt post with my origional account.

This has been an interesting few pages, since the RSASS is my current sniper in my quest for all gold guns. My first, strangely enough, was the Dragunov, then the MSR and Barrett. The Drag was a drag, the MSR was meh, but the Barrett was actually pretty easy.

I did best with the Dragunov using a silencer/extended mag; definitely plan on using Scavenger. While it has higher mobility than the other semi-auto snipers, I didn't find it played all that well in a rushing role for me. (The bolt actions and Drag run at .9 and the other semi-autos are at .8, which is the same as the LMGs) Working in sneaky mode with the silencer was most effective.

The RSASS on the other hand, works best for me with an ACOG. Haven't gotten it that high yet (lvl 14), but so far it is passable as a run & gun with the ACOG. I don't like it with the silencer so far, but will try it again once I get a better feel for the gun. It is a spam-tastic weapon though, so far I have heard quite a few juicy kill-mic complaints.

This gun is definitely a candidate for Scavenger as well.

Sorry to quote the whole thing but replies get put up weird. I think we're the reverse to be honest i've only had a couple of rounds with it but i've found the drag with ACOG scavanger (of course lol) assassin and steady aim to be quite a decent hip fire beast.

I see what Ramboner means, and you yourself will know from first hand experience there's the scoped in settle thing for the reticle theres a sweet spot to hit the trigger. I've hit it about twice where sudenly the bullets are going where I want instead of the gun firing all over the place.

The RSASS I like it's hip fire but it's sound just draws people if someone is behind you firing an unsilenced RSASS they'll be easy to draw a bead on leading to way more deaths.

A silencer gives you the extra second or so that'll you need if there's more than 2 people coming at you I alot 8 shots for each person that way when the lobby is junk i'm used to it but when the lobby is good the kills roll in.

The vari-scope is great for scoping in on close up encounter there's less screen to work with but the trade off is they fill more of the screen the rest is down to how fast you can track and fire.

But you can still function at greater distances than the standard scope turns it into an all rounder.

I try not to use QD or stalker as I value being off the map but I could imagine QD,stalker,speed and vari scope on the RSASS would be a very good combo to go loud and up close more like a shotgun than a rifle.

I satrted with the AS50 and loved it but waited for the RSASS to get the mushrooms

My grammer and spelling suck I try to edit out the things I notice but probably don't catch them all sorry for the eye strain.

Yeah the RSASS does seem to do that to you I think it's because you just know the one time you risk not reloading 3 people come around the corner. It's the only gun i'll run scavanger with as it hard to find refills on the ground. I find myself going prone a lot

Monkey...Im responding to your reply on page....Uhhhh somethin in the middle but its hard as hell to find buried replies so im replying at the end

Ok man....On the Druganov bear with me here cuz Ima sound a little wacky.....

With the ACOG there is an exact "cadence" (spelling ?) with the trigger that keeps you perfectly on target. Too fast and it climbs upward... too slow and....well your firing too slow haaa....Im telling you though there is a cadence with the pull of the trigger precisely when it drops back down to where you initially pulled it. Its not waiting to the point that it settles but quicker. Its soooooo hard to explain but its there and when you find it its phenominal. It causes so much flinch that the enemy cant beat you.

Yeah the reply system is weird you'd think it'd just bunch them under the appopriate post. I hate finding the sweet spot for the trigger pulls I think it's easily the stage you'll eat most deaths.

Although the RSASS does seem to favour the faster the better approach. The Drag thanks to your setup has become one of the weapons i'm itching to use although i've got a feeling i'll have to switch out recon for scavanger.

Since then i've expanded my aim i'm shooting for a square 100 vids i'm already up to 13 so only have to find 87 tiny reasons to whack up a clip lol Although at the moment i'm genuinly returning for Ramboner's weapon advice his layout for the Drag certainly makes the weapon more useable.

not to mention most matches I play are going against clans and parties, and I cant mess with that gun when I need my A game lol

Yeah the RSASS is a pain but the silencer lets you aquire targets pretty fast whilst on the move with it kinda like this
