No you can't. You can only get a OSOK to the neck and head with the Dragunov. >_>

More opiinions please!! This needs to be addressed!

All I'm asking is to make it just as powerful as it was in COD4 and BO! Forget anything about buffing the Dragunov other tha giving it a OSOK to the chest w/out a silencer, and OSOK to the headn and neck w/ a silencer, like it's BO variant. Is that really so hard to ask?

And the RSASS not only has less recoil AND 2X the mag size, but it has a much faster reload and draw/raise times as well!!! They are both equal in power, but It outclasses the Dragunov in EVERY WAY, except for movement speed, which the Drag has an edge over, which doesn't mean crap really.

I already gave some evidence to how it was most likely NOT intentional to have the Dragunov as weak as it is now. There's no reason to nerf an average sniper rifle for no reason, and the 1.1x chest multiplier, suggest to me that it was originally supposed to OSOK to the chest(could have originally had 98 damage instead of 70).

People asked to buff the shotguns, and to nerf the fmg9, and type95, and IW listened. So what does that tell you? It's possible, if we get enough people to support this.  Like I said to the person before me.. Forget about buffing the Dragunov in every other way, I just want it to be as powerful as it was in COD4 and Bo. Which isn't asking much.  Because now I can see that if it does get the chest multplier OSOK, it can be a dcent viable alternative against the Barrett, since it does have a faster reload time and movement speed against the Barrett, while the barrett has the stomach multiplier w/out silencer (and OSOK down to the chest w/ silencer), and slightly faster draw/raise times. But if people can learn to aim with the Dragunov to the chest and up, they won't have to rely on the stomach.

Have you been reading anything I've said this whole time?

I LOVE the gun, and have since COD4. But this ridiculous nerfing on MW3 just made it really bad. Usable, but not nearly as effective as the other sniper rifles in most to all situations. It's outclassed by a large margin..

Oh and here is something interesting.. Someone from the Denkirson Probards, mentioned proposing to give the Dragunov 2.0X multipliers to the head, neck,and chest. Thus it would be like the sniper from COD4, where it didnt' need stopping power to kill in the chest (unless against juggernaut users), and it would kill in the head, neck, and chest w/out a silencer or with. I think this proposition is pretty interesting, because it would buff the Dragunov a whole lot more than I intended to, and it would be on par/level with the  Barret. What do you guys think?

Guys.. I need your support now! All of you that supported me in this thread, and the people who are about to read this for the first time..  If you really want the Dragunov to be patched, to make it usable in this game like it's COD4/BO versions, please support me here, as I am addressing this DIRECTLY to an IW developer who is working on patches:

I think it's pointless to do that.. You're basically rebalancing the entire metagame by doing that, and that's too drastic.

Not all weapons were affected by built in "stopping power" in this game. Just a few, such as the P90, PM9, G36c, M4, ACR, and 4 sniper rifles for instance. However some weapons from previous games were revamped to have significantly different mechanics as well such as differences in RoF, in addition to power as well (P90, UMP, PM9 japanese uzi).

In terms of built in stopping power, I'm mostly troubled by the 4 sniper rifles i mentioned earlier, which happen to be: Barret 50 cal, AS50, L118A, and MSR. Instead of having 70 base damage from previous CoD games, it's now 98. This doesn't really change things on the surface, because these guns still OSOK from the head all the way down to the stomach, like previous strong sniper rifles since COD4.. But this increased damage allows them to OSOK all the way down to the chest w/ a silencer--which I think is pretty powerful, as you're only sacrificing a stomach multiplier--to be off the radar when you shoot.

In previous games:

BO: All sniper rifles could only OSOK to the head and neck w/ a silencer. This actually gave the Dragunov a small niche, because it was even in power with the other sniper rifles a silencer, and had the advantage of largest mag size, fastest reload time, and tied in 1st in fastest swap times with the PSG1. Due to such small OSOK areas, it wasn't popular or nearly as effective to use a silencer then without, in most battles against skilled users.

MW2: Only a few sniper rifles could OSOK all the way down to the chest with a silencer (Intervention, Barret 50 Cal), BUT--it required the Stopping Power perk, which took up the perk 2 slot.

Previous games didn't have silencers on sniper rifles.
