Now that was great Annoyed Man! I like the HK part. At least he would have looked cool!

"Don't cry, we'll get you a Noveske tomorrow"...

Priceless.

I could kick a baby! Oh man, woke up the wife with that one.


So I'm clueless whats the deal with an ACR why should I drop 3k when I could get 6 Shotguns or 4 Handguns or 3 AKs, or 2 ARs for the same price?

Ummm exactly. Shrubmaster is dreaming....

Also the ACR is a man stopper on that game. I shoot people all the time with a 3-shot burst from my M-16 or a couple rounds from my FN-FAL and they just keep on trucking. Two shots from an ACR kills you quick though. There is actually a consensus that the ACR in the game is over-powered. I mention when I hear this that Bushmaster is coming out with it on the civi market soon and the game is like a big add campaign.

I have never played the game, but you're talking about a modular rifle that will shoot both 5.56 and 6.8SPC. 6.8SPC has a greater lethality, even with OTM and ball ammo than the 5.56 for obvious reasons. I suspect the game developers knew this from the get go, and designed it that way.

Lets see for $3k I could get the ACR... or an LWRC PSD with a can and the $400 in stamps to make it legit. Or even better I recently found a DPMS SASS with a Leupy MK 4 on it for $2500. Might have to jump on that one. No thanks on the ACR though, my M4gery works just find for that niche and only cost me $850 (8 years ago)

$3K might not gonna do it.Couple days ago a saw people want to sell one for $4K.

No need for an ACR. Just put a 6.8 upper on your AR. I have owned one since the 6.8 came out.

And not to insult anyone, but I doubt most game developers have ever heard a real gunshot, much less know anything about lethality.

When the designers of the original Metal Gear Solid started, they were all flown from Japan to the US and got to handle and shoot all the weapons that were proposed in the game. The designers from Japan had never even seen or touched REAL guns before. They got to handle everything from full auto MP5's, to suppressed HK45, to RPG and frag grenades. They wanted to game to be a real as possible and the only way to do that is to put it in motion and hands on.

Modern Warfare 2 is the most realistic first person shooter game released in my opinion. I have played everything from Wolfenstein/Doom to Modern Warfare and everything in between. And have shot many of the weapons on these games and I think the designers do a great job making them realistic.

The Medal of Honor guys got to do a WW2 Bootcamp
They even got to fire a 30 cal from the Hip Rambo style. Also I've met a Game Designer at the range before. trying to get some of his friends work at Blizzard to go, that would be neat

Just a heads up. Buds Gunshop has a deal on them. $2125 shipped in case someone is interested.

I think the ACR was less than $1600 @Academy.
