Or get this actually aim for the head rather than the body. It's not a 50 cal, you can't get easy cheap insta-kills by shooting the body . The m21 is basically the same but slightly less accurate and slightly more powerful, so the same strategy will apply there. Both snipers would have been treated like vss is, if you could equip them with red dot scopes.

Yep I dont really understand it since I rather use svd than m40 because its faster and headshot is still one hit kill and you can use it at close quarters.

SVD NEVER kills with 1 shot in the head. It's always 2, even with the magnum ammo.

Funny story about that. Right after I finished with the svd, I was supposed to do the m40. Since I already had half the kills with it. My scores with the m40 were so much lower, since you can`t really get up in the action. I ended up switching to the m21, getting back up in the top of board again. The m40 will be my last weapon, which is weird I preferred the m95 sa in the vanilla game. I might looking into getting into the vss with red dot when I get back into the vanilla game, I heard good things but never tried it. It took the svd/m21 to make me realize yeah it does work, recon can get up close and personal and succeed.

Edit: svd is one hit kill if you shoot them in the head in normal mode, I only play normal on conquest and I got one hit kills many times. Quite a few of them were on base campers(i.e they had no damage done to them because ->.). They were protecting a base while my entire team was trying to spawn camp at their original spawn, which doesn't work if they have other bases -.-.

So far I've got gold on all the assault/engineer/medic guns as well as the m40. I've got around 50 left for the SVD and no kills for the m21 yet, so far I'd vote the SVD. Takes me an average 2-3 shots on the upper chest to get a kill with magnum ammo.

Had a nice game with it last night though, we spawn trapped the attacking side on the Temple level and I must have got at least 20 kills with it. Just 150 kills to go then I have to start on the huey.

I changed my mind. The SVD and the M21 aren't bad snipers at all. I liked them more than the M40 because I don't have the patience to just sit around waiting with a long range sniper.
A good moment to use them is when playing Rush on Operation Hastings when attacking or defending the first 2 MCOM stations.

The worst gun for me is the M14. Only 20 bullets means you have to reload after killing one opponent, even when you are facing more than one. I ended up killing opponents with my handgun every time I ran out of ammo because I didn't aim well

The SVD by far! It sucks balls, but i got my 100 kills and im now back on 100% again

I never liked the SVA, wasn't really a good gun, ever.

Flame-thrower if I could vote for it. Its has the range of a shotgun and the damage of a pistol, not to mention that when you shoot it every enemy in the game knows your position.
