Call of duty 4 question?

Question

how come for the sniper rifle dragonov it always sucks? i used it in search and destroy and i shot a guy on the chest and it only damage him. i have stopping power and i look at the gun strength and it was like the m40a3 but it still sucks.headshot are different. when i use the m40a3 one shot is all i need to kill one person.

Answer 1

the dragonov sacrifices accuracy and damage for fire rate... so the game developers may have lowered the damage a little too low lol  

Answer 2

Well, the Dragunov is a rifle in it's own category. If you play regular mode,(not Hardcore) Stopping Power has no effect only against Juggernauts. What I'm saying is using Stopping Power against a target is the same as if you DIDN'T use Stopping Power. It only changes against Juggernauts and in Hardcore.

You probably thought you shot that person in the chest but due to lag or hitbox errors, the hit registered as a limb shot (arms & legs)

If you snipe in Regular mode, you can use Stopping Power for the occasional Juggernaut or Overkill and have an SMG as a secondary weapon instead of a pistol.

If you play Hardcore, I highly recommend you use Overkill with the gun of your choice, preferably an SMG.

My suggestion is just keep sniping and the more you snipe, the more experience you will gain allowing you to get headshots easier.

PS The in-game chart that has statistics like "fire rate, damage, range, etc" is not accurate. If you want TRULY ACCURATE gun stats, visit http://www.xanga.com/DenKirson/632800688...

Answer 3

its damage isn't that great cuz the fire rate is pretty good so u can't have a perfect gun. each gun has its own strengths and weaknesses.
