    M16 v.s Famas...

    I've heard that statistically the Famas is better than the M16 but I've also heard that the M16 with a holographic sight is better than the Famas because the holo gives the M16:
    - More accuracy
    - More range
    - A damage boost
    - A tighter burst spread

    Just wanted to get some thoughts/opinions if any of this or some of this is true? Thanks

    I've heard that it is more acurate (sighted up) with the holographic, and I beleive that to be true. I doubt the damage though.

    Boycott the MW2 map pack, $15 is a rediculous price!

    no it is true...go on highrise and shoot the glass one shot at a time with the m16 and the holo adds .94% more damage...base damage is 24.06 per shot so add a holo and each bullet does 25% damage

    It makes a difference on the glass? I'll have to try shooting up some people offline...

    Both guns do 40 (close) or 30 (far) damage per bullet depending on distance. The Famas' maintains the 40 damage at longer distances than the m16 and shoots its 3 bullets faster than the m16. That is why many prefer the Famas over the M16. The M16's advantage is that it has a faster fire rate meaning the next set of 3 bullets can be fired quicker than the Famas (eg: you keep tapping the right trigger to fire shots).

    I thought only the FAL had a damage increase with the Holographic Sight. It does 55 (close) or 35 (far) damage per bullet depending on distance. The Holographic on the FAL raises the 35 to 40.

    I'm doubting it increases the M16's damage. The geeks data mined the PC version of the game a long time ago to find out the real numbers on the guns and nothing was mentioned about the Holographic boosting the M16's damage.

    Really.....no.....why does it take 3 shots to kill someone....with your stats it would take two...also no the holo doesn't give any more power(tested yesterday) it is twice as acurate with a holo though...and by the way what **** app/website ar you getting your stats from....if your going to say anything at least test it first.

    They do 20 at long, I've seen the charts too. And that makes sense, as it would be one burst kills at any range with stopping power and 30. I don't think there are any guns that get raised damage with certain attatchments. Those are glitches, they fix them pretty quickly. I did an update when I put the disk in the evening it came out.
