Personally, I'm a fan of the german made G36. Extremely lightwieght, extremely reliable, and a round with relatively good penetration. Ammunition is lightweight as well, making it easier to carry a couple hundred extra rounds.
The other primary I like to carry is the abakan with a scope on it, though I usually reserve that for dispatching monolith in Red Forest and Pripyat. In burst, its easy to maintain accurate bursts out to about 300 meters, and anything beyond that the semi auto handles perfectly fine.
I am very picky about my secondary. While a G36 or AN94 work wonders in cqc, I need that extra dropping power. A Desert Eagle properly modified to behave like a real proper deagle works wonders. I also like the Benelli M3 shorty. But one thing that bugs me about the benelli is that most modders ''balance'' it to fire less bucks and reduce its damage values, when in reality, the M3 would be DEVASTING at the range I use it at. The damage these two weapons are capable of dealing makes carrying more than two full clips almost unnecessary.
usually, I like to carry a tertiary weapon, for the inevitable occurance where I run out of ammunition. Me being me, I have a lead trigger finger, so even carrying a G36 with 690 rounds runs dry preeeeetty fast. That being said, I like my tertiary weapon to have as much stopping power for the weight. Usually, the FN P90 or Kriss Super V fall into this category. But on the sane token, I enjoy using the Kriss so much that it often becomes my primary out of sheer joy. It is this very reason that I wish a modder would make detachable red dot and holo sights for... Well... Everything. A Kriss with a holo sight (by the way, I was at a gunshop in PA a couple years back and the owner showed me the holo sight he bought... Fucking beautiful. Unlimited eye relief means you can shoot from any position needed...) would bring a whole mew level of power to the stalker world...
granted, this all based on my realistic firearms mods I have added onto OL and AMK NS. Speaking of which, you know how I balanced the substantial increase in firearms' power? Simple: I increased the damage of mutants, and the accuracy of AIs... No longer does a burst of fire from a military stalker trace a circle around yer head... Chances are, if you are in their sights, you're catching a full center mass burst and dying. In my opinion, this encourages players to be smart and tactical with their playing. In my weapon mods, every weapon is a force to be reckoned with. Their is no true 'superior' weapon for the most part.
anyways, I've rambled enough...
LOOK! It says gullible on the ceiling!!!
