NC LMG Question

[BIGGByran]

Looking for another gun better suited for me. I am currently running with an EM1 but I feel like it hits a bit soft and the recoil isn't as good for medium range. I was thinking about getting either the Gauss Saw S or the EM6. Looking for the gun that has the least recoil(Full auto, maybe 30-50 shot burst) between those two. Really would like to keep the 100 rounds, but 75 isn't bad. Anyone experience with both guns and can give me their knowledge on how the recoil for them compare with each other and maybe the Gauss Saw.

Thanks.

I use the EM6 with a forward grip, compensator, and high velocity rounds. It does wonders. Don't be worried until you start certing into your gun.

You also have to worry about CoF and Bloom, not just recoil.

At 30-50 shot bursts, even with a small CoF when ADS and little recoil, you will have high bloom and in the end a large CoF so your shots wont hit much... For suppressing fire doesn't matter much though.

I play on VS side, so can't give you advice on the gun, but I can tell you I am killed most by either of the ones you asked about

Otherwise - google search for Planetside 2 infantry weapon cheat sheet no pistols no max. It gives graphical info about each weapon (CoF, recoil intensity + direction, clip size, etc.) as well as stock TTK of each. Nothing about hacking or anything. Just a summary sheet. It's a post on the official PS2 forums.

You won't be able to get a feel of the weapon but you can easily see all the stats of them at 1 view, in detail as well as the relative TTK which can give you an idea.

I like the EM6 as well, but don't discount the other guns. The GD-22 can be a beast if you can work with the small magazine.

Thanks guys. I went ahead and tried the Gauss Saw S and liking it so far.
