Gameplay: MAX crush?

And indeed they are. I imagine a knife in the back of a MAX would do a lot of damage, and they have a much smaller silhouette, making them harder targets to hit.
Not to mention headshots are supposed to deal significant damage, which is another thing any self respecting infil-sniper should excel at.

Well, something is better than nothing, though I'm not sure how I feel about it having light-moderate damage =/

If it effectively sends someone flying back all discombobulated (Confused due to screen shake) then that's fine. But if it just shunts them a few feet away...not so impressive.

I think there was already a post on a MAX having a meele attack. Not a weapon but just something for very close defence. Not like an actual max weapon.
