Battlefield 3 Weapons AK-74M Guide

In this Battlefield 3 AK-74M guide, not only will you discover its strengths and weaknesses but also the attachment combinations you can get with this gun to maximize your kills.

Battlefield 3 AK-74M Overview

Magazine: 30 rounds

Rate of Fire: 650 RPM

Faction: Spetsnaz

Fire Modes: Automatic (default) and Semi-Automatic.

This gun is one of the default weapons available only to the Assault Kit and to the Spetsnaz players. It's kinda pretty general weapon having some strengths and weaknesses. While facing in a long-distance battle, a Sniper Rifle would be the best but if while facing a battle in a close-range format, a submachine or a shotgun would be more good.

Of course it all depends if you're a really good player where you can surprise your enemy and change the sides of the battle. Same way you can equip a specific weapon as per a situation and pwn him.

Battlefield 3 AK-74M vs M16A3

If you compare AK-74M with M16A3, it has comparatively slower fire rate and slightly higher bullet damage. Meaning that you can use it in mid-distance battles. And you can use M16A3 in close-distance battles.

BF3 AK-74M Strategy & Attachments Guide

As you are more likely to be up against M16A3s, the Engineer's submachine guns would be damn good in short-distance battles and the Support's light machine guns aren't that great in mid-distance battles and you are bound to be in a situation where AK-74M is really great in mid-distance battle on the map.

What does this mean? You can make better use of this gun by adding on appropriate attachments which will add-on to your mid-ranged strengths.

Now you might want to improve your mid-range attacks by getting a better sight. The early PSO-1 (4 times magnified) scope works very well for this. You can always change to a different scope as you get to a higher level.

Next thing you want to do is improve your long-distance accuracy as this gun is kind of inaccurate in such a situation. Here you can equip the Heavy Barrel. But then, a heavy barrel will increase the vertical climb and you need to reduce your horizontal climb so that you can worry less about readjusting your gun. Here, a Foregrip would be perfect to balance this.

The last step left is to turn your gun into a single-shot mode. You can do this by pushing down the button on the directional pad on your controller. When you fire at your enemies, you can fire at the rate of 4 bullets per second.

Under this situation, you get the gun back in the place from where you shot it. In simple words, when you shoot, there is a vertical climb due to the Heavy Barrel, but if you wait for a second, it'll go right back into the original position. If you don't use the automatic mode to pull the trigger, it becomes really accurate, from long distances as well.

You will soon learn that 1-3 shots are enough to hunt down your enemy depending on how close your are and you can blast off 3 shots in a second thus making it accurate enough. Although, just make sure that you are able to mark your enemy. Because if they are able to escape, at least your friends nearby the enemy can kill them.

You will be basically damn strong at mid-ranged battles than any other classes in Battlefield 3. You will be definitely weak against Snipers so stay away from shooting in long-distance format. If you can sneak up on the enemy and get the jump, short-distance is perfect. Don't get too excited and end up going head-to-head with this gun as you're really weak against a lot of classes with respect to this.

Battlefield 3 AK-74M Guide Conclusion

Overall you have learned that AK-74M is really good in mid to long-ranged battles. You can get the maximum benefit by reducing its kickback effect. You can also overcome the weaknesses of this weapon as strengths rule over them. (head-on close-distance battles and very long-distance sniping).

Battlefield 3 Weapons M16A3 Guide

In this Battlefield 3 M16A3 Guide, not only we will be discussing about the overview of this Assault Kit starting weapon but we will also compare it with AK-47M rifle and what all attachments you can use along with M16A3 to maximize the efficiency.

Battlefield 3 M16A3 Overview

Magazine: 30 rounds

Rate of Fire: 800 RPM

Faction: USMC

Fire Modes: Automatic (default) and Semi-Automatic. Note: For some reason in the beta test, the tooltip shows that it can be set to burst mode, but the game does not actually let you switch to it. Not sure if the bug is in the tooltip or the bug being not able to switch to burst.

If you compare this weapon with the entire starting lot, this classic M16A3 is the most weak weapon you will ever find. It is weaker in single-shot fights as compared to the AK-74M in long-ranged battles (because M16A3 has a quicker firing rate with less effective shots) and is probably even worse at firing multiple bullets at once than the M416, which has far less recoil.

What we would recommend you is to use M16A3 only at the beginning until you get weapons as you level up and grow stronger.

Battlefield 3 M16A3 vs AK74-M

As we mentioned earlier, the M16A3 surely fires rapidly than the Ak-74M, but its less effective on a bullet-by-bullet comparison. In short-ranged battles, this makes M16A3 stronger than the other counterpart as it makes the gun more effective at firing from the hip.

AK-47M scores more than M16A3 only when you turn off automatic firing, but not much.

BF3 M16A3 Strategy & Attachments Guide

Technically speaking, M16A3 is one of the worst weapon to be used in Battlefield 3. No doubt M416 is far better at firing multiple bullets at once. And then, the kickback is also far much less with that weapon. You can easily shoot 5 times in a row (or maybe more), that too accurately from a fair range. M16A3 has much more kickback effect.

You can get into the semi-automatic mode with M16A3 by pressing down on the directional pad. When firing one bullet at a time, you are bound to reduce the kickback effect greatly. If you want to increase our accuracy, put on a heavy barrel. But don't forget that you won't be able to hunt down your enemies from a long range in 1-2 shots easily. In this case, AK-74M is slightly better for the task. But then, honestly speaking, both the guns are bad as their accuracy level is damn low from a very far distance.

For long-range battles, M16A3 blasts off enough bullets with least kickback effect where you can take down players with enough comfort. However we would suggest you to use a submachine or a shotgun when involved in a short-range battle.

In order to use this gun like a pro, you have to be a pro in deciding when it would be the best time to shoot an enemy from a distance, sneak up on them, or simply mark them and move on to your next enemy. One strange thing about this weapon is that it is not newbie friendly and still added in the starter edition. We feel that the M416 weapon is a much better option as a starter weapon because it is much easier to master one part of the game at once (close range, mid range and long-range battles etc) than trying to take on everything together.

Battlefield 3 M16A3 Guide Conclusion

M16A3 is not an easy weapon to use as a starter. It just fairs well at all the ranges of the game but is strong at none. You will always run into trouble at any time. It is strong against Recon but weak against Engineers at close-combat. It is strong against Engineers and Weak against snipers at long-range battles.

You have to figure out your enemy's class and engage them in the most advantageous way if you really want to win the battles when using M16A3.
