Or it could be that the lower rate of fire makes the "felt" recoil less noticeable or more manageable and therefore easier to stay on target than the other ARs...

That could be it as well. Because the few times I've picked it up off of a dead guy it feels very "locked in"

I think your on to something there, that's the same way i feel about the RPK74 compared to other LMGs.

This is the exact reason I favor m416 over m16a3... It feels like a slower more controllable rate of fire...

RDS tend to annoy me alot... when you shoot you got to watch that little read dot.. that you can easily lose after a 3 round burst...I rather go holo

You just spent too much time with the zellar, Lambert was my baby.

Hey 14000+ kills can't be wring. And I had over 1000 with the Lambert.

I absolutely like it over something like the famas. That thing is so all over the place I positively hate it.

I don't know what it is about the gun... people rave about the M16A3 but I just do best with the "crappy" weapons I guess.

Though... More of my time is spent running around with a medkit or defib in my hands so the gun is a bit insignificant.
