Forum Overview :: Left 4 Dead :: Re: So, assault/hunting rifle. They seem to suck.

[quote name="motherfuckerfoodeater"][quote name="Arbit"]I just got this game a couple days ago and I'm already outscoring random internet people when I use a autoshotgun and they use ARs. <a href="http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=778290">The Valve forums have determined the shotgun has the best DPS and infinite piercing</a>, but you don't need number crunching NERDS to figure out the autoshotgun is best. (Surprisingly, the AR does not infinitely pierce, but it does shoot through an extra 0.5 feet of wall, YAY.) So, why is the AR assault rifle the default choice for most people?[/quote] HUGE clip and decent range make it the safest weapon for people (like me) who want to play but don't have mad chops.[/quote]
