M95 Rifle Tactics

The M95 is the unlockable rifle. It is also a bolt action rifle. Purportedly it does the same amount of damage as the M24 except it works better against enemies with body armor and it also goes through windshields on the strong FAVs, helicopters, and aircraft; the latter is true, while the thing about body
armor may or may not be.

It would be great if they scaled this gun up to what it's like in real life, pretty much anything would be a one hit kill with this gun, in reality this has the capability of shooting through an engine block, so some measly wad of flesh and bone wouldn't be much of a challenge.

There is debate about which of the M24 and M95 is better at medium or long range, personally I think they are again the same gun, with the M95 gussied up a bit. I don't have the gun unlocked though, so I only have some experiences with it after I nabbed it off some guy's corpse.

I use this gun the same as the M24, except I'm more prone to waiting around spawn points on maps with lots of transport choppers. The helicopters come in and just hover in mid-air for a few seconds... a perfect opportunity for a shot. I haven't actually shot down a helicopter yet because once the pilot
realizes what's happening he usually pivots like mad and runs away. I have had a couple of guys fly into trees before, which was pretty entertaining.

Otherwise, I can't offer any advice, again, contributions welcome.
