Yet Another [Flawed] List of [non-donor] Guns, and MY Opinions of Them

Tier I
The Tier I are unlocked upon joining the server, and their quality matches that. Yup, they kinda suck.
m16: Automatic. Three round burst. In immediate succession, with excellent accuracy, it takes 2-3 bursts to get a kill. That's 6-9 bullets. This can shred through your ammunition if you're not careful, and the low damage makes it difficult to reliably get kills. However, this gun is great for harassing fire and combat in close quarters.
l118a: Sniper. Single round. A body shot will do 7-8 hearts, and a headshot should be an insta-kill. This makes the l118a a decent starter sniper. However, due to low rate of fire and an annoyingly small magazine, most players stick to the m16, for good reason.
m1014: Shotgun. Buckshot. Unquestionably the worst shotgun on the server. With a crippling rate of fire and no good traits whatsoever, this thing sucks. However, my respect goes to the few who can successfully use this piece of crap as they exhibit skill and dedication. The one glimmer of hope is that it can provide a OHKO if you're at point blank, but that's about it.
usp45: Pistol. Single round. The usp45 is the other ugly duckling of the Tier I guns. It's one redeeming trait is semi-decent accuracy, but other than that, it isn't that good. Takes 3-4 shots to kill, low rate of fire, and a magazine that seems to change size match to match ... just no.

Tier II
Tier II guns are slightly better than their predecessors, making them actually usable to some degree, thank god.
m4a1: Automatic. Single round. Most likely the best Tier II gun, the m4a1 is reliable, fast, and kind of dangerous. With a good rate of fire, bullets that do about 2.5 hearts each, you don't really want to get cornered by someone with this gun. Also, the knockback on this thing is just ... wow.
Dragunov: Sniper. Some people love it, most people hate it. Body shots do about 6 hearts, and a headshot sometimes gets a OHKO. But the rate of fire is what makes this thing unique. It's fast. If you're not dead on with timing, you're gonna waste a ton of ammo, but with low damage, if you get an opening, you're gonna need to spam that trigger. It's a bit of a counter-intuitive gun, if you ask me.
spas12: Shotgun. This is basically the m1014's big brother. It does more damage, and is often employed for a two-hit-kill at five to six meters. At point blank it's an insta-kill, like it's li'l bro.
m9: Pistol. Single round. In retrospect, this thing rocks. It has a great fire rate, a massive magazine, and decent damage. It's great for clearing rooms or mid-ranged sniping. It takes about 3 shots in close succession to kill.

Tier III
The guns in this tier are actually decent (mostly) and provide a range of different roles.
ak47: You've undoubtedly heard of this gun before. Just like in real life, it's pretty common on mc-war. It does about 4 hearts per bullet, has good accuracy (when scoped) and a killer rate of fire. It's designed for strafing and anti-sniping, but you'll see plenty of guys simply trying to snipe with it, a habit that will burn ammunition very quickly.
Barrett 50 Caliber: Sniper. Before it was nerfed, this gun was legendary. An insta-kill sniper at lv. 16?! AMAZING. Now, of course, it only does 9.5 hearts, but it can still OHKO with a headshot. It's rate of fire sucks, however, and it's magazine is really small. Expect to get very frustrated if you're not good at getting headshots.
aa12: Shotgun. Think m4a1+m1014, and you've got the aa12. It has an über fire rate, but does hardly any damage. It takes 5 hits to kill at 6 or so blocks, but is a 2HKO at point blank. Also, the magazine on that thing is over 30 rounds, so don't expect reload to tell you when to stop firing.
Magnum: Pistol. Does about 5 hearts, maybe a bit more on a headshot. This pistol has horrible no-scope accuracy though, and a lackluster rate of fire. Pro tip: just stick to the m9 until you get the D'Eagle.

Tier IV
This is where the guns get pretty good, and really fun to use.
Famas: Automatic. Three round burst. The Famas is a great gun, in my opinion. It has a fast fire rate, great accuracy when scoped, and if all three rounds from the burst hit their mark, it's a kill. That's really all their is to it, but like all automatics, beware the ammo burn.
msr: Sniper. Single round. This thing is like the Dragunov on steroids. With an even higher rate of fire, better accuracy, and slightly more damage, this thing is a force to be reckoned with if held by a capable soldier. Does about 7 hearts per bullet, with headshots being a OHKO.
Model 1887: Shotgun. Single round. "THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK!!!" By far the best shotgun on this list, the model 1887 has enough firepower to kill two people in a single shot, or at least it used to ... I'm not sure if it still does. This beast does about 4 hearts per individual buckshot, and has the best accuracy and range of all the shotguns (possibly contested by the spas24). Everyone who doesn't hate this gun loves it to pieces.
Desert: Eagle: The soul mate of the model 1887, the D'Eagle has unparalleled no-scope accuracy and a killer rate of fire. Does about 5-6 hearts per bullet and might kill on a headshot. It's amazing.

Tier V (prestige)
Allow me to introduce the first line of Prestige Guns. These things are for use by only those with the feat of reaching lv. 31+.
Lemantation: Automatic. This things fires so quickly that I nearly fell out of my chair the first time I used it. I think it takes 3-4 bullets to kill, but really I don't know simply because the bullets fly so frickin' fast!
L120_Isolater: Sniper. By now the best none-donor gun, it is the only weapon that guarantees a OHKO anywhere on the body, unless the target is wearing armor. Most people who use it love it, but those who don't think that it is the epitome of a "noob gun." Ironic, given you have to be lv. 36 to use it.
spas24: Shotgun. Arguably the worst prestige gun, this thing simply is not good. It does about the damage of a spas12, with a similar fire rate. Only difference: slightly higher range and less spread, but a rrreeeaaallllllyyy long reload time. Please, just stick to the spas12. Don't waste your money on this piece of crap.
Executioner: The reigning king of oneinthechamber, the Executioner is unique in that it fires buckshot, even though it's technically a pistol. At point blank, it almost guarantees a kill, but at long range ... no. It also has a relatively slow rate of fire, like most shotguns, and a small magazine. It's really just a niche gun.

Tier VI (prestige)
Prestige guns, ROUND TWO.
Skullcrusher: Automatic. Three round burst. A gun that fires so fast it will literally crush the skulls of all in it's way, this badboy is a force to be reckoned with. With each bullet doing about 7 hearts (and sometimes insta-killing on a headshot), this thing is a monster. However, if you mash that trigger you're kinda screwed simply because you can burn about 1/4 of your ammo in a single spamming of the trigger. So use Scavenger. And scope, because the accuracy on this gun isn't very good.
Disassambler: Sniper. With a high rate of fire, extremely high accuracy, and a cool name, this sniper seems pretty awesome. And it is! But it's not an insta-kill, which made me very sad when I first used it. Nevertheless, great gun.
Typhoid: Shotgun. Three buckshot burst. Think close ranged Skullcrusher, and you've basically got the Typhoid. If you get those three buckshot bursts to hit square on, you're gonna get the kill. But like before, the ammo burn is just vicious. So either use Scav or Stopping Power, 'cause you're gonna need one of the two.
Python: Pistol. The Python is considered by many to be the best pistol in the game, you'll soon see why. With a rate of fire similar to a D'Eagle, better damage than a Dragunov, and the best pistol accuracy of all, it's a great gun. The only draw back is not-so-good accuracy when not scoped, but that pales in comparison to the shear awesomeness of this gun.

If you've made it this far then I thank you for reading my entire post, but if you just scrolled down here then shame on you. Either way, feel free to post opinions in the comments, and have a great day!

 

True, I used the Tier system, but I wouldn't call it a mix-up as it was quite intentional. I didn't see any other options for ranking the guns.
