A rifle that has the power of a barret in a smaller gun and without scope.
Yea, sounds pretty balanced.
Just, no. lol
This. The barrett was balanced like crazy to keep it from being called overpowered; many things, including low ammo and the crouch to shoot feature, were considerations taken to make it balanced.
The m14 isn't a scopeless scout; it does damage on par with the m16.
Its an assault rifle, and was meant to be.
On that note; I still don't see why we need an ironsights bolt-action rifle; there is no use for it.
