Actually the AR-16 out ranges the PKM by 5m, yet the SAW out ranges the AR-16 by another 5m.  I know, I tested.


See this.

You forgot to add something:

Grappling hook:
100m

Oh wait, I think I'm wrong here.  

Back to the topic: The PKM is defo not the easiest weapon to use. It is easy, but it is not easier than the AR-16. The PKM can handle quite a range, yes, but in that case aiming is harder than it would be w/ AR.
What I want to say is: The PKM still requires some skill. The AR does not.

Btw, the Star 45 is not that bad, is it? From what I've done with it, I'd say it has at least twice as much range as the Homeland. Technically, it is the best pistol, as it has a decent range, decent damage and exceedingly good accuracy, even if you don't even use the iron sight. The fire rate is a bit down in the dumps though.

LOL we should do an accuracy research I think. At least for some weapons. One player stands somewhere and the other player aims at his head, see if he hits it.

I say it's not easier. Well, maybe on maps on which it really comes to combat at closest ranges, where people are sort of locked in a thin corridor. But think of what you can do with the AR-16 on most maps, then compare that to what you can do with the PKM, you'll find the AR-16 way easier. On midrange+, the AR-16 is WAY easier to use. It's a NOOB gun.

For the "spray 'n' pray" (or is it "pay"?  ) tactics, you might as well wanna use the SAW...

The Homeland does have a nice range, but I don't think it's anything like the Star. You can easily dish out headshots at distances like 60 meters with the Star, but try killing an enemy with 1 shot from a Homeland, at the same distance, the opponent will turn around and kill you, even if one or two bullets hit him.

[offtopic]Btw: Comparing JC2 and FC2 in terms of gunplay, you will notice differences like miles between. There are two shotguns @ JC2. A sawn off and a semi-automatic M1014. Both have almost the same range, the M1014 of course a bit more. But the funny thing is: Both have WAY more range than the Homeland from FC2; you can basically kill an enemy from 150 meters distance with three shots).

The M1014 is one heavy beast I tell you. Well, in JC2 it really is. If FC2 had something like this. Got a bunch of soldiers and a colonel infront of ya? Upgrade that thing to Lvl 6, then just dish out one shot per enemy. One shot to the colonel's face and he's dead. This gun is WAY stronger than the .44 magnum in JC2.

Also, there's a kind of MP5/Tec9 mix SMG. That little thing has a range of hundreds of meters. I think 250 or something like that. Equal to the Bull's Eye Assault rifle, except it has no scope.
The sniper rifle has slightly more.

Now the rocket launchers from JC2... they have an unlimited range! As long as the player is within a certain range of the rocket, the rocket will fly ahead and not explode. So you can actually take the parachute thrusters and try to keep up with the rocket. As long as you do, the rocket will fly.

Obviously.
The fact that I can still get the highest score most of the time doesn't make it any less annoying when I die after 3 shots, sometimes I just see the screen go red.
I only ban people for using ar16. I would tell them to stop using it but being ignored & having someone pretend to not know what I'm talking about("stop using what") & continue using the weapon after I explained put me off wasting my time.
The ar16 shouldn't be so much better than a sniper rifle at long distances, the only time that isn't the case is when playing a huge, mostly empty map.

That damn sniper no-scoping gets me all of the time.  Undead is pretty good at all that bouncing around and sniping your dome piece in the process.

LOL what?
Where/when did I call you a noob? 

And I didn't say I'd ban anyone for using it, and once again Yoz, I told you I am not blaming anyone who is using it except those who go mental incase they get owned.
So don't pick on me please.

Well, it is the noobs' #1 favorite gun. There are much noobs out there, and if they use something then it's the AR.
If they get slashed consistently, they'd call anyone a cheater who uses a weaker gun.

I didn't address you in any way though.

Thanks! 

If I was a bad loser I would call Undead_Avenger a cheat and ban Him... and again
