N A V Y S E A L s Weapons & Tactics Guide By LiMpBiZkitFaN Version 1.00 E-Mail: Lambda654@aol.com ASCII Art Coming Soon! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= --------Table Of Contents-------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= o Introduction o Weapons & Equipment o Reccomended Weapons o Legal Information o Credits =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= --------Introduction--------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This is my SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Weapons Guide. The Weapons & Equipment Guide will tell you how the Weapons are rated, with in-depth descriptions for each and every weapon, and how to utilize them to their maximum potential. This is only my 3rd FAQ, the second one was made fully, but CjayC decided not to post it since their were other Weapons & Tactics Guides for Red Faction. The guide was made before I got a chance to get my Network Adapter, so all information is based off of the Single-Player Game, and I am too lazy to add other stuff. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ----------Weapons & Equipment---------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= In the Armory, when you select a Weapon, you see five different catagories: Volume, Accuracy, Range, Fire Rate, and Fire Modes. There Are 6 Slots In The Bars: _______________________ |___|___|___|___|___|___| | | | | | | 1 2 3 4 5 6 Fire Rate: The Fire Rate of a Weapon is how fast it fires. Weapons with a Fire Rate of 2 Fire as fast as you can press the FIRE button. Weapons with a Fire Rate of 3 fire at a Moderate rate; Examples are the M9. Some Weapons Fire Rates can be changed. The different Fire Rates are: Single, which fires one shot when the FIRE button is pressed. Burst, which Fires 3 rounds every time the FIRE button is pressed. And Auto, which keeps firing rounds Until you let go of the FIRE button, or the clip runs out. 1 Slot- Extremely Slow 2 Slots- Very Slow 3 Slots- Moderate 4 Slots- Fast 5 Slots- Very Fast 6 Slots- Extremely Fast Accuracy: The Accuracy of a Weapon is how much of a chance you have of hitting an enemy That is in your sights. Weapons with high Accuracy are great for hitting enemies that Are at Long ranges. There is only one Weapon with Horrible Accuracy, and that is the Model 18. The Model 18 fires very fast on Auto, but has Horrible Accuracy. Using the Model 18 is only recommended if you are going to be fighting in very close quarters, Such as that of the bunker in Mountain Strike. 1 Slot- Extremely Inaccurate 2 Slots- Very Inaccurate 3 Slots- Moderate 4 Slots- Accurate 5 Slots- Very Accurate 6 Slots- Extremely Accurate Volume: Volume is how loud the Weapon is when fired. On missions such as Prison Break, Weapons such as the M87ELR or the M60E3 are Extremely Loud, and they will give away your Position to the enemy very easily. The lower the number of Slots filled up, the better The chances are that you will remain undetected. If you absolutely need to remain Undetected, go with Primary Weapons such as the M4A1 SD, or the HK5SD, and go with Secondary Weapons such as the 9MM Pistol, or the Mark 23SD. 1 Slot- Extremely Low 2 Slots- Very Low 3 Slots- Moderate 4 Slots- Loud 5 Slots- Very Loud 6 Slots- Extremely Loud Range: Range is how far out you can hit an enemy with your Weapon. Very Short range is Within arms reach of an enemy, Short range is about 10 steps from the enemy, Medium Range is about 20 steps from an enemy; Long range is about 30 steps from an enemy, Very Long range is about 40 steps from an enemy, and finally, Extremely Long range is About 60-70 steps from an enemy. Weapons such as Assault Rifles, and Sniper Rifles Excel at hitting enemies at Long ranges. 1 Slot- Short 2 Slots- Very Short 3 Slots- Medium 4 Slots- Long 5 Slots- Very Long 6 Slots- Extremely Long =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= --------Assault Rifles--------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= M16A2 Fire Modes: Single / Burst Fire Rate: Very Slow Accuracy: Very Accurate Volume: Very Loud Range: Short to Long M16A2-M203 Fire Modes: Single / Burst / M203 Fire Rate: Very Slow Accuracy: Accurate Volume: Very Loud Range: Short to Long M4A1 Fire Modes: Single / Burst / Auto Fire Rate: Very Fast Accuracy: Very Accurate Volume: Very Loud Range: Short to Long M4A1 SD Fire Modes: Single / Burst / Auto Fire Rate: Very Fast Accuracy: Accurate Volume: Extremely Low Range: Short to Medium M4A1-M203 Fire Modes: Single / Burst / Auto / M203 Fire Rate: Very Fast Accuracy: Accurate Volume: Very Loud Range: Short to Long M14 Fire Modes: Single / Auto Fire Rate: Very Slow Accuracy: Very Accurate Volume: Very Loud Range: Short to Long AK-47 Fire Modes: Single / Burst / Auto Fire Rate: Fast Accuracy: Very Inaccurate Volume: Loud Range: Short to Long AKS-74 Fire Modes: Single / Burst / Auto Fire Rate: Fast Accuracy: Very Accurate Volume: Very Loud Range: Short to Long 552 Fire Modes: Single / Burst / Auto Fire Rate: Fast Accuracy: Very Accurate Volume: Loud Range: Short to Long Description: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -------Heavy Machine Guns------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= M60E3 Fire Modes: Auto Fire Rate: Very Fast Accuracy: Very Inaccurate Volume: Extremely Loud Range: Short to Medium M63A Fire Modes: Auto Fire Rate: Very Fast Accuracy: Moderate Volume: Extremely Loud Range: Short to Medium =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= --------Submachine Guns-------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= HK5 Fire Modes: Single / Burst / Auto Fire Rate: Fast Accuracy: Very Accurate Volume: Moderate Range: Short to Medium HK5SD Fire Modes: Single / Burst / Auto Fire Rate: Fast Accuracy: Very Accurate Volume: Extremely Low Range: Short to Medium F90 Fire Modes: Single / Burst / Auto Fire Rate: Extremely Fast Accuracy: Moderate Volume: Very Loud Range: Short to Medium 9MM SMG (Uzi) Fire Modes: Single / Burst / Auto Fire Rate: Very Fast Accuracy: Very Inaccurate Volume: Low Range: Short =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ---------Sniper Rifles--------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= SR-25 Fire Modes: Single Fire Rate: Extremely Slow Accuracy: Extremely Accurate Volume: Extremely Loud Range: Short to Very Long SR-25 SD Fire Modes: Single Fire Rate: Extremely Slow Accuracy: Very Accurate Volume: Low Range: Short to Long M40A1 Fire Modes: Single Fire Rate: Extremely Slow Accuracy: Extremely Accurate Volume: Very Loud Range: Short to Very Long M87ELR Fire Modes: Single Fire Rate: Extremely Slow Accuracy: Very Accurate Volume: Extremely Loud Range: Short to Extremely Long M82A1A Fire Modes: Single Fire Rate: Extremely Slow Accuracy: Extremely Accurate Volume: Extremely Loud Range: Short to Extremely Long =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -------Grenade Launchers------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= M79 Fire Modes: Single Fire Rate: Extremely Slow Accuracy: Very Inaccurate Volume: Very Loud Range: Short MGL Fire Modes: Single Fire Rate: Moderate Accuracy: Moderate Volume: Very Loud Range: Short =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -----------Handguns------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Mark 23 Fire Modes: Single Fire Rate: Very Slow Accuracy: Moderate Volume: Loud Range: Short to Medium Mark 23SD Fire Modes: Single Fire Rate: Very Slow Accuracy: Moderate Volume: Extremely Low Range: Short to Medium 226 Fire Modes: Single Fire Rate: Very Slow Accuracy: Moderate Volume: Loud Range: Short to Medium 9MM Pistol Fire Modes: Single Fire Rate: Very Slow Accuracy: Moderate Volume: Extremely Low Range: Short F57 Fire Modes: Single Fire Rate: Very Slow Accuracy: Moderate Volume: Loud Range: Short to Medium Model 18 Fire Modes: Single / Auto Fire Rate: Extremely Slow Accuracy: Extremely Inaccurate Volume: Loud Range: Short M9 Fire Modes: Single Fire Rate: Very Slow Accuracy: Very Inaccurate Volume: Moderate Range: Short to Medium Desert Eagle .50 Fire Modes: Single Fire Rate: Extremely Slow Accuracy: Extremely Inaccurate Volume: Extremely Loud Range: Short to Long =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -----------Equipment----------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -
