When you just want the biggest gun with the biggest magazine, the machine gun is the best option. Its large magazine allows it to be one of the most versatile guns; it can be used at close range to kill enemies while they are reloading (as they’ll always run out of ammunition before you do) or holding down an area at long range. This gun has gone through the most emulations – at the beginning it had 200 rounds to fire before having to reload and at another stage it had the fastest fire rate of any weapon. Its current emulation is well balanced with 100 rounds and easy to use. It has the slowest reload so the user has to be very careful when they press the red button.

Currently the SAW does not have a bipod but before 2014 it did, giving the weapon great stability. This image is from 2013 showing it in use. It looks like the other player is using a P90 because of the stock shape and how forward the sight is. The P90 player is on the black ops team (they used to have bright red headbands but now have black ones, the camo headbands are now a much brighter green). They must be playing Hunger Games since there are 2 players on a different teams next to each other.

02/11/2024 – The number of machine guns has been doubled after 2 snipers have had their scopes replaced with new red dot sights. This is possible because the machine gun and sniper have the same body, just a different sight and emulation. The scopes have been placed on a couple of M16s.

With the greatest accuracy, a foregrip and sling, the Honey Badger is by far the best weapon at BFL. With a manageable fire rate, this gun is deadly at all ranges as long as the user is aware of the slower than average reload speed and can plan around it. Currently emulating the AK74.

This is the most unique weapon by far as it is the only one to feature a scope, rather than a red dot. This makes the weapon the most difficult to use because the horizontal and vertical lines need to be perfectly aligned in order to make a hit. Its accuracy is fully dependent on the user, as some players can instantly make full use of the gun, while most will struggle to hit the target even once. Traditionally, the sniper would be set to one shot kill for the games in which players have 5 lives. This makes the gun devastating in the right hands. Currently the weapon is rarely used as it’s so hard to balance – it can either be too under or overpowered.

In this image the sniper does have a bipod but I have never seen any of our snipers fitted with one.

02/11/2024 – The scopes from the snipers have been moved to M16s, making them the new snipers. The M16 is lighter than sniper, which would give the user greater mobility. However, this is cancelled out by the weight distribution being too far to the front, making it harder to aim down the sights for longer periods at a time.

Similar to the Commando, this gun’s accuracy has decreased over time, making this weapon have no clear advantages over any other weapon. Most of the weight is at the front, meaning the offhand has to carry most of the weight. This makes the gun more difficult to use the longer you are holding and aiming it (although some do come with a sling to help alleviate this).

02/11/2024 – 2 of these have had their red dots repaced with scopes from the Sniper.

Once one of the most powerful weapons at BFL, over time its effectiveness has diminished due to losing accuracy and emulation changes. Its previous emulation was the g36, this gave it the fastest reload time and made it deadly in close range firefights. The current emulation takes away its major advantage. It has an adjustable stock and a relatively light weight which makes the gun easy to handle. The strangest thing about this gun is that it is designed for left handed users – the screen appears upside down if a right handed person holds the gun. The trigger is also strangely unclicky and unresponsive.

Best known for its unusual appearance, this weapon has the lowest range and is generally not as impressive as it looks. Its main advantage in close quarters is the mag size of 50, but this comes at a cost of reload speed. Its weight is mostly in the stock, making it easy to handle and gives the user a steady aim for medium range engagements.

The lightest and most common gun available. With the fastest reload speed and easy handling, the spitfire can be very effective when used correctly. The reason why the overall score is so low is because the accuracy is very poor and the gun is unreliable (it’s the most used weapon so often gets dropped, leading to scopes being dim, off or not calibrated well).

These are the key features of a battlefield live gun. Some of these are unique to the honeybadger but most can be applied to all guns.
