On paper, which is the best all-around performer and at which ranges? M8A1 w/laser and select fire FAL w/laser and select fire SCAR w/laser AN94 w/laser I think Laser is necessary for hipfiring and competing with SMG users since lightweight is so prominent. On paper: M8A1 dominates mid-range in its 4SK range, and beats the SCAR and AN-94 up close with Select Fire or a lucky burst. FAL dominates close range due to damage and long range due to recoil. AN-94 and SCAR are more effective than the FAL and M8A1 at varying mid-ranges. They have longer 3SK ranges than the M8A1, and fire faster than the FAL can. In practice: M8A1 has so little recoil and pumps so much lead, it's hard to beat it except up close, which it has the capability of dominating in. FAL has a hard time up close in a fair fight due to its low RoF, but its non-existent recoil and 3SK lets it compete at any range. AN-94 and SCAR are generally outclassed by the FAL and M8A1. They have too much recoil to compete with LMGs and certain other ARs at range in a fair fight, and they'll get thrashed by SMGs/shotguns up close. More or less, the automatic ARs have longer range than SMGs, yet are overall worse versions of them, in this game.

For me AN-94 is clearly #1. It isn't outclassed by FAL and M8A1. They are good, but they need 1 Attachment more (Selective Fire).
Also, AN-94 and SCAR have good ironsights.
AN-94 is the best allround AR without any attachment. It's good close range (rapid bursting) and powerful on long ranges (~33m 3-hit kill range) and the recoil is manageable. It feels very AK-like with mostly kicking upwards. Another point to consider is Headshots, the M8A1 has according to current stat info NO multiplicator.
Im' a PC Player, so this might be different with consoles and auto aim. But with Mouse and Keyboard AN-94 really rocks.

Thx Moses, am about to hit my frst prestige and was thinking about what to keep. Using the M8, I'm stuck with select fire, laser, and mags of some sort but it is clearly best from my experimenting against dumb bots last night. I have to think about it some more but it is clearly the best weapon overall.

I prefer the AN-94 to the M8A1 actually. I don't know if it's my aim or lag or what but I feel like I get robbed of kills I should have gotten with the M8A1 at a distance. :<

Is anyone else in love with this gun? It's so solid and dependable. Favorite AR in the game, I like it even more than the M8. 3-shot-kills fer dayz!! after yesterday. yes. i can't remember having a string of games in blops2 like i had last night with the scar. i use stock and grip on it. grip is definitely awesome for me since it doesn't dance like cm901, which helps. going to try to use the suppressor tonight for funnsies.

So we are gravitating towards the conclusion that the 3 best ARs are SCAR-H, AN-94 and M8A1? Am I the only one that likes the Type 25 above all others? I also really like the M8 and MTAR. The Scar-H imo kicks like a mule on steroids, I just can't hit anything with it; all my shots go over the enemies' head.

I love the Type 25 too, anthraxx. MTAR not so much.
AN94 and M8 are very nice as well.

Good to hear I'm not alone lol I've fallen out of love for the MTAR recently when I discovered the Type 25, but I'd still use it any day over the others bar M8 and FAL SF. And to the OP, have you tried the Scar with SF? Been wanting to test it out but can't get a kill to level it up to save my life lol
