I love it on my assault class, it's like a mini-M60
Massive damage and you get C4! The downside is supposed to be low ammo, but with the assault, it doesn't really matter. And lack of sights, but I love the Iron, plus it forces you to take another spec 1.

Its pretty good but it does have some significant drawbacks when compared to the M60.
It fires slower. Its damage drops earlier. It has 3X the spread added per shot. And a tiny clip.
Its still a pretty solid choice of weapon... you just have to contend with the spray.

I guess anything looks weak compared to the OP M60 though.

Who cares about low ammo, the small magazine is the real problem. The ammo box can't solve that.

Oh man, I can't imagine how insanely OP the G3 would be with 30 round magazines. Even with 20 rounds, you should be able to kill 3-5 people minimum before reloading.
I can understand why it's a dark horse weapon in this game, but in the hands of anyone with a high DPI mouse and good aim, it's probably the best assault rifle. It should never take more than 4 shots to kill anyone, ever, and I don't even feel pressured to reload it with half a clip remaining. Pray they never let us put a scope on it or buff the magazine size.
For those of you reading this thread with arched eyebrows, give it a try. It has a learning curve in that you need a lot more self control and calm aim with it than the burst-and-pray assault rifles, but it will turn you into an action movie star once you get used to it. Walking into a MCOM building and getting 3 kills in 3 bursts in 3 seconds becomes the norm. Single-tap sniping with it at medium-long range will let you kill snipers while they're still aiming.
Just never hold the trigger down. Ever. And it will be the best all-kit weapon you use.

I just unlocked it and it has instantly become my favorite gun. It is accurate and powerful if you can learn to shoot short bursts, and extremely versatile specialization-wise. The only gun that regularly kills me now is the M60, and I'm used to that.

So is the M60 like the PKM in BF2 before it was nerfed? I've only had a small time playing BC2 on 360 so far, and that played like a barrel of rigid dicks.
