this has really been a big mystery to me.
why do people like/use the stg 44? I see one in EVERY match i play for some odd reason.
it has a low rate of fire, and 30 max damage? cmon now, i can think of two guns off the bat that trump this. a quick finger with the m1a1 beats this gun hands down, and at close range most smgs will tackle it with ease.
So why then, why do people use it. Its a crap gun in my books. Maybe im just ignorant about what its used for? i really cant think of anything. I even check stats and everything, only thing i see that has going for it is increased zoom and little recoil.
You are my bro, bro.

Very low recoil makes it better at range than SMGs. Faster reload, lower recoil, lower idle sway, better hip accuracy, and faster aiming make it easier to use than MGs. Full auto and larger magazine make it easier to use than other Rifles and better at close quarters. It is truly a jack of all trades master of none.

well, what I've been thinking: why do people (including me) prefer it over the fg42... Fg has SMG mobility Fg has same damage Fg has less recoil Fg has better hip fire (I think?) Fg fires ALOT faster
Stg has bigger clip (only 30 to 20), but if you use double tap on it like many players, you are still slower firing then the FG with SoH. (so the clip issue is pretty much gone)
Only reasons I have left is the fact of the apperture and flash hider, but alot of people use the scope on the stg to...
So why does it sometimes feel just better? I don't really know, maybe you guys know the answer

center speed on stg is horrible, i will say the reload time is nice but i have sleight of hand on all my hardcore classes, so it reduces the effectiveness of that perk.
next thing is that it has idle, rifles and all smgs dont.
so STG some sort of hybrid? in that case why not go overkill. and on hardcore why use an stg when m1a1 is one shot kill, or perhaps mp40?

at mid to long range it has very low recoil. put a dot sight and bandolier on it and i bet you i can have a +25 or 30 kill spread on any map

I think the STG's appeal stems from its low rate of fire. At long distances, there isn't any other automatic weapon in the game that's going to be as accurate with full-auto fire, simply because the RoF is slow enough that it has time to recenter before every shot. The FG fires faster, yes... but that can be a negative at long ranges. Plus the FG burns through clips almost as quickly as the Skorpion did in CoD4 (and we all saw how many people unfairly hated on the Skorp just because it was a clip burner).
I'm not a huge STG fan, but I can definitely see its appeal, especially with a telescopic.

The FG burns through a clip SIGNIFICANTLY faster than the Skorpion did. FG=937 RPM, Skorpion=850 RPM.

Eh, maybe from a strictly "hold down the trigger, see how long it lasts" perspective, but my FG clips last longer than my Skorp clips. Probably because the FG has a lot more recoil, so I actually burst-fire it. Probably also a result of the Skorp's hip-fire accuracy, which definitely encouraged me to spray with more abandon.

Fg is another gun that blows my mind. I dont know how people use it.
maybe i just have retarded hands or something, but i find myself always switching back to my carbine or thompson after ive tried experimenting with both the STG and FG. I mean, im getting a 1.5 k/d with both those guns but comparing that to my average, which is 3.2 the guns just dont cut it for me.
not gonna lie, a good STG user rapes me in every game, and that is ultimately what baffles me.
