I got a kick (pun intended) out of this last night. I was playing with 2 friends on some server, Metro conquest, and was running with the G3A3 and under barrel M26 mass. I just started to work on unlocking all of the assault weapons since I never used that kit before, so I am using a setup that others have found success with. Mind you, I only have 3 kills with the G3A3 (so no heavy barrel) and 15 kills with the Mass (so no darts). I am aware of the heavy barrel / Mass / Dart bug and was not trying to exploit it since I don't even have the heavy barrel or darts unlocked. We start off the round and I go 5-0 with 5 Mass kills. All of a sudden I am kick/banned from the server! Its a shame that because of the bug anyone that uses the M26 Mass is going to get looked at as a cheater.

I think the bug is actually that attaching the M26 with an underbarrel rail (available by default on weapons that have it) gives the projectile(s) the properties of the weapon's normal bullet. As such, HBar and the Dart M26 are especially deadly combo'd because of the faster velocity/longer max damage and whatever advantage flechette has, respectively. This includes MASS, frags, and slugs as well. This is probably the first time I feel dirty for using a shotgun.

Oh wow, so its any time you attach the M26 to the under barrel rail on any assault rifle? That's not good. They better fix that quick or there's going to be a lot of pissed off people.

the glitch only happens when the M26 is Underbarrel, and the assault rifle has the heavy barrel, and it gives the bullets from the mass the same properties as the assault rifle, meaning a pellet does 34 or 25 damage, and the frag does 25 or 34 damage, and doesn't explode

OK, so in that case I wasn't inadvertently cheating, like I thought, and just had a good start to the round. I guess that makes it a little better.

So if I want to legitimately use the M26 for frags or slugs, mounted on an HBAR AR, I get screwed over. 25 damage slugs. Now that's sad.

i don't think heavy barrel adds into it. some quick testing indicates that undermounting is the key factor. the m26 rounds just benefit from the tighter spread and longer damage range. but undermounted even without HBAR is still bs.
