On to a different point now. On the first page you said the MK14 was "useless" because of it's ROF. I highly disagree with that, but it does raise a point. If that's the opinion you've formed, then is this a case of you maxing out the ROF every time for the MK14? By extension you're maxing the ROF for every MR? Just wondering.
Useless in the sense that there are better guns in all situations. Can I kill with it yes but why would I put myself at a disadvantage just to use the gun. The MR-28 performs better in every instance (except possibly some tiny window after the range the MR-28 increases to a 3 shot kill and before the MK14 does) and the MK14 is a virtual death sentence in encounters at close range. To be a mobile sniper you still need to be somewhat mobile. And moving increases the possibility of close engagements.
As far as maxing out the ROF I only max out the MK14 at all but the most extreme ranges. I never used the SVU since it was the absolute worst gun of the 4. And at those ranges where RoF does not limit the effectiveness of the gun the sniper rifles are far better.
Edit
With respect to the IA2, on paper it should be very competitive with the MR-28 but there is some handling characteristic I just can't quantify that I don't like. Is there some turn movement limitation on the weapon based possibly on the length of the gun? The MK14 seems to have that limitation as well but to an even greater extent.
