So last night I was playing on Muttrah City. A BMP was assaulting our position so I ran up some stairs to the second floor of a small building to get in cover but i got hit by the BMP right before i turned the corner, enough to make me start bleeding. I noticed some MEC troops coming down the road so i grabbed a dead guy's automatic rifleman kit,went prone, and deployed the bipod.
I took aim at the closest enemy first who was hugging the wall near the intersection. I fired a short burst and he didn't drop. I fired several more bursts and he didn't drop, though i think i may have hit him once, and at this point he started zig-zagging away from me so i just went fully automatic and held the sight on him. I must have fired close to a hundred rounds at this guy, tracers and dust flying up everywhere and he never got hit by another bullet. He finally ducked around a corner and i changed targets, taking aim at a soldier farther up the street. I fired one burst and he dropped, then the weapon clicked empty and i got shot. I have no idea how the first guy survived, I was holding the acog sight on his chest at about 20 meters. Was it because i was injured or I didn't wait long enough before i started firing?

Is your in game name John Rambo?

long bursts on mg's dont work, give the weapon a small time to set up, couple of seconds, then use burst rounds of about 5 rounds.

no my name is plastic_knife in game as well, and yeah yeah I know but I just think that it's a statistical impossibility that he didn't die

Judging from your circumstances, my guess is that you didn't let the deviation settle before firing, especially true since you were using an AR.

I think we all get that kind of stuff sometimes, I rest convinced that game time is ten times faster than real time so maybe deviation wasn't settled.

That MEC soldier must of been counting his lucky stars after that encounter with the AR firing around him.

Well, there's your problem.

Going prone is a nono.
Going deployed increases settle time (in exchange for better accuracy/less recoil).

Combine those, and firing before letting it settle, and you won't hit a damn thing if you're not lucky.
