The only gun where a scope affects damage drop off (the only measurable thing pertaining to range, where the in-game stat bars aren't lying to you) in this game is putting an ACOG on the python, which increases the distance it does max damage.
I'm not saying the variable scope is a bad attachment, but the only benefit it is giving you is being able to zoom less or more.
" For the last month or so I've been trying to play BC2 exclusively with the weapons that would be in Vietnam, and it looks like the Garand is going to be a beast. I'm curious to know how the 'Blooper' M79 is equipped / which class gets it / how long it takes to switch to it. I would assume assault gets it as a 3rd weapon. "
The 40mm launcher button / assault / probably slightly longer than switching to a 40mm launcher.
BTW, when I made this thread I didn't realize there was a separate page for the expansion. Sorry!
@GoofyGoober: I can't even imagine what they were thinking when they put the M40 in with those stats. I remember watching some press event videos and thinking "that guy had to have been hurt for him to get killed with a body shot like that." Guess I was wrong.
I might also expect to see some tweaks to the flamethrower and M14.
The interplay among the SMGs and the LMGs seems well enough, given the generally higher damage output in the expansion.
M40, Variable Scope (this adds range so you get more one-shot kills)
Hmm, the M40 isn't in this game and the variable scope has no effect on range. @OldManLight said:

The PSG with no attachments is a semi-automatic 1 hit kill from the chest or above. That is retarded.
Disagree, upper chest, head , and neck should be a 1 shot kill period. If a sniper bullet hit you there IRL, you'd likely bleed out before the guy next to you could scream "MEDIC!" "
Guns in video games should almost never be dictated by their real life counterparts. That said, @mason_pat actually meant it's a one hit kill from the stomach or above, or so some of the latest videos to come out claim.
It's an issue of balance between the sniper rifles. There's almost no advantage to using the L96A1 now.
