On expert, the after-round stats to "damage done to tank" when not using molotovs always exceeds 10k. I doubt some of these numbers.

You could easily be facing two tanks in Expert. That would account for the numbers. I've noticed that sometimes, if you die, you don't get credit for the damage you did.

In any case I've never seen such damage figures, in Expert or otherwise.

Okay, so I did a bit of my own personal research and found that if you empty you're lagging quite a bit and empty a lot of rounds into tanks and the like, you're going to end up with massive amounts of additional damage. It's kind of like how Witches only have around a thousand health, but you can end up doing well over 1500 if you keep unloading into them after they're dead.

So duel pistols are better than an Uzi, except maybe at close range.  Interesting...

what does mean point black, what's the range in meters?

all DPs shoudl be done in medium range, it makes uzi stronger when you count on medium range

matt surely by looking at this you have just described your self. your clearly not the most intelligent  person in the world and obviously a bit of a sad unloved bastard for going on the internet trying to pick fights with people just because you feel threatened by there intelligence  so shut your trap (by the way intelligent means clever)
