ALL ASSAULT RIFLES All Weapons Guns Guide Jagged Alliance 3 

It's been mentioned a number of times but it bears repeating for anyone reading the comments - there's a comment that the M14 uses the same ammo as the AK-47. There are two types of 7.62 ammo, WP and NATO. They are not interchangeable and represent different ammo pools.

For an early gun, the M14 is amazing. I mod it up for aim bonus and gave it to Fox. She can pop 2 heads open at range before they start running around in panic. It is hilarious watching them swarm all over the place searching for the shooter.

One small gripe with the video. There are *THREE* ammunition types assault rifles fire in JA 3. There are 5.56 mm, 7.62 x 51 (Nato) and 7.62 x 39 (WP). You find the WP variation way more in the early game when exclusively fighting the Legion as the AK 47/74 uses that type and those are the bog standard guns for third world dictators. In the later game you tend to find the Nato variation more since the other enemy type uses mainly FN FAL and Galil.

my suprise when connie in port cacao sold semi-modded FN FAL for 2,5k, then bit later he sold M82 for 3,5k...

The guns can roughly be broken down into a early, mid, and late game categories. You can usually tell which are which by the general stats. Early guns: AK47, FAMAS, M14. Late game: AK74, G36, FAL. Mid-game: everything else. I've found the FAL to be super good on Omeryn or an overwatcher -- it has all of the overwatch mods you could ask for: Light Stock, Reflex Sight, Bipod, UV, and Grip. The somewhat poor aim bonus is OK since you don't aim overwatches past the UV scope. The G36 and AK74 are both good generalist guns that work well in most situations. Aug is pretty decent mid-late gun.

Basil gave me a FAMAS with a red dot and a prism scope. I gave it to Ice, he hardly ever miss anymore. Put in a bipod mod, it works amazing with Ice when he triggers his prone skill and returns deadly fire to the enemies.

Ty for this video. Only one thing: @5:20 when you mod AK47 with BIPOD you cant mod GRENADE LAUNCHER, so here you dont loose any versatility with AK 74.

I really liked the FAMAS in JA2, because it was so quick firing - almost pistol equivalent firing speed. Sure, it had short range, but only compared to other rifles - it was still long enough range to allow adequate tactical versatility. Pity it seems to not be much good in JA3, it was already unpopular in JA2 for its short range and repair issues.

I wish they would balance auto fire around accuracy getting way worse as the burst goes instead of reducing the damage.

I’ve been following this game since it’s reveal and I have own’d every JA game since the OG. The detail you put into these videos is amazing and easy to follow! Keep up the great work! The views and subs will come! Cant wait for when you possibly do a walkthrough of the campaign!

usually don´t play ARs, except for full modded AUGs - but nice to have a comparison for once...

I love FAMAS - it drops often from attacking groups on my militias and scrapped you can get chips from it.

Theory-crafting a little bit for the AKs: perhaps instead of trying to shore up the low accuracy from aiming, instead build it for spitting out lots of lead. Light stock, recoil booster, and an extended magazine will let you sling a lot of lead, and you can optionally put a vertical grip, bipod (so you can occasionally pop shots off at medium range without accuracy going too bad) and (if you have a chip to spare) a reflex sight. Ultimately, a build optimized for shorter ranges, but one which gives some absolutely devastating firepower if you can land several hits (and which substitutes volume of fire for accuracy).

I have to point out: burst doesn't do 150% damage of a single shot. Since it does carry an additional 20% penalty to Hit, it does 120% basedamage of a single shot on average for 3 times the Ressource investment. 2 Single shots will out perform a burst in almost any case.

Funny thing about the M16 in this game: * In game it's called M16A2, but the model is actually M16A1, used in Vietnam War. * The real M16A1 does not come with birst fire, but an auto mode lol

Great content, Dude. I am waiting for a new Laptop to be able to play the game and it really helps to keep my unpacience under control ;)

I miss a conclusion at the end of the video. Like your final top 3 ...

I hate how ak74 uses wrong ammo

The subtle satire with the A-15 is hilarious.

M-14 good early AR, i replaced them by Winchester 1894 (rifle) or M24 (sniper silent) mid game and then by PSG1 late game (sniper silent not cumbersome) FN-FAL very good when fully equipped (buy it at granny's shop) and 4x15 dmg config and 80+ marksman/dex/str gunner, good even in late game, must have one (or two) per team, be careful with ammo if also using M-14 Galil looks good nice range and accuracy but can't go 4x dmg config so FN-FAL is better AK garbage in this game G36 haven't seen a single one (i have one M82 and 3 PSG1 mid-late game) AUG good 5.56mm AR M16A2 not

nice vid, however you missed missing the commando ! edit: my bad lol, the commando is classified as submachine gun :D it looks almost exactly like as the ar-15 or m16a2 :(

Da problem - in-game AK and western ARs use different ammo, 7.62x39 and 7.62x51 NATO.

Nice work. Thanks

The AR-15 should be renamed the M4.

Instead of saying the short range barrel makes the AUG brutal in close quarters combat, I would actually say the opposite: it becomes stupidly cheap even at range! It has 30 range default and 26 with the shorter barrel. This is still higher than some of the other Assault rifles by default and on top of this it only costs 3 AP for a single shot that is very accurate. That is crazy value.

The g 36 is funny cause it comes stock with 2 opitcs

M16A2 realistically never had the capability of full auto only burst and simi auto (single shot).

i think only useful AR is FAL/g36 to have ok damage output and range not fall behind sniper for everyone. (And great thing u can buy FAL in coco habor!) AR-15/galil also excellent with 200% crit damage perk. and AK74's poor range maks it bad for mid to long range. Rest of AR really needs buff.

I'd like to know if the AK74 in game really uses the same ammo as the AK47. Because the real life model doesn't.

Love the vid!

I love Galil, cause of long range I build it and as my whole team. Never found G36 for almost 150 days... What about sniper rifles guide like that one? Will you make video about that?

for the ak 47 the bipod, grenade launcher and grip block each other (can only have one or the other)

Isn´t the G3 in the game? It is one of the most produced assault rifles in the world. Or is it to simlar to the FN-Fal that they don´t implemented it?

from some reason, my Steyer (from loot box) has 52% crit. And as is here already mentioned, is not 7,62 like 7,62. nato standard and WP (Warsaw pact) aren't possible to use in all guns, just specific ones. so you have 5.56, 7,62 nato and 7,62 WP guns/ammo and thier versions. I found it by hard experience, when I have 500+ WP ammo, but my magazines in guns are empty... so you could sort/compare guns per ammo as well. anyway, thanks for your videos regarding that, it helping a lot.

Bit off Topic. I am unable to mount a bipod on my Famas. Any ideas why?

So the AUG is the best one to savescum for from Laylee's Loot Boxes? The other contenders are the HK21, AK-SU, and M1014. 5.56mm weapons in general deals the least damage, 7,62x51mm deals the most, and 7.62x39mm is in between. You only get 5.56mm regularly after getting out of the island, and 7.62mm NATO are rare in the beginning but gets more common as the game progress while the 7.62x39mm goes the other way around as those rebels use NATO weapons instead. I wish they properly add 5.45mm and 7.62x54mm along with weapons that use them (Mosin Nagant, DP-28, SV-98, PKM).

What about the Commando (yeah, lol)? Or is it considered an SMG?

There's an error in the game. The AK74 has the wrong caliber and does far too much damage for its caliber. Basically, apart from the .44, there should be 6 rifle calibers in the game: Soviet weapons: AK47: 7.62x39WP AK74, RPK74,...: 5.45x39 WP Dragunov,...: 7.62x54 R Western Weapons: M14, M24, FN FAL, Galil, HK21,...: 7.62x51 NATO M16, G36, AUG, Famas,...: 5.56x45 NATO M82: .50 BMG or 12.7x99 NATO

Correction. 7.62x51-- this is NATO standart. 7.62x39-- this WP standart. So M14 biggest downside is using valuable NATO ammo with questionable efficency and high enough consumption rate. When I recieved my 1st M14, I've already had FN-FALL and Galil.) It's pretty frustrating, that trading system in the game is nonexistant. After JA2 it's humiliating: you are almost forced to savescuming in order to provide yourself with ammo and needed guns. I think, that this issue is a 1st one to be addressed by modders.))

Is there a video for the sniper rifles?

Huh, so you don't have 5.45x39 in this game. Ak-74 and Aksu-74 should use that caliber. Though to be fair not even Jagged alliance 2 went into getting 7.62x54R for the Dragunov, so I guess there are limits on how many types of ammunition you can have in the game. The Desert eagle upgrade using .50 BMG is also hilarious though if you look at how that cartridge looks (.50 action express that the desert eagle actually uses is a much shorter cartridge). Ah, Jagged Alliance 2 was the game that really got me into gun nerdery.

Assault rifles in this game either have recoil booster upgrade or they are crap. That being said, AKs are best for close to medium range overwatch/burst fire without aiming. M14 is best as long range burst fire rifle. With vertical grip, UV dot and 10x scope it gets its ridiculous aiming bonus for free. This is very strong on high dexterity mercs and lets you consistently hit all 4 burst shots within weapon range. 5.56 weapons are overall disappointing but AUG is fairly modifiable and G-36 at least performs decently even without mods. Not having the 4th shot in burst fire really hurts their performance though and ammo is expensive to craft. In the end the best assault rifle in JA 3 is the Dragunov. Yep. Easily acquired early on from the Poachers Camp. Devs pls remove the burst fire from Dragunov, its beyond silly and makes all the other assault rifles pointless.

Did anyone else get the Aug in ur first loot box?

No g11 ?

youre missing the Colt Commando

AK74 is not 7.62wp IRL. it should be 5.45

Missing the AK-SU which you can get from Laylee's Loot Boxes or Scully.

Where is commando?

Lacking commando gun

Hugely overbalanced. Considering availability of bullets and modification, the sum-total of usefulness of every gun is the same. There is no sense of progression or improvement as you go deeper into the game's story. There is no real need to upgrade to a new gun. Personally speaking, I find this quite disappointing and unrewarding.
