you morons don't kill caravans unless you want to deal with the DP and for gods sakes shotguns are worthless get friking M4s and if you kill a certain caravan you get the police on you as well +you can't do the missions
oh and btw don't get a ton of vechs your you will get glitchy stuff to happen (invisible land rovers and your vechs just generally not appearing on the battlemap)
flish since money is not an issue i must point this out to you a char with 120 sniper can do a TON more damage with an m4 than even the best sniper due to the fact that the sniper has to reload evry 5 rounds while doing aim shots where as an M4 has to evry 30 and since the M4 does almsot he same as a sniper 11-13 M4: 11-16 sniper also an M4 can do bursts making at a highly effective wepon at close range it also is a lighter wepon than eny sniper and its ammo is lighter as well (100 7.53 NATO is more than 100 5.43 NATO)
gman the M4 is one of the best wepons in the game for not very stong units and you get STR for walking around but its VERY HELLISHLY slow and you have to be a moron you get killed useing H2H at hte start and sniper skill is not important at the start you get tons of time later
darealgman i reccomend H2H wepons at the START to train str later on yes things like m4s rigs9s hand grenades are the only way to go but if you are going to fight the tiny robbers by popa cosa and stuff use H2H wepons
