Trust Boombox? LOL.
Meds will not heal your men when they are below 25% health.
And later on in the game, dump ALL your M4s unless the someone can't even hold the sniper rifle. The sniper rifle is so much better than the M4, it makes the M4 look like it sucks. Look at my other comments on this game to see the BEST way to play the game. I've also got some decent info in the forum. Also, the NaN glitch makes the game very boring to play, so I'd advise sticking to the way the game's supposed to be played.

boombox, it's what i meant, anything saying "unidentified", "unknown", or "NaN" in a game completely ruins it seeing that u either can't
play the game anymore or the game becomes no challenge as u get endless money/hp whatever in all games..

aye richie i know i have had like 20k meds and still lost HP when i was at like 8 mabye if you had rilly highly skilled docs tho

boombox: I was talking about deadly wounded ppl (less than 25% health). Medicines don't heal them, they just slow down the bleeding, but only way to save them is to take them to the doctor asap. Ppl with more than 25% health will get healed if you have meds.

The medicine only slows down the bleeding. Only way to cure those guys with red health bar (less than 25% health) is to take them to the doctor in some town.

There was a glitch, i accidentally clicked up arrow when i was in top of all items in shop and there came a thing called xundefined looking like a a water can and said it was ammo and undefined amout... didn't dare to buy it though as usually "undefined" ruins games :P

the m4 fricken sucks why would any one even buy one, i totaly agree with DaRealGman, you can almoast beat the game only using the sniper rifles, they rock!!!

i don't know if im weird or what but i luv using the rpk for sniping, u can get 10 bullets out in 1 turn, wats not to luv?

I think both M4 and sniper rifle are good choices. M14 is also a good alternative instead of using M4, but only for guys whose sniper skill is over 100. I've never missed with a sniper rifle and I think sniper skill 80+ is enough for that. I use following combos (primary & secondary weapons) for my guys:
rpg + M4
sniper rifle + grenades
M4 + grenades
M14 + grenades

And in reference to your comment about H2H:
You don't get killed with H2H, you get wounded, which costs a crapload and a half, especially when you're trading leather and shoes. The sniper skill needs to be built up AS SOON AS you begin the game, otherwise the RPG will miss almost all the time.
Also, saying that the M4 is one of the best weapons in the game for not very strong units is an oxymoron
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Nilloc, you are incorrect. From long range, the M4 does a pitiful 4 damage per shot, whereas the sniper rifle has a respectable 12 damage per shot MINIMUM. Also, if you aren't stupid enough to have less than 8 people, you won't need to use more than 5 shots per person, especially if you have RPGs. The same goes for your reference to the weight of the weapon and ammo, since you'll be pumping out 5 shots max, you only need say 20 bullets, and that's for emergences only. The M4 is strictly a noob hunter, and under no circumstances should you do the DP missions with the M4.
A) It's suicide
B) Against military armour, the M4 does 1 damage per shot.

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)

M4's are awful in comparison with the sniper rifle, I think the main reason why people use them is that they're a usual drop from the robbers you kill other than that, anyone who'd chose an M4 over a sniper rifle is just dumb. Sniper rifle are accurate and delivers awesome damage, though they may cost a pretty penny, later in the game you'd be able to afford these.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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

Get the Garand after 1 round of trading in the "Small 3", cos you make more money the first time round when you spend less on things apart from trade goods.

If you can't afford any of that, stick to what you start with until you can afford one better. What I just explained is the best course of action in the long run, trust me, I have more than 10 million in cash, and I hire people just to drive my Hummers :P
Check out the walkthroughs in the forums, SevenofSpades made a really good one.

Please note, all of the previous weapons cost a shoot-load of money, so here's the poor-man's arsenal:
M4s: Although they are a pale shadow of the CETME machine-gun damage-wise, and have nowhere near the durability of the sniper rifle, early in the game, these weapons are worth their weight in gold. The accuracy boost is the highest in the game up until you get the sniper rifle.
M1 Garand: For a one-off cost of a little, you can pack some heat with the usually horrifically poor damage of the Springfield rounds. Only use these if you don't have the cash for an M4.
Shotguns: Inefficient weapons, but if you're caught flat-footed right-next to enemies, these babies pack a whallop to nearby victims. (also a guaranteed 1 damage hit from any range)

Will everyone shut it with the M4s already? They suck ass. Giving sniper rifles only to your best snipers is sheer idiocy.
The sniper skill on the gun IMPROVES the sniper skill of the person wielding the weapon. Therefore making the person more accurate.
Here's the set-up:
RPGs first and foremost, if they have the strength to hold 2 rounds and a secondary weapon. They need high(ish) sniper skill also, missing is costly.
Secondly, Sniper rifles. GOD GAVE THE CARAVANEER SNIPER RIFLES!!! These things are godly in the way they improve your entire group. They have fantastic accuracy and deadly damage.
Thirdly, grenades! If someone doesn't have high-powered explosives, they're reduced to picking off individuals, which hurts you later in the game.

i agree with the Gman there's nothing about H2H combat being able to increase your strength, it really is a last resort sorta thing, when ya run outta bullets and all.
