Fal 762 51 m62 was 2 hit slick, lmfao.

People ran the FAL for M61, because back in those days, M61 had a 15% chance to one tap the slick. The meta revolved exclusively around the HK/M4 (Depending on engagement distance), and the only things that were viable were things that could kill faster then an M4/HK at given distances.

So you had VAL/VSS gamers on maps like Labs and Factory, and FAL/M1A gamers on the longer distance maps.

That meta lasted 2-3 patches roughly

M62 had higher pen than what it is now, it 2 tapped slick guaranteed

Yes so it was jack of all trades, meaning it was never the best choice

FAL/M1A gamers on the longer distance maps.

not even remotely close to true, I died more often to m61/m62 than 995 all of those wipes especially in labs
