I have enough skill points to take the first three boxes in one tree, and mainly want this for the finishing headshots. So my biggest concerns are speed and accuracy atrange.
That said, I'm torn between Countersniping and the Speed line.
The speed line will just about double my rate of fire. So with a speed sliced Jawa made with speed tissues, I can hit about once every 2 seconds for about 75 points each shot in PVP (against 40% PSG and 40% stun helm). +20 speed attachments would double that speed. The problem is the accuracy.
The other choice, Countersniping, would allow me to use a DXR-6b, which has great much greater accuracy (I have a DXR with +115 accuracy at 55 or 60m), but only about half as fast as I would get with the speed line, and less damage after the 80-90% armor most people wear.
Of course, I can get fairly close to the DXR-6 with an E11.....slightly less range and accuracy, and less damage, but on the positive side, only 1 tissue per gun.
So basically, the choice depends on whether I would hit twice as often with the DXR-6 as with the Jawa. Anyone have a sense of this?

Well since this is a PVP combo, go speed an here is why:
Head Shot 2 has a 2.5 Damage multiplyer and a 1.75Speed multiplyer(since HS3 is 3X damage and 2X Speed, it's not that much more effective for you), your gonna want speed. You can do more damage with the speed bonuses and a Speed Sliced Speed/Max-Damge powered up Jawa thenanything inCounter-Sniping. Now you really can't out damage a Rileman rifle to rifle but thats what you got CM for

Yeah, it's really a question of speed vs. accuracy, and it really depends on just how much more accurate the DXR-6b is in practice compared to the Jawa. The amount of damage I deliver is not that important.
Obviously, hitting 100% of the time every 5 seconds would be better than hitting 50% of the time every 2.5 seconds, but I doubt it would be quite like that.
Probably more like, I would hit 30% of the time with the Jawa or 40% with an E11 every 2 seconds in the speed line, or maybe about 50% with the DXR-6b in the CS line, but only once every 4 seconds.
tough choice.

Really Speed is better then accuracy IMO. I rather have 3 Chances at 20% accuracy over 1 Chance for 60% accuracy.
