Sometimes when you get revived in BF2 you end up with a different weapon than what you started with.

A couple times on Karkland after I was revived I had a weapon with red dot scope. The sight window was not round, the sides sloped. I did pretty decent with this rifle so I was curious whether this was an unlock.

I believe this is a Special Forces gun. I looked at all the rifles that have a scope in my BF2 original game and Special Forces game. Any ideas of what weapon I was using?

Only weaps with red dot scope are M4 which is deafult US spec ops, the AK74u which is default MEC spec ops, the SCAR-L which is the Special Forces spec ops gun that you can use in vanilla and the P90 which is a 50 round SMG for the Anti Tank class.

You need SF expansion to be able to pick the SCAR-L and the P90 as unlocks for use in vanilla BF2.

The reason you sometimes get revived with a different kit is after 5 seconds of being critically wounded your kit bag appears next to you and becomes separated from your player character. On Karkand where lots of dying is going on in a confined area (Hotel) you often get revived with someone else's kit because upon revive the engine finds the closest kit bag and assigns it to you.

Drunken Pirate,

Thanks for your listing of red dot sighted weapons. I spent a lot of time looking at each possibility.

Strange as it might seem to me, it could be the P90 that I had for a short term. I looked at a video of the P90 and it fits the general visual profile that I remembered. From what I hear this really isn't a great weapon to have however as it supposedly is more inaccurate than the stock anti tank weapons.

The only other weapon from what I understand that somewhat fits the description would be the AK74.

Perhaps I'll accidentally pick up the weapon again so I can make a better visual match.

The P90 is pretty good if used properly, it has a large capacity magazine (50 rounds) but only 2 extra mags. I find it good for maps like Wake or other open maps where the DAO-12 is less effective.

Yes, 50 rounds would come in handy. Wish I could practice a little before commiting to the unlock. The unlocks are getting pretty far between now.

Here's what I have so far
1) G36C
2) G36E
3) PKM
4) DAO-12
5) L85 (What I use most as a medic)
6) Jackhammer
7) M95
8) G3
9) FN2000

With 10 as a question mark. From my understanding the P90 default weapon in the Euro Force expansion pack. That might be a decent reason for checking it out.
