Default Light Weapons

Which weapons are light weapons? Are they the small-arms, or are the other regular weapons also part of that category -- because it seems that I gain Light Weapons experience from using weapons such as the Accurized Lacerator?

Light weapons are all firearms apart from Rocket Launcher or Chain gun.

So Lacerator (Accurised Aswell), Nailgun, Assualt Rifle (Accurised Aswell), Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Railgun and pistol.

The MG on some vehicles is considered light weapons also for some reason... gained lvl 1 Light Weapons from whoring the Hog's MG the other day.

These count towards light weapons XP.

Backstabs are light weapons XP. Any damage done by EMP/scramblers (against players) also are light weapons XP, although the actual disabling will count as Covert Ops XP.

Grenade and Plasma Launcher are light weapon XP. True.
Backstabs are light weapons XP. True.
Any damage done by EMP/scramblers (against players) also are light weapons XP, although the actual disabling will count as Covert Ops XP. NOT true. Just tested with bots. All your damage by the EMPs are Covert XP even on players.

So get it right yourself then!

Get it? Light weapon? Light? Because laser stands for 'Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation'?

Ha, so witty!

I keep saying "light" and it keeps sounding less and less like a word... and my boss thinks I'm clinically insane.

lol @ Kristus xD

Just go on saying "light".
The fact that it doesn't sound like a word is a good sign, because it secretly isn't. It's a strogg mechanism to harvest the world from inside the brains of humans.

Try finding synonyms of 'light' too, it's a very nice way of forcing yourself to bang your head against a wall.
