Actally...
It's about equivalent, both are instantaneos hit scan... I think it just seems like it takes longer, between lag, and you see the scan. You don't see the sniper scan, so it feels faster. As well, the damage difference is noticable. Rails do 100, dunno if they do more for heads...
Another thing about rails though, is that they go through. This can make it better for the less skilled, 'cause every so often you get lucky, and get 2. At the same time, it could take skill to plan it that way more. I do both, I'm somewhere between with it right now. It does promote spammin' it in heavily conjested areas. Neither are really as skill dominated as they are ping dominated... speaking from a multiplayer inet stand point.
