Well here's a wrinkle for ya. I have HSFX installed and my .50 cals are quiet also. I like the ones in 1.2 so I copied the PRESETS and SAMPLES folders and placed them in my Files folder in the HSFX install I have. The .50s were back to being loud. So, I took out all the other files in both folders that I did not want, but when I went back into the game, my .50s were quiet again. That made me think that there is either another file that the .50s are using or another file AUGMENTING the sounds of the .50s.
