The first unlock you can get for the Recon class by playing co-op is the M39 EMR medium to long range sniper gun.
Now, I don't know about you guys, but I'm not a massive fan of the Recon class, but you do get some really cool gadgets that can help out the team when you level the class.
I have, however, found it quite difficult to level the Recon class, and thus get better guns and equipment - but a nice way to get a new gun is to actually play some co-op with a friend. At about 54000 co-op score, you unlock the M39 EMR semi-automatic rifle.
LevelCap did a very nice review for the gun in the video below, so if you want to play some Recon, and haven't decide which gun will be the one, check this out:
It's a semi automatic rifle, which is what I would prefer, and it take 10 rounds per clip, 11 if you have a round chambered as well. So as far as Recon guns go, this one is pretty easy to unlock, just get a friend and do some co-op missions!

Hi guys, with the Back 2 Karkand expansion for Battlefield 3, Dice created a new game mechanic called Assignments - these have certain requirements or goals that you must get, and the rewards are really worth it.
Probably the easiest assignment to get, is the Assault one - now those who know me, know that I like to play the Assault class most, and with that I completed the Assault assignment quite quickly, and my reward was the FAMAS Assault Rifle.
See this excellent video on the gun itself:
To unlock this gun is really quite easy - you need 10 heals and 10 revives while playing the Assault class. (the assignment is called "Best Friend Forever".
When I unlocked the gun, I immediately switched over to it, and I must admit it is now my favourite gun! It has a rate of fire of 900 rounds per minute, which is pretty much the fastest firing gun in the game.
It also has 3 firing modes (single shot, 3-round burst and full automatic) - the clip takes a very nice 30 rounds (31 if you chamber a round as well).
The only drawback, which is also confirmed in the video clip above, is the long reloading time. Also, when you start off, the iron sight of the gun is terrible, so just stick to that first 10 kills to unlock the ACOG scope, it gets a lot better after that!
If you're used to quicker reloading weapons, this gun will take some time getting used to, and you'll probably have to change the way you play a bit to adjust, but in a few games you're already used to it (also good because it teaches you to use your sidearm more - since I've been using the FAMAS, I've got quite a few more kills with my sidearm :)
At the time of writing this, I've racked up about 90 kills, 20 of which were head shots, with a not-too-bad accuracy (for me at least!) of 15.4%
So, if you like playing Assault, keep healing and reviving your teammates, and you'll unlock this beauty in no time!
I don't know about you, but so far the Assault class is my favourite. I came across this video, and find the tips and hints the guy gives quite valuable, so check it out if you like playing Assault:
