    Police M4 could use a stability buff It's almost unusable even with high stability

    Hello,

    Thanks for reading, The police M4 is one of my favorite looking guns in the game next to the Compact version of the G36, being the G36 C. However, with my lvoa I can put weapon attachments on that have stability as a minor attribute, I have 2.5% on my scope, and 2.5% on my foregrip and the thing shoots very well indeed. This isn't exclusive to the LVOA-C though. Lightweight M4, and even the AK-74 are very nice to shoot with lower stability. Yeah they are still not perfect, but somewhat manageable. However I put 3 pieces of gear on with stability as a main stat on my police M4 and I still find it very hard to stay on target at mid range. I have 13% on the scope, 13% on my muzzle, and 13% on my foregrip. Thats a total of 39% stability compared to 5% on my other guns, and the thing still jumps in every direction. Its a little more tame, but relying on headshots is out the door, and even just aiming for body shots is less reliable than the other options, not to mention if your running 5% or even 13% stability on those guns, you can then use crit hit damage or headshot damage on those pieces (depending which piece) which helps Damage output.

    Burst fire it. Don't hold down the trigger for 60 rounds.

    I'm comparing stability on guns with the exact same archetype, same ROF and dmg, yet one jumps all over vertically and horizontally. Just stating I think it could use a small stablity buff, Assault rifles should be "manageable" when shooting mid close. meaning 15-20m.

    While burst fire might be a solution so I can use the gun that I like. Its just a bummer. I do burst fire with my LVOA-C and my lightweight m4 sometimes too. But the difference is, I can burst like 15 bullets or more. With the Police M4, its more like 4 or 5 bullet bursts in succession. Which makes your damage output low.

    lw m4 is more stable then LVOA-C. Police seems to be the most common, it seems to be noticably more stable with rarity of the weapons with the lw m4 being the rarer and more stable.

    Burst fire is king and your girlfriend/wife will love you for it once you learn to use it.

    ACR are the best imo, when it comes to stability/accuracy. I use Striker build, test all the AR with all the talents, but ACR is the only one which can go full auto and land 80% of the shots.
    Test a "naked" ACR and you will see it's the only AR which stops half way ( comparted to any other AR ) when comes to vertical stability. As for horizontal, it has no issues. Also RoF and base dmg are on pair with any other weapons.

    I'm currently using an LVOAC after picking up a decent one, better than the one for sale in BOO, but, I have an ACR that I will never get rid of, everything you've said about is correct imo, for me the best gun in the game.

    Isn't this how it is suppose to be? Some AR's have more control over others. My only issue is with the burst and the MDR. Burst should have more stability and accuracy then the full autos and the one semi-auto MDR should have the greatest Stability and accuracy of them all.

    I still think I'd like to see them switch out the 'mark target' button for a 'fire mode' button.

    Full auto = Least stability
    Burst = Medium stability
    Semi auto = Max stability
