Scope on Assault Rifle? | Forums

Are you sure about the least Bullet Drop at the Mk14? I heard several times the M1891 and the SR1 have the least Drop.
Would be great as I like the Mk14.

Yes. But you need to use t5xi, range finder, long barrel to max out on the range stat. Note that range stat is still added even if the bar is already full in the stats window.
So sadly, if you want to run it with laser and g28 scope as a DMR/AR hybrid, the bullet drop will be severly affected.
Loved the mk14 aswell for its looks and amazing ballistics until i learned that the sr-25 deals twice as much damage.

Same here, I also went over to the SR25. Both G28 and MK14 would be much better for my personal Playstyle, but unfortunately they feel broken.

Another Thing, afaik only Barrel und Range Finder affect Bullet Drop. So I'm not sure about the T5XI Scope.

A good argument for giving us number stats instead of bars. Provided they are accurate.

GIEF!

Love it! Did someone mod that in on the PC? Or did PC get access to a DLC/patch that added it early?

Heres proof that scope actually affects bullet drop:
I went to koani Bravo (most of my weapon tests take place there) and shot the x from 500m. The first group that is touching the x is with rangefinder, long barrel and t5 scope. I then went into weapon menu without moving the mouse at all and equipped the posp. Shot another group and that is the group below. So you can actually see that scope really affect bullet drop

Edit: The bullet drop difference isnt that much though, so id allways advice to go for the scope that fits your preference.

Good to know, thank you Sir!

I would say bullet drop is a very good way to balance snipers vs assault rifles. I am so tired of snipers having damage and zoom as the only advantage.

I just put it together with Paint.net xD
