  1. this is some great work on tall the ammo/armor testing, but why would you run anything but M61 if you got some money or are doing quests?
    Feels like M61 should get some form of nerf, or just become craftable/FIR only, 2 tapping everything makes all other ammo more or less useless

  2. the reduction of penetration of the base level rounds is concerning. If anything, we need to see increased penetration of lower-tier ammo, to somewhat even out the difference between top-tier and bottom-tier players.

  3. I'm going to do some testing with sniping with the new round. It has an accuracy nerf to disincentivize sniping, but I believe it has great potential if it ends up costing as much or less than M995. Additionally it has less recoil which is great for the NF ATACR 🙂
    That velocity is nothing to ignore

  4. I don't know why you (or anyone for that matter) were saying M995 "should 2-tap on paper" when it does 40 dam, which means 2 shots equals 80 dam…..against an 85 HP torso.

    The fact that you had so many 2-taps with M995 means it fractures a LOT more than others. More than the wiki page says it should.
