Rifle comparison

Mxm 6.5 vs Promet MR 6.5. Is one superior to the other? Or are they pretty close in terms of damage/accuracy?

Nobody knows. You'd think there'd be data like that available for every weapon in the game but there's not, so we just have to guess at it..Next best thing is to try out the weapons ourselves in the editor or wherever, because at least that way we can check out the sights, rate of fire, recoil severity, mag capacity etc.

Of course there's data available. Just open the config viewer and find the weapon and ammo.
Testing it in practise would give more intelligible image of the differences though.

The Mx is more balanced (less recoil, good stability, etc...), though the promet is more powerful.

Thanks, if you mean Tutorials>Virtual Arsenal it works fine, you get 5 White slider bars, and according to them the Promet MR 6.5 is better than the MXM 6.5....Basically both their 'Impact' ratings are the same, but the Promet has better Rate of fire, better Accuracy, and is lighter in weight..
The only category in which the MXM is better is 'Range' but I don't know what makes that better.

Yeah, i did a bit of messing around in Eden. Faster fire lighter but the lack of a forward grip makes it less accurate/ more gun sway. As for damage they preformed similar, the only difference is the Promet can 1 tap a Defender Helmet from 100m where the MXM is a 50/50 or doing so.

promet is pretty much equal in terms of damage. it's more accurate than MX, but takes a little longer to actually reload. The underbarrel shotgun is great for CQB while MX 3GL is great for open areas, and JTAC marking

Thanks, yes magazine capacity is important because we don't want to have to be defenceless for vital seconds while reloading, but sadly I don't think mag capacity is mentioned in the Virtual Arsenal so I suppose we'll have to check it out "hands on" with the "Try" option..:)
