What's better the Stingray Rifle or CQBR Assault rifle?

[Muton]

I can't imagine shooting rifle bullets in full auto, what a waste. Do they even use the same rifle ammo?

[Dr. Atrocious]

They use the same ammo. Without unlimited ammo, CQBR is worthless. Stingray is clearly better.

Thats what I thought.. RIfle ammo is precious to me, shooting it full auto is ridiculous

I think only the TMP and Le 5 are the two guns that use sub-machinegun ammo

And the chicago sweeper, though that becomes a non-issue once you get the exclusive

Semi firing is a thing. The CQBR does more damage / shot but has less penetration also I’m tired of explaining that

Yes of course a carbine can't use submachine gun ammo.

Nope., the Stingray does more damage per shot than the CQBR AR.

Explaining what? This is the first time you've said that to me. If you're referring to other threads and other users, then that is not my problem.

Penetration power is more important, especially when fighting regeneradors. If you want power to quickly kill bosses without exploits, then that's what the RPG or Magnums are for. It's a waste to use and upgrade CQBR.

Stingray will be better if you want to land precise and consistent hit. CQBR has a high recoil which cause your camera to shake a lot (which is especially ass if you are on controller) and bolt action causes you to shift out of aim every time you shoot.

CQBR damage output will be worse unless you exclusive upgrade it and the recoil will also make it extremely hard to hit weakspot from afar. Bolt will only have 0.2 more damage by contrast while having significantly lower fire, capacity and reload rate.

Stingray is probably the best rifle all around if you don't plan on any exclusive upgrade for rifles. They're very effective for their price and you can spend the peseta upgrading other things or buying RPG.

If you fully upgrade all rifles then by comparison Stingray has the worst damage per round output but still the best for landing hits as it doesn't have the issue of high recoil or break out of aim like CQBR or the bolt action.

My only downside to the gun is how meh their exclusive is in comparison and I like CQBR and Bolt actions look over the more plastic look Stingray has.

TLDR
Stingray is a better all rounder weapon with its strong point being very accurate, low recoil, relatively high damage without upgrading.

Bolt Action is best for damage per round if fully upgraded but is also the slowest weapon and has the draw back of having to shifting out of scope every time you fire

CQBR is best for damage per second if fully upgraded but has extremely high recoil making it not ideal for consistently hitting things from afar repeatedly like Stingray can consistently.

Some people might tell you that CQBR will drop more ammo but thats not how the ammo drop work. Ammo drop is based on ammo remain in your case not based on how large the clip is. An empty bolt action/Pump action shotgun will drop just as much ammo as an empty CQBR and Striker. It's especially pointless on pro because ammo drop tends to below enough that the ammo bonus from adjusted difficulty is always active and the bonus is active until you reached 1 full stack of ammo in your inventory.

CQBR feels badass against bosses.

And if you're going for headshots, which you should, a maxed out CQBR won't feel all that different from Stingray in single fire

I know right?

But we always have newcomers so the explanation is endless

Also due to how capacity size affecting rng drop, CQBR other than high firing speed, the real difference is the rifle ammo highly favored by rng drop.

The penetration thing only become a significant problem when fighting Regeneradors / Wandering Soul

Ok thz for the award.

I'm a robot guy so don't ever expect me to say something like

There's no doubt that it feels cool to use. It is a fun weapon. Problem is, it's not more efficient than using an RPG or a Magnum against bosses and it's penetration isn't as good as Stingray's. Against regular enemies, the Stingray and CQBR aren't any different which is exactly why the Stingray is the better option since it's more useful in the long run due to being capable of downing regeneradors in a few shots.

Good luck finding as much magnum ammo as rifle ammo. I'll leave the RPG out of it because that statement is ridiculous.

As for the rest - by all means, use Stingray then. I used CQBR and had a great time. No issues with regenerators, 1 shot kills a parasite. How much more penetration do you need?

Everything you said is offset by the fact that CQBR has full auto. Don't want full auto? Don't use CQBR.

I don't get complaints like that. It's the whole beauty of RE4, all weapons are viable. People complain that Punisher has weak damage and ignore the fact it has penetration. Then they say they don't need penetration. So why use Punisher then? Same here
