What's the ammo type for the CQBR assult rifle?

[P1oy K1ckshaw]

I just crafted several submachine gun ammo and the rifle doesn't seem to use it. Nor does it use the handgun ammo.

It's a rifle, so it uses that ammo.

Rifle uses rifle ammo. Dunno who is getting enough rifle ammo to want to use something like this over the bolt action or semi auto, but it exists.

it's use sniper rifle ammo it can be quite powerfull but you'll never get enought ammo to use it often

Lol that was funnier than I'd thought it'd be. It uses rifle ammo. I'd wager that the rifle ammo recipe (if there is one) unlocks before the Salazar fight or at the island.

Oh cool! I thought it'd be it's own ammo type.

funny enought there like 29 weapons and we only know a handfull

Yeah it's indeed rifle ammo. I remember these kind of guns used to use submachine gun ammo in the previous games like 4,5,6 or 2/3 remake so I got confused a little.

its rifle and yes its stupid. when i got it i noticed this immediately only because i had no smg on me. why not just have it use smg ammo? this is one thing im waiting for the modders to change (if possible).

Not really though. And if you do that with mods, you'll break the game. SMG ammo uses short rounds whereas a rifle uses long rounds, and those make a lot more damage. SMG ammo is hella accessible. If you turn them into long ammo for the M4, you'll pretty much mow through everything in your way with ease.

The assault rifle slaps, yall crazy. It's mainly a boss DPS weapon, I killed salazar with one mag dump, and it still works as a sniper rifle when you need to clear a couple of ranged enemies(assuming you get headshots).

No one is really arguing that point. It's just not practical for general use as a rifle. It's essentially just a DPS machine like the blacktail and mp5 are. Issue being it has one of the more expensive and rare ammo types which puts it on the backburner for use outside of a boss fight. If you use it for bosses it's great if it's a boss that will co operate with the required method of use. Outside of those specific cases it's less than ideal. The rate of fire will cause a lot of wasted ammo for a lot of players.

Yeah. You also use at least two stacks of ammo in one mag dump. The ammo which is hard to come by.

I just realized that CQBR has an awesome perk: 3x damage to weak points. That alone makes it an awesome alternative. But it leaves me with a question: are the heads of ganados considered weak points? And what about those "huge flowers" that come out of their heads?

The Stingray already has all the CQBR perks (3x weakpoint, penetration, scopes)
