Higher Variation of Suppressed Weapons

[Epsilon 349 33]

Currently, we have 1 assault rifle, 2 sub-machineguns, and one pistol that are suppressed.

I would like to suggest that the MK17(SCAR-H) CCO SD be added to the game.

-it would be the first suppressed 7.62 rifle to be added, which would have more stopping power than the M4A1 CCO SD but have slightly less range.

-Considering it is also a much larger round, it would be the loudest suppressed weapon in the game. you sacrifice stealth for power.

-It would also add MK17 SD magazines to the game, so it cant run off ammo that could previously be found and further distinguish itself from the M4.

-These magazines only hold 20 rounds, whereas STANAGs hold 30. another sacrifice to think about that would also reward accurate shooters and punish sprayers.

Overall, i do not see this as the addition of some overpowered gun. It has pros and cons that would influence one's decision to use it over an m4. the ammo could be scarce, or it could be a weapon only found at Heli crash sites.

i'm just throwing this idea out there. i'm not going for anything creative, just something else to keep people hunting and to help diversify the weapon pool of this mod.

and why the heck it would has lover range then m4 sd, while having more powerful round?

silenced AR that oneshots zombies seems cool. but it will be crash-site only weapon i suppose.

in real life, the 5.56 travels much farther than the 7.62 because it is a lighter round that requires less kinetic energy. this also relates to the muzzle report being louder because of the extra energy required to give power to that round. if you ask any gun expert about this, they will agree. i'm sure there are plenty of videos on youtube on the issue as well

Uh, what?

Subsonic 5.56mm travels not nearly as far, due to it not having as much mass as a subsonic 7.62mm round. Subsonic 5.56 is about as good as a subsonic .22 LR, while subsonic 7.62mm is going to have a bunch more kinetic energy and momentum, allowing it to travel further.

even so, dont forget, that scar have longer barrel to compensate that

Barrel length affects velocity. The longer the barrel, the higher the velocity (in general). BUT, when it comes to subsonic rounds, barrel length usually has no real effect on accuracy.

In fact, most of the time a shorter barrel will be more accurate, due to less barrel warping during firing.
