Don't know about this weapon...The recoil is all over the place making it meh at range...The damage is fairly low too, making it meh overallIt's supposed to bridge SMG/AR stuff but it sucks at bothClip capacity makes it even worseSo you made a weapon that should make an AR feel like an SMG but... SMG's can already outclass AR's most of the time and the AM40 doesn't feel like any of that...Honestly, just make SMG's work like they should: NOT being able to laser down people at mid range like an AR is supposed to and increase their spread.The headshot nerf doesn't matter when SMG's are this accurate... I swear... Make guns work in their intended purposes! You guys are trying to make everything work in every situation but don't do that! Make these guns work for certain situations, as they were made for in real life!

Ah, before everyone jumps for being Mr. Negative again:I do like the improvements this game has had but this addition doesn't add much... It's an unlock which kinda amounts to just filling a quota.

At the moment (about 100 kills in) it feels worse than any of the alternatives that I could choose from for either AR or SMG

So in other words I should stop using it until they fix it.

The damage at most is 28 point blank into the head.Throw it away till they fix there new gun in a fps game.

@Daeyon-be Yeah this gun is just bad… no power behind it all and way too much recoil. Hard to use even at close range

@tom_looken Well I made a post about it. This gun is a mess I like the sound and feel of it. I was hoping at least the damage wouldn't be broken but I'm glad it'll eventually get buffed. I found from testing that the standard magazines are identical to the high power magazines.

@DaddyWarBukx 😁 hey I'm glad someone else noticed those shapes in the emblems and it made me wonder. ∆ this makes perfect sense and this backs up your claim. I was hoping this would be THE carbine of 2042. I miss my ACWR from bf4 I thought the AM40 might fill that spot

We have bug with AM 40 that its using the SMG headshot multiplier. Should get fixed in an upcoming update.

@EA_Atic nice that its being "fixed" but can you or anyone in the dev team elaborate if it was a last second change for the AM40 to be an AR since everything is still pointing for it to be an SMG rather than a AR...

@EA_Atic btw the standard issue also only has 20 rounds, yet the UI says 30....
just so your testers can have the needed information to replicate the issue

@X-Sunslayer-XThis also kinda shows that the stats for everything is still leaning towards it being an SMG (like the gun was made to be an SMG rather than an AR, outside the marketing that its an SMG in an AR body and was changed last second), most of the SMG's have 20 round mags non extended

@EA_Atic Any idea if the incorrect ammo count on normal mags is getting fixed too? Should be a 30 round mag according to the menu, but it's a 20 round mag in-game.

@SCUBASTEVE120 I saw that too doing testing range on portal guess having a new gun that work's in a fps game is a brtual expectation.
