Hey folks, so I am wanting to give players something to consider other than the VHX that has a good balance for close / mid range engagements. Take a look at the damage profiles for both weapons below. With this alone it may appear that the VHX always wins. However, the additional spread added in a recent update changes things up a bit, especially mid range. In the full video I identify that one weapon has a better spread and recoil profile (M5A3), while the other has a better damage profile (VHX). So, which is better? Does the greater damage profile of the VHX offset its greater spread compared to the M5. I make my own conclusions I provide the evidence for you to decide and test yourself. Let me know your thoughts please.Full video - https://youtu.be/pOvV9dNkAJM

@YT_SMKGAMINGDid you test all the different set ups with different ammo and accessories? I’ve T1d all the weapons, and now run M5 and Deagle. I can throw a long barrel and a 6 power with hi power ammo and snipe. I can run short barrel with the close combat ammo and tear up a room really easily. I prefer the M5 over the VHX as much because I don’t need to reload the M5 as much. Besides, the server tick rate dictates how many of our bullets hit and we all know that’s all over the map. So in any game one might end up better and it’s out of our control. I say run the gun you think is best and for you… it’s the best.

So, this is an add for your video site...

Hardly ever use either weapon. But, when I did I found the VHX was a bit of a faster shot. Love the M5A3 though definitely a weapon I want under my pillow at night 😎

I would still use the M5A3 over the VHX in most situations

@GrizzGolfI recently enjoyed completing T1 with the M5A3, it's a fairly decent all rounder. 👍

@sk1lldI am creating a discussion, and I want to show what I found. You want me to post my 2000 word script in here? I make videos to show this stuff which is detailed, and far easier to show

@RayD_O1 I also recently completed the M5A3 T1, it's a nice allround AR.

Up close the VHX still dominates, so for example on Redacted you'd better go with that one. But any normal Conquest or Breakthrough where you have different engagement distances I'd go for M5A3 or SFAR.
