Talk:HC1 Cougar/@comment-108.84.77.227-20170225125928

HC1 Cougar was for the most part a carbon copy of the Razor GD-23 with the only really notice-able exception being magazine size and ammunition pool. However with the Nov. 2, 2016 update, it has more of it's own identity now with a faster fire-rate.

Ammunition pool is very important for a weapon like this since this is a longer range oriented carbine and light assaults typically go to places where engineers cannot. Cougar will not dissappoint the TR soldier in this.

The 2-shot burst mode feels really nice with the Cougar, because unlike other weapons, it has a low vertical recoil for the damage it does combined with a compensator, and it has a very quick recoil decrease. The burst mode is painless compared to a lot of other weapons with similar burst mechanism. This allows you maintain precision without expanding your cone of fire too much, but you won't be firing so slow, because of sheer distance your vertical recoil kicks and recoi decrease speed not being fast enough.

Not a hip-firing weapon. T5 AMC is going to be better even with a compensator for hip-fire thanks to it's low bloom hip-fire. HC1 Cougar is a dedicated ADS weapon. Cougar has a cone of fire where head-shots will be more reliable than most TR weapons at range. High velocity ammo significantly increases medium tier damage range, which is the vast majority of your engagements should be up to 54 meters, or before 55 meters. Where the Cougar is lacking is muzzle velocity. 600 is decent with HVA, but the T5 AMC out-does it with 650 meters-per-sec. Recoil reducing attachments and strong sights of 3.4x, or even the 4x is suggested.
