Talk:Carnage AR/@comment-2605:6001:F5C0:DB00:4D31:6B64:1221:5E9D-20190223001529

Many players compare this to the GR-22 but the Carnage AR is really a mid-range weapon. The compensator is so the player can keep their aim on the head of the enemy for the headshot multiplier. The ugly horizontal recoil is mitigated by the low simple vertical recoil. With that, the compensator and the advanced forward grip are the attachments to use. The close-range abilities are dwarfed by the GR-22's rate of fire and soft point ammunition. I don't find strong sights all that useful because of the erratic recoil of the gun. The minimum horizontal recoil is what gives the Carnage AR most of the headshots. As such, the weapon doesn't have excellent accuracy and you are expected to miss shots. The rate of fire makes missing them more forgiving. For support medics who operate with little more distance from the enemy than the GR-22, the Carnage is simple and effective enough.
