Talk:Scout Rifles/@comment-2017893-20130109020147/@comment-2017893-20130112062538

Just wanted to make a small addition to my comment above. If playing as Vanu, yes, the guns have no bullet drop, because ALL Vanu weapons have no bullet drop.

In addition, both Scout Rifles and Battle Rifles have 0 gun sway. Both Vanu and the other two.

As a result, IF YOU ARE PLAYING VS, then all the above information is true. If you are playing either NC or TR, however, then only the "no gun sway" is true as thee NC and TR Scout Rifles are still affected by bullet drop.

However, this can also be lessened by the fact that the Artemis, Shadow (not the Stalker like I previously mentioned - the Shadow is the automatic one) and SOAS-20 are barely effected by bullet drop anyway. This is because the upward climb - even  with a compensator - on all three Automatic Scout Rifles makes fully automatic fire impossible beyond roughly 20 meters. Thus, they are best used as barely-past-shotgun-range ambush weapons - and they may be the most effective weapons in the entire game at that distance.

Either way, playing VS some now and I can tell you with certinty that my next purchase will be the Artemis - followed shortly by the Nyx to replace my bolt sniper.
