Fit the weapon to the situation
Recoil tuning and ballistic limits are reference constants, not a measured accuracy score or a recommended engagement distance. Test your own burst size and aim speed in training mode.
Heuristic fit scores combine reference cadence, velocity, and control tuning. They are not player win rates.Open the recoil practice checklist →Strengths & tradeoffs
A high firing cadence can reward close-range tracking, while increasing ammunition consumption and making misses costly.
The reference muzzle velocity is comparatively high. Moving targets still require lead and the projectile slows over distance.
