Why the SCAR-L Ruined 5.56’s Weapon Balance in 12.12
2,286SCAR vs M4, which is better? In today’s video we’ll be doing a deep dive into how the SCAR, the M4 and the MDR all compare. Recently it has been fairly well popularised how the SCAR’s recoil feels WAY better than the M4, with the MDR somewhere in the middle - partly just down to the rate of fire of these weapons and the recoil increases in 12.12, but also because of some extra details about the handling of these weapons that causes the SCAR to outperform.
Doing some deep dive analysis on all three weapons, we’ll be determining how much impact there is to semi auto performance, where the recoil stat is comparable outside of full auto and attempting to explain why the M4 feels so bad to use this wipe.
The overall conclusion is that the SCAR-L is likely the best of these three weapons when factoring in recoil, overall handling and economics, with the MDR as a close second and the M4 trailing off in the distance with only it’s lower potential TTK really providing any sort of material benefit to the user.
