This kind of stats for the autoloader is like telling people not to use it
uhm, why? you trade roughly 3 seconds reload (for the “clip”) against the ability to shoot your two shot burst in 2,5 seconds. sounds very legit to me. both guns seem balanced in my book.
We don’t have the gun dispersion values so can’t make a full judgement but the autoloading gun has an advantage in effective alpha damage (two 320 damage hits in 2.5seconds) and has better aim time and accuracy while the cyclic gun’s advantage is much better dpm.
It looks like WG has managed to create a legitimate gun choice where one isn’t massively superior to the other.
