I just did some eye testing with a local controller in forge mode, and 50% of the time the DMR would beat the AR when both characters opened fire at the same time, but it is hard to tell if my coordination was well timed or not.
I dont think the dmr is quite that fast… Also If I can remember the spreadsheet correct the carbine can achieve the fastest kill if you can hit every shot.
What irks me about posts like these is the assumption that time to kill matters even a little bit for weapons that are NOT automatic. Silly min-maxers.
this cant be right. it shows the lightrifle zoomed being slower than most of the other weapons. its the fastest by far. zoomed it kills in the neighborhood of 1.4 sec
