I started using BR rather than DMR just so I could see for myself the supposed power imbalance. I immediately noticed that the BR was indeed weaker at long ranges. It seemed slightly more efficient at mid/close range, probably due to having three chances to hit that 5th shot to the head.
But an unexpected side effect I noticed that on THREE seperate occasions in one game I detonated grenades as they were being thrown. Usually, this was in instances where they were beat, they knew they were beat, so they went for the desperation sticky from the grave. It was extremely satisfying to see the grenade blow up in their face and kill them even earlier than a 5 shot.
The next two games this same occurrence happened once per game. It never happened while I was using DMR. I’m fairly convinced that the BR 3 shot burst is responsible for the premature detonation.
Anyone else found this? thoughts?
