• 마지막으로, it possesses a headshot multiplier, providing an added advantage in certain situations.

Why SG550?

The SG550 stands out as an excellent assault rifle due to its remarkable attributes, including accuracy, vertical recoil control, and scoping time (광고). While its horizontal recoil, 손상, and reload time are satisfactory, one potential drawback is the muzzle flash. 그럼에도 불구하고, there are ways to address this concern, such as implementing modifications or employing a specific technique, though it’s crucial to be cautious about potential risks to vision.

One of the SG550’s strengths lies in its versatility, allowing users to customize the weapon according to their preferences using various builds, which will be discussed further in upcoming chapters.

Beyond its technical prowess, the SG550 provides a satisfying shooting experience, contributing to its reputation as a “jack of all trades” 총기. Its proficiency across different ranges, combined with precise control and favorable reload and ADS times, make it an appealing option for many users. 뿐만 아니라, the rifle’s adaptability to different attachments empowers users to fine-tune its properties to suit their individual preferences. 앞서 언급했듯이, the muzzle flash issue can be mitigated by utilizing a mid-range scope or attachments like the flash hider, muzzle break, or suppressor.

Despite these advantageous features, the SG550 has not gained widespread popularity among competitive players due to its Time to Kill (TTK) 성능. TTK, representing the theoretical time required to eliminate an opponent based on bullets per second and bullet damage, is not the strongest aspect of the SG550. 하지만, it is essential to acknowledge other vital factors in gunfights, such as the superior scoping time of the SG550, especially when compared to other assault rifles with longer ADS times. It should be emphasized that the numerical charts do not encompass all aspects of weapon performance. While the SG550 may not be considered part of the current meta, it should not be underestimated, and its ease of handling can offer an advantage to skilled users.

When compared to SMGs, the SG550 presents competitive reload times and recoil control, with the added benefits of enhanced accuracy, 범위, and bullet velocity. While this may not significantly impact some users, it can be crucial for tasks such as engaging helicopter pilots. 게다가, the SG550’s capability to damage vehicles sets it apart from certain SMGs that lack this feature.

Muzzle Flash Workaround

Employing the tactical barrel in conjunction with the B-25 URK grip effectively transforms this firearm into a highly accurate weapon, boasting a swift 2.3-second reload time. 그럼에도 불구하고, the trade-off entails dealing with an irritating muzzle flash.

다행스럽게도, there exists a simple yet effective workaround to nullify the disruptive muzzle flash. By utilizing a medium scope, you can effectively obstruct the visibility of the muzzle. Opt for a medium scope equipped with a center sight, relying on this central sight during your engagements.

Observe the notable distinction this approach can make.

You may not notice any distinction at this moment. Give it a shot in Practice Mode to see for yourselves. 몸소, I’m not a fan of employing the centered sight on a medium scope, but it’s surprisingly effective.

짓다 #1: No recoil, no eyes

Underbarrel Rail: B-25 URK or Vertical Grip
통: Tactical

시력: up to your preferences
Camouflage: up to your preferences
Side Rail: up to your preferences
잡지: Quick-A magazine

왜? This setup incorporates a tactical barrel that significantly reduces recoil. Given the already low recoil, I suggest using the B-25 URK grip, which remarkably speeds up reload times. 대안으로, if you prioritize reducing vertical recoil, the vertical grip is a suitable choice.

Keep in mind that this build doesn’t address the issue of muzzle flash, which could potentially cause visual impairment during use. 하지만, there is a simple workaround discussed in an appropriate chapter to mitigate the muzzle flash problem.

짓다 #2: 정확한, no muzzle

Underbarrel Rail: Vertical Grip
통: Flash Hider or Muzzle Break

시력: up to your preferences
Camouflage: up to your preferences
Side Rail: up to your preferences
잡지: Quick-A magazine

This build incorporates either the Flash Hider or Muzzle Brake to eliminate muzzle flash, allowing the use of regular sights. 하지만, these attachments increase vertical recoil, which is why I equip a vertical grip to mitigate the vertical recoil.

When comparing the Flash Hider and Muzzle Brake, the former results in slightly higher vertical recoil but significantly reduces horizontal recoil and improves accuracy. Since vertical recoil can be easily compensated for with a vertical grip, I prefer the Flash Hider because addressing horizontal recoil is also crucial. The variation in vertical recoil is approximately 0.07 (when using a vertical grip).

Choosing the Muzzle Brake might be an option if you prioritize neither horizontal recoil nor accuracy. 그럼에도 불구하고, considering the marginal difference, I believe the Flash Hider is the better choice.

짓다 #3: 운동화

Underbarrel Rail: Vertical Grip or B-25 URK or SE-5 grip
통: Short Suppressor

시력: up to your preferences
Camouflage: up to your preferences
Side Rail: up to your preferences
잡지: Quick-A magazine

Why should you consider this build? It incorporates the Short Suppressor, effectively reducing muzzle noise and enhancing stealth during night maps. 추가적으로, it adds a satisfying pew-pew sound to your weapon. To mitigate the slight increase in recoils caused by the Short Suppressor, the B-25 URK grip can be employed. This grip also improves reload time. 대안으로, the SE-5 grip can be utilized to further reduce recoil, but personally, I value faster reloads.

If you are contemplating the use of a Long Suppressor, it’s not advisable. This attachment significantly elevates vertical recoil, necessitating the adoption of a vertical grip to counteract it. 대신에, sticking with the Short Suppressor is a better option, as it raises all recoils moderately, which can then be managed with the B-25 URK grip, benefiting reload time as well.
