M4 vs AK105

Saccho

First, what's different about the AK105?

• Slightly more sway
• More recoil, but less variability than the M4
• More damage, but it falls off sooner and more severely
• Slower ROF (600 rpm vs 700 rpm for the M4)

Graphs!
Beyond mid-range, the AK105 is inferior to the M4. It fires more slowly and requires more hits.


Beyond ~17 meters, the M4 will kill a full-health opponent faster than the AK105.


Conclusions

• For long ranges, stick to the M4.
• If you're fighting mostly revived enemies, they'll have 30 HP. The AK105 is a one-hit upper torso kill on them out to 24 meters. At ranges beyond 24 meters, both weapons are two-hit kills.
• For ranges below 17 meters, the AK105 is a better choice.

How'd you go about getting the data to get these numbers? Interesting stuff! I'll take note to start picking up the AK105 when I see it for those times I'm rushing about.

It's possible to get the info out of the game's .u files.
