MK1 VS MK18

[PUREPK TTV 448]

EVEN AFTER TESTING AND USING THE GUNS FOR YEARS I STILL CANT DECIDE

I dont know if the stats on regular arma are the same with olmypus but I would like to know all the differences between the mk1 and mk18

ive used both and heard mix thoughts about them but i am trying to find out which one is truly better

 

Ive created a chart to see what I thought of the 2

 

Fire rate - mk18

Bullet damage - Tie

Price - mk18

Recoil - MK1

pen damage - MK1

reload speed - Tie

CQC potential - mk18

Long rang potential - MK1

sound ( slience ) - mk18

looks, weight accessibility - MK1

overall

mk1 = 6 points

mk18 = 6 points

I'd actually have to give the long range potential to the MK18, due to its weight causing less sway.

I think the Mk1 reload is slightly faster.

I don’t know when it comes to values but there is a reason the mk1 is used by the majority of rebels. Low recoil makes this gun a lazer at cqc along with its great long range potential.

I thought mk18 did more pen and the mk1 was more accurate 

[Ludde 253]

Mk18 imo is better for long range

Mk1 has higher bullet velocity which makes it have a flatter trajectory and higher penetration. This is why it's the best to use for longer range engagements.

Mk18 easily has the edge in CQC with its higher fire rate.

Rip wasted so much time and money on the mk 18

I'm a MK1 type of guy - used the MK18 a whole lot when the MK18 and Rahim were the only 7.62 on the server... i just feel the higher velocity + lower recoil far makes up for the faster fire rate of the MK18... (if i want a CQC gun i usually for for the AK-12 for the high fire rate, 30 rd mag, virtually no recoil.)

I would say this test isnt clear since the genetics of a black person are clearly faster than a typical white guy.

[JebronLames 175]

tbh I prefer the mk18 when I use the mk1 and I prefer the mk1 when I use the mk18

Yeah but the ak couldn’t shoot through a tissue box

If you use any gun but this you need to uninstall.

The mk18 is more accurate than the mk1 at long range

has that been tested?

Far as I can tell all the bullets go straight. Unless you're referring to gun sway, which is not accuracy.

I mean, just speaking from my own experience of what it feels like. Test it in editor if you wanna see for yourself.

another thing i consider is when  buying and using a gun is price. MK18 is cheaper and yes, better at cqc firing fast. however i have had more double kills and triples with the mk1 because of the slower fire rate allowing me to save more bullets without reloading. mk18 and mk1 long range is half half and justifiable.

The real question lies mk1 having easier recoil and better ifrit pen. but being slower and more expensive. On top of that yes the mk18 has a little less sway in long ranges

I'm talking about where the bullet lands, with the mk1 you have to aim higher. For ex: If your shooting someone who is 1km out your gonna have to aim somewhere around 930m. But with mk18 you don't have that problem

No, we don't change anything with the gun damage. The only damage handlers we have are for Ghosthawks and Armed Hurons when hit with bullets, and Titans vs all Helis. That's off the top of my head anyway.

Doesn't really make sense because the Mk1 fires the same round at a higher velocity. But then again it wouldn't be the first time Bohemia was wrong about their own stats, so I'll take your word for it.

Ya I posted a video about it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMq1dLm-y38. In the video it also shows how inaccurate the ak12 is

Well I see what you're saying now. It's not really a question of accuracy but it comes down to bullet velocity. And you don't have to aim higher with the Mk1 as you said, you have to aim lower because the bullet travels at a flatter trajectory as it is faster so it doesn't drop off as quickly as the AK12 round does or the Mk18.

 

I think what you mean to say is that the ARCO is more reliable on the Mk18 than it is on the AK12 or the Mk1, because the range markers on the ARCO correctly represent where the bullet will land with the Mk18. I'm curious since the RCO is the blufor scope if it would work better with the Mk1. Something to test.

so whats the conclution then on whats the better gun to use?
