AF-4 Cyclone vs GD-7F Which is the better close range NC gun?

[TGxCraig]

I posted a link to my AF-4 Cyclone review here a little while ago and there was quite the debate on whether the GD-7F was still the better CQC gun and which was still the better guns for LAs. Because of this, I made this video to talk about the weapon stats that stand out and which really help out the LA class (or any player as any class that is aggressive, always on the front lines, and often fighting multiple opponents). Looking at the stats on paper are nice, but what do they actually mean once in game and in a fight? That's what I sought to answer in this video.


What do you guys think? Did I leave anything out? Those of you hardcore GD-7F users, did this make you more inclined to check out the AF-4? For those of you who have only trialed the gun, will you now check it out again?

My 2 favorite NC guns(not counting shotguns.)

I would mention that the advanced laser sight is really nice also. There is almost no point in aiming at all once you equip it(yet I still instinctively ail so the clip probably serves me better.)

And I think you cant emphasize enough that the Cyclone really shines for people who dont have spot an accuracy since you can just keep spraying while you settle on the target.

But over all for my LA I think the GD-7F is better.

And for my Engineer the Gauss S carbine is better because of the unlimited grenades.

Thanks for the vid mate. Pretty nice analysis

Well, I don't play NC, but the beauty of carbines, in my opinion, is that their close range capabilities do not obsolete them at medium or long range.

As I have progressed, I have come to prefer them over LMGs and, even in some cases, ARs.

So, for me, I love the SMGs aesthetically, as they are the most decent looking and sounding weapons in the game, but I find the tradeoff of close range superiority for medium range weakness to be too critical.

I'm trying real hard to avoid using the Cyclone, not working. Every other weapon we have is just so much... quirkier.
