The thunder will definitely be the next best gun. with a stock 14 fire rate and a 120 mag it easily beats out other lmgs and almost if not all ar. if you guys see another gun thats better do tell. thanks

thunder will deal 2800 dps and saw will deal 2400 dps but a full clip of the thunder does 24000 dmg if every bullet hits the saw will do 25500 dmg if every bullet hits. the better lmg is going to be the lmg with the best accuracy ive never used a thunder but my saw is very accurate can anyone tell me if the thunder is more accurate?
it really depends on what each gun has on it if they have -accuracy for both then i would say the thunder because it has no recoil but again the saw is a little bit more accurate but with the thunder having no recoil its diffidently the better choice
the natural recoil on thunder is about .18 recoil
saw is about.80
You do realize the Thunder's cross hairs take a moment to tighten up as you fire it. Where as other guns like AR are Aim and shoot.
I know its not exactly what you asked but I enjoy using Rockers.
It effects the weapons mobility...Doesn't matter what the stats say. If you need to stand still with it to maintain fire then I wouldint consider it "definitely be the next best gun" as you put it.
For sure it has fire power. But its good at what IT does. Not the over all best.
Don't worry, after testing it in the Alpha Server, I can tell you that the SAW is still a beast weapon.
but better than a 14 fire rate and 120 mag stock thunder?
The thunder will be good for sustained and accurate fire. It will still deal a lowish 200 DMG per bullet, but its accuracy and increased fire rate should increase its lethality. Hip fire and crit damage will still be terrible.
VBI LM-43 Thunder (LMG):
200 dmg x 14 fire rate = 2800 damage per second.
14 fire rate * 5 seconds / 120 mag = 0,583 seconds to reload 14 bullets.
60 secs * 2800 dmg / (0,583 + 1) = 106.128 (non critical) to 106.128 (critical) damage per minute .
VBI Assault Rifle (Assault Rifle):
222 dmg x 12 fire rate = 2664 damage per second.
12 fire rate * 2.5 seconds / 45 mag = 0,666 seconds to reload 12 bullets.
60 secs * 2664 dmg / (0,666 + 1) = 95.942 (non critical) to 143.913 (critical) damage per minute .
FRC Saw (LMG):
300 dmg x 8 fire rate = 2400 damage per second.
8 fire rate * 4.5 seconds / 85 mag = 0.424 seconds to reload 8 bullets.
60 secs * 2400 dmg / (0.424 + 1) = 101.124 (non critical) to 151.686 (critical) damage per minute.
An human head is around 13.33% of human body, lets calculate if 13.33% of bullets hit the head and 86.66% of bullets hit the body:
* VBI LM-43 Thunder: 91.971 (non critical) + 14.147 (critical) = 106.118 damage per minute.
* VBI Assault Rifle: 83.143 (non critical) + 19.184 (critical) = 102.327 damage per minute.
* FRC Saw: 87.634 (non critical) + 20.220 (critical) = 107.854 damage per minute.
