I still prefer this weapon over the Dragunov in TDM, and I am eagerly awaiting some funds to get more skin crates to hopefully unlock the Dark Iron skin. However, one problem the R700 has that plagues only the R700 is the reload mechanics.

AUTO FIRE ATTACHMENT

Automatically ejects bullet after firing. Makes it possible to fire all bullets in R700 chamber automatically before needing to head to ammo station.

STATS

Accuracy: -50

Range: -50

Price: $1750

I've had lots of troubling rounds where I have the R700 equipped (in TDM and normal rounds) and I forget to reload after firing a round. Some random player with the M249 shows up in front of me, and im stuck reloading while he starts firing and then the "You're dead!" screen comes next. What makes things worse? I had my crosshairs on his head and he would've been dead had a bullet been ready.

My reasoning for this is because, despite being a bolt-action rifle, the wiki lists the R700 as a semi-automatic weapon. This attachment makes it possible for the player to keep firing the gun all 12 times (or more if vests are equipped) before needing to go to an ammo station. However, given the added bonus of being able to fire faster, this gives the gun less range and accuracy. This will effectively make the gun more useful in a panic situation (like if you're the last guy in arena and everyone starts rushing to you), but still make the gun reliable as a sniper if the Hawkview is equipped on TDM or PDM rounds.

Thank you for reading, I appreciate comments and suggestions to improve this post. why did i think you wanted to make the remington an actual automatic gun lol

anyway kudos, its a hassle for me too
