I missed a crutial detail on the medic weapons: FULL AUTO RIFLES

Battlefield 1 General Discussion

So I made a thread a while back that was a fiercely debated topic regarding damage that semi auto rifles deal. I was debating that the min damage of 28 was too low and some agreed and some didnt.

However, I have realized a very crucial detail that I missed and that is the rifle in question that only did 28 damage which is the cei rigotti rifle is select fire; It can be switched to fully automatic and same can be said about the m1907.

the mondragon rifle is semi auto only but has a max damage of 35.

What does this mean? the medic class may become the most diverse weapon class.

One last note, A while ago, I was complaining about the m1907 Winchester being a weak semi auto. With the full auto function, this makes for a much stronger m1907. the only thing (this is a total nitpick) is in my opinion, the M1907 should be semi auto only like it’s real life counterpart and damage be balanced accordingly

TL;DR 28 is good… Anything higher is op…

So the rifles that can go semi or full auto are effectively Battle Rifles. Meaning the medic basically has a DMR crossed with an AR.

I’m curious to see if the medic class will get the BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle). Or if it will go to the support class.

I’m sure Support will get the BAR.

Also, I’ve mentioned before, but select-fire versions of the Winchester M1907 DID exist. They were also issued with either a 15-round or 20-round magazine.

I’m really hoping the medic will have competitive weapons. Stonemountain said the ones from the event were not very good.
If they don’t get good weapons we won’t be seeing too many revives or medkits.

A would assume the medic would get it, a support with a 20 round mag weapon sounds absurd
