In this episode: the Remington R5 - an American rifle with an advanced gas-piston operated internal action.

The Remington's damage is high, in a similar tier to the AK-12: you'll kill in 3 shots up close, or 2 where one is a headshot.

At a distance you may need up to 5 shots to kill, however - although this is only at an extreme range. Although unlikely, landing headshots at this distance will yield a 4 shot kill instead.

Rate of fire is the lowest of all automatic weapons in the assault rifle category, at just 638 rounds per minute: this does help the stability of long-ranged automatic fire, but can make consistent close range performance troublesome.

Hipfire spread is on par with most of the other assault rifles, but the slow rate of fire may mean your enemy will be afforded sufficient time to retaliate during your attempts at unaimed fire.

Recoil is rather mild, courtesy of the slower rate of fire: even fully automatic fire can be used to some effect across the longer sightlines.

Aim time is standard for the Remington's class, at 300 milliseconds - and you'll move at 90 percent of the base speed.

However, magazine capacity is unusually low for an assault rifle, at just 24 rounds between reloads: extended mags will take this to 36 rounds instead.

Although the slower rate of fire helps ameliorate this issue, reloads may still be frequent: although the good news is that the Remington boasts the fastest resupplies in class, at just 2.46 seconds.

The Remington R5 is a stable and powerful platform that is capable of effectively eliminating your opponents with accurate automatic fire.

Its low recoil means you can accurately place shot after shot on your intended mark, even across the longer sightlines.

Paired with its high damage, you can cut through cover more easily and otherwise quickly despatch any enemy with well-placed fire.

One major downside is the slower cyclic rate: while this does help with regards to accuracy, you might find time to kill is slow at times.

This is particularly noticeable at a close range, where a faster-firing weapon will have plenty of time to spray you down while the Remington slowly discharges from its small magazine.

Still, as long as you keep your opponents at an arms reach and anticipate enemy assaults, the R5 will perform admirably.
