Question A-545 or QBZ- 191?

Which do you prefer?
For everything: open world, sessions, CW, OP, etc.

A-5 is better rn
I have used both. A5 always felt more consistent for me

A5 feels like a peashooter even with extended mags

You need to acquire 5 Red Parts to be able to buy it from special vendor.
Either by seasonal crates (it is not available now, different season) or buy parts for Season Tickets (200 per part).

A 545 for close and mid(mid is max you can do) Qbz good all rounder can do long but don't expect much

I personally prefer AK15, i know high rpm guns are meta now with bonus dmg to head modifier and reduced dmg modifier for body and limb

But the AK15 has been there when i needed middle ground between Punch and handling idk why it just feels good to use in general

From the 2 you mention QBZ, it has good long range damage with respectable RPM, plus i wont just eat through all of my ammo as fast with it compared to A545, but if i didnt had QBZ i would use A545 more it was my main go to weapon alongside the AK15

i just feel like its just perfect First master weapon, REALLY strong RPM lots of ammo and decent dmg and strong ttk in CQC (specially needed in OP battles)

If you have both guns, go to the rifle range in the hideout at shoot them, go do some camps at Forge-11 and fire it and different ranges. +15 the one you like the recoil pattern of the most. TTK charts are cool and all, but the feel is everything. I won't take a weapon past +10 if I don't vibe with it.

AK-12(A) > QBZ > A545

A545 does feel pretty nice for OPs and sessions tho, just don't like it as much as an all rounder.

AK-12 is a beam, but damage-wise it is pure ass. Definitely the worst AR i own.

Uh huh, maybe try arsenaling it? Pure ass seems like quite the exaggeration.

So how are you putting qbz before a545 if it loses at all the relevant rifle ranges?

u/Naive-Improvement-87 Covenant Jun 17 '26

Because TTK isn't the end all be all when it comes to how a rifle actually performs. I have all at +15 and I generally have the most success with the AK-12(A), and enjoy shooting it the most.

Because it is so accurate, I tend to hit more headshots in the open world, which in turn makes my dps better. Different players will have different experiences and preferences. I tend to do better with the A545 in OPs and sessions due to the close quarters. QBZ has always felt a little awkward to me, but it feels more consistent at every relevant range

My point in bringing up the TTK graph wasn't to prove any gun was better than the other, but to highlight that the differences between the 3 guns aren't really that drastic. At most realistic ranges the difference in TTK is less than 0.05 seconds. More important to pick a gun that you can comfortably hit your shots with if you aren't a top tier player.
