Warface – guide to new guns: CZ 805 BREN A2 and AM-17

Overview of new weapons in Warface: historical background, performance characteristics, comparison, advantages and disadvantages

Every few months, the Warface developers roll out one or more new guns to the main game servers. In the December and January updates, the arsenal was replenished with two barrels at once: the Czech assault rifle CZ 805 BREN A2 and the domestic small-sized machine gun AM-17 . In this guide, we will discuss the distinctive features of the new weapons, describe in detail the tactical and technical characteristics of the guns and draw an objective conclusion.

CZ 805 BREN A2

Historical reference

The CZ 805 BREN A2 is a Czech assault rifle that was developed to replace one of the AK-47 prototypes – Sa vz. 58. In January 1993, the State was divided into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and the arms company Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod, which produces the aforementioned machine gun, was privatized. A few years later, gunsmiths resumed the development and production of the Lada S project (since 1991 – ČZ 2000).

Since the Czech Republic became a full member of NATO countries in the late 1990s, all assault rifles in service had to provide for the use of appropriate ammunition. In this regard, on the basis of the ČZ 2000 prototype, the 805 project, or rather the CZ S805, was created. And only in 2009 the Czech army announced a competition for a new assault rifle. 27 different prototypes took part in the competition, of which only two remained: the CZ 805 and the FN SCAR-L. And since the CZ 805 is a domestic development, it won the tender without difficulty. Still, the Army requested some design and design improvements before commissioning. The revision took only a year, after which the weapon successfully entered service with the Czech army.

Characteristics of the CZ 805 BREN A2 in Warface

The rifle comes in two versions – custom and gold. The weapon is available in the in-game store from the boxes of luck for credits forever or for a while.

CZ 805 BREN A2: comparison, advantages and disadvantages

The CZ 805 BREN A2 assault rifle is practically in no way inferior, and in some places even surpasses the performance of such favorites as the Beretta ARX160, FN FAL DSA-58 and AK-12. The first thing that catches your eye is the increased damage. The Italian rifle Famas F1, which is not very popular among players, has the same indicator, but the light assault machine gun Stoner LMG A1 still remains the undisputed leader in terms of damage (88 units).

The value of the minimum damage is at an average level (57 units), but thanks to the damage multiplier when shooting in the head (5 units) and increased damage, a fighter with CZ 805 has the ability to kill an enemy with one hit over the declared range (almost twice) even when using a silencer … The reload time (2.6 sec) and the change of weapons in both directions (0.3 sec) can be considered standard. And if you take into account that the gun does not have a unique sight, this also applies to entering the aiming mode (0.15 sec).

Nevertheless, the rifle has a couple of serious drawbacks: strong recoil and ammunition spread when firing from the hip. Guided by the indicators, it can be noted that the recoil is at the level of AK-12 (130 units). This is 15 and 25 units less than the Beretta ARX160 and FN FAL DSA-58. But in practice, it is much more difficult to control than that of the same FN FAL DSA-58 with the strongest recoil of the presented guns (155 units). If you are used to playing, for example, with AK-12, then at first it will be very unusual. At the same time, even if you, like the author of this material, rarely play the “Assault” class, then just a few hours of playing with the CZ 805 BREN A2 will be enough to “tame” the recoil. In addition, the rifle can be equipped with special modules to facilitate this process.

The CZ 805 BREN A2 is the second Stormtrooper class weapon and the third in the game, which comes with a special custom laser designator forearm module. The module is primarily used as a visual accessory, since it does not indicate the exact location of the bullet hit. However, this device has its own unique characteristics, which we will discuss below.

AM-17

This small-sized machine gun cannot boast of a rich history, since it was developed only a few years ago and was first presented at the Army-2017 international military-technical forum. AM-17 is a project of the Kalashnikov concern, which at the beginning of last year presented the first tactical and technical characteristics of a lightweight assault rifle. First of all, the gun was developed as a light and maneuverable self-defense weapon, which can replace the AKS-74U, which were discontinued in the late 1990s. You can read more about the concern’s weapons, which are embodied in Warface, in this article .

The assault rifle uses the layout of the family of American AR-15 rifles, but despite this, the AM-17 was developed for the domestic intermediate cartridge 5.45 × 39 mm. A full-length Picatinny rail is installed on the upper receiver, which provides the ability to mount modern domestic and foreign sighting devices.

• Cartridge: 5.45 × 39 mm.
• Weapon length (with butt): 750 mm.
• Weapon length (without butt): 490 mm.
• Barrel length: 230 mm.
• Weight (without cartridges): 2.5 kg.
• Magazine: 10, 20 and 30 rounds.
• Rate of fire: 700 / m.

TTX AM-17 in Warface

The rifle comes in two versions – custom and gold. The weapon is available in the in-game store from the boxes of luck for credits forever or for a while.

AM-17: comparison, advantages and disadvantages

The new weapon for the “Engineer” class is distinguished by huge damage, which is leveled by a multiplier when shooting in the head (4.3 units). The infamous LWRC SMG-45 has the same damage, but it has a similar coefficient by several hundredths less (4.1 units). For comparison, the Kriss Super V Custom has a lower damage rate (84 units), but at the same time the head damage coefficient is 4.5 units. Based on this, we can conclude that without the use of unique modules in terms of damage done, compared guns are approximately at the same level.

In terms of rate of fire, the assault rifle is inferior to the Micro-Roni (770 units), Thompson M1928 (850 units) and the UZI Pro Warbucks submachine gun (900 units). In addition, if we take these guns in comparison, then they beat the AM-17 in one more indicator – the drop in damage per each subsequent meter above the optimal range. For all three presented guns, it does not rise above 2.5 units, while for the AM-17 this figure is 3.45. This fact makes shooting at medium and long distance rather problematic, since being already 15 meters from the enemy, the damage done will be reduced by almost 14 units.

Of all the above cannons, the AM-17 is the leader in reload time of 1990 ms. Entering and exiting the aiming mode at an average level – 110/100 ms., Similar to changing weapons in both directions – 200/200 ms.

The new Engineer Assault Rifle comes with a unique flash suppressor that should reduce damage drop for comfortable shooting at medium range. However, in reality, the AM-17 flame arrester reduces the damage drop by only 20%, while the standard PP flame arrester makes it 10% more effective. But this is one side of the coin: the second property of the unique flame arrester is to reduce recoil. This module copes with this more correctly, especially considering that the AM-17’s recoil is not the most pleasant of all existing guns for an engineer (of course, except for the Thompson M1928). In addition to a special flame arrester, the AM-17 comes with two more unique modules, the characteristics of which we have described below.
