Turning signal 50 into a heavy battle rifle

[https://sym.gg/?mw2-loadout=101603o13413t13x014](https://sym.gg/?mw2-loadout=101603o13413t13x014)

This loadout pushes signal 50 into something like a heavy battle rifle. This isn’t a competitive loadout, its just a fun gimmick.

Cons:

extremely low muzzle velocity (328!) means you can’t really hit anything beyond 200m reliably

therefore it makes no sense to put a powerful scope on this weapon, we just rock with a holographic display to play to the strengths of this loadout

I pushed ADS time as low as I could, down to 542 ms. That is pretty terrible for a battle rifle.

You are using heavy caliber ammunition, which means you have to be a little more conservative than you might ideally like to be with a battle rifle.

Explosive rounds mean you won’t be penetrating any cover.

Pros:

You can two tap any target at any range no matter how much armor they are wearing by hitting once in the chest and once anywhere. These shots come out pretty fast, it takes about 0.5 seconds for both shots to leave the barrel (signal is semiautomatic). Basically just aim center mass and double tap.

Explosive rounds are hilarious.

It sounds ridiculous and underpowered (it is almost certainly both) but it is so fun to play. I think part of what makes it fun is it feels like an ambush weapon where you duck out and throw out two rounds, and then duck back for cover– the damn muzzle velocity is so low the first round may not even hit before the second one leaves the barrel (at least it feels that way sometimes). By the time the enemy knows they’ve been hit you’ve already disappeared behind cover.
