The Idea Of the Lachman 556 lies on fixing what the maddox assault rifle has been lacking on its own
The Lethality, BSA And the Recoil
Although both have similar damage numbers across the board, the gun will have a better range than the maddox itself, in exchange for worse hitbox,
As you can see it also had 1 trick up on its sleeve, the 1.5x headshot multiplier that the maddox is incapable of doing, this is HUGE for the weapon's damage, as it rewards headshots big time. (i wont get into detail to that because it gon be a very long essay but you get the point)
The maddox has also another problem, the horizontal recoil, its the problem the plagued the gun's entire identity, although it aint as significant, but at the time when you want something that isnt the xm4 or the type 19 (for whatever reason) its either this or the Grau 556
Both are a good off meta options but the grau has laser recoil for more accuracy, less recoil, this has its own neiche, a medium range flex AR with moderate recoil with better ranges, better mobility that sounds good right?
It was at the time, but the problem of the gun still sticks is the Bullet Spread Accuracy, it has 23, its not good, you have to sacrifice one attachment for that BSA laser that get your position exposed if ads'ed or be acustomed to the 23 bsa and rock out normally, regardless its still a decent mid range gun.
Now that the lachman 556 recently got added, it fixes, all of those problems, for the exchange of worse mobility and handling, the recoil is so smooth and braindead.
But here's one thing though, if you wanted to have more competitive edge on the aggression with minimal sacrifices in lethality, the maddox is still a decent choice for the mobility, but overall now.
Lethality wise, the lachman 556 will fix its problems that the maddox had
