- Yes, move it to BR4
- No, keep it on BR5
The MP 717r is an old Stalingrad Pass owner weapon that is currently on BR5, however I believe that it should be on BR4 instead, and that is because it is on par, if not ever so slightly weaker, than some quite similar BR4 SMGs, the PPD 40 and PPSH 45, which I will compare to the MP 717r. On the PPSH 45’s debut, it was originally BR5, but was later moved down to BR4. In comparison with the MP 717r, they have a fire rate about 200 RPM faster (1040 of both Russian guns vs 960 of the MP 717r), the PPSH 45 has a 0.3 second faster reload, with a few other very minor differences in other stats that don’t matter as much. If the PPSH 45 and PPD 40 can be BR4 without a problem, I’m pretty sure nobody complained about the change, then the MP 717r should be on BR4 as well.
