VG 1-5 with the low capacity STG magazine - a new BR2 semi auto for Germany

The VG 1-5 is one of the main semi-auto weapons used by BR3 Germany, and it’s magazines were taken from the STGs due to designing a whole new magazine for a last ditch gun being wasteful. Now these usually used the common 30 round magazines, but due to it being compatabile, it could accept the smaller 10 round capacity magazines that were rarer. We have this magazine in game on the MKB 42 (15 rounds), but there’s already been plenty of discussion of how the devs magically crammed an extra 5 rounds in the magazine. Either way, I think that this would be an interesting BR2 rifle that would be a good M1 carbine equivilant, especially with how the armaguerra isn’t a great rifle.

Haha, after the next version update, its rate of fire will be close to that of a certain BR4 assault rifle with a 450 RPM rate of fire. That’s a massive buff—no more wearing out my mouse by spamming clicks nonstop. Still, it can’t escape getting absolutely clobbered by the Soviet BR3 faction though. Back in the day, this thing was just like the M1 Carbine, a total pea-shooter and a wrist tendon destroyer.

As things stand, the performance of the Amargura also needs to be adjusted. This gun is just too underpowered. The Soviet faction already has the Fedorov, and the Amargura only has one extra round to its name. It wildly wanders off target even at close range—even the Enfield rifle is more stable than it. This is just a case of DF not being able to balance everything properly.
