Now that I’ve gotten every single weapon and unlocked every weapon workbench in Sniper Elite 5, it falls upon me to start doing some really in-depth testing in order to produce my rifle reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One bit of testing I wanted to get out of the way tonight was this: Does muzzle velocity matter in Sniper Elite 5? Let’s dive into the details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muzzle velocity testing methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First off: My established rifle range is the Spy Academy. Why? It provides both 200m & 400m+ targets right from the very start, speeding up the process of actually testing everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, all testing was done at Authentic difficulty: If you have bullet drop and wind turned off, the muzzle velocity stat will only matter for one singular aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially I started my testing with a variety of rifles, but for this specific guide we’re going to focus on just one: The M1A Carbine. I chose this one because it, by default, has the lowest muzzle velocity in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I equipped it with both the greatest-boosting and the greatest-reducing muzzle velocity parts (muzzle device, barrel and receiver). You can see the full stats for that below (click to enlarge).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, the highest muzzle velocity is double what the lowest is. Let’s get to the results and what this means next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
