Assuming you discount that it\u2019s got the shortest effective range of any rifle in the game. 240 meters is just atrocious, and even if it did have a longer effective range the muzzle velocity isn\u2019t going to win any prizes. The Gewehr 1943 at it\u2019s loudest configuration is more effective, despite having a slightly lower damage value. And then you look at the 172 audible range and wonder.. \u201cWhy would I even consider this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RSC 1918: Recommended configuration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RSC1918-QUietAndRecommended.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RSC1918-QUietAndRecommended-1400x788.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RSC1918-QUietAndRecommended-1400x788.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RSC1918-QUietAndRecommended-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RSC1918-QUietAndRecommended-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RSC1918-QUietAndRecommended.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The RSC 1918&#8217;s stealthiest configuration<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This rifle is so limiting we have to combine the recommended and quietest configuration together. Thankfully, you don\u2019t lose any damage, but it\u2019s also not going to be much quieter. You\u2019ll be heard within 97 meters, which means you\u2019ll be relying more on subsonic rounds than is ideal, defeating the miniscule damage boosts you get for a semi-auto rifle. As well, despite having 6x optics you\u2019re stuck with some pretty poor options when trying to squeeze out the few benefits this rifle has to the forefront, such as it\u2019s handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RSC 1918: general thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the RSC 1918 is just a hilarious rifle that hasn\u2019t found a niche to operate in. It\u2019s effective range is too short for sniping past 200 meters easily, but it\u2019s audible range is too wide to be a solid stealth rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is, for some strange reason, fun to shoot. It\u2019s control feels a little better than the Gewehr 1943, at least. It\u2019s a shame the magazine is so small and the optics so limiting: Pushing this past the effective range might actually make this practical despite the damage loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s almost like plinking with one of the older Ruger Mk 3 22LR pistols; awful to disassemble, but just a blast to shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only time I\u2019d consider using it is if you want a semi-auto rifle and don\u2019t care if you alert the entire region that you\u2019re shooting it, and don\u2019t want to shoot past about 175 meters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You ever see a movie so bad it\u2019s good?
