It can 2SK when hitting the head or torso out to 100 studs, which is a feat - but its abysmal fire rate of only 400 and slowed muzzle velocity both don't help it. The M16A3 with this conversion has heavily increased multipliers and ranges. 338 Conv, allowing it to kill in a single shot to the head. Although it is only a 3SK anywhere else, and its minimum damage sees no change, the M16A4 becomes a potent DMR/assault rifle hybrid with the. The M16A4 can 1SK headshot within its maximum damage range. However, the M16A4 receives a minor range increase of only 20 studs added to its maximum damage range. Its fire rate is cut down by half and its burst delay is lengthened. The M16A4 gets a major recoil increase, to the point where firing in semi auto is viable. The M16A4 is no exception to this treatment. Where carbines have a generic recoil and damage increase, the assault rifles are affected much more severely. The M16A4 is another beast entirely.338 Spectre is treated much differently on assault rifles compared to carbines. Its fire rate is decreased down to 800, although this makes it easier to control when bursting rapidly. The muzzle velocity is dropped down to 1800, and its recoil increased, although its trigger group means that its recoil remains decently controllable in bursts. Unfortunately, the same downsides with the M4A1 are still present on the M4. Its minimum damage is increased to 24, meaning it can 4SK out until the very tail end of its dropoff - 140 studs - before dropping down to a 5SK.338 Spectre is a decent choice for the M4, trading recoil control and muzzle velocity for a much needed range increase. 338) but gets a superb range increase, allowing it to kill in a single burst out to over 60 studs. The M4 gets less of a damage boost (35 default to 39 with. It remains controllable with the right attachments, however, the range and damage increases are better used on other weapons, namely the objectively better Honey Badger. Although it remains a strong close-range weapon, with its damage increased to a powerful 40 and minimum damage increased to allow it to 5SK all ranges, the M4A1 sees a loss in fire rate (down to 700) as well as the customary recoil increase and muzzle velocity loss, down to a usable but not ideal 1800 studs/sec. 338 Spectre loaded into an M4A1 isn't worth using. 338 Spectre can only pick up ammo from DMRs, sniper rifles, and other weapons converted to.

However, it will generally increase recoil, increase damage, decrease muzzle velocity, and increase range.338 Spectre does not affect magazine capacity, but will reduce spare rounds carried by one full magazine. 338 Spectre affects performance on weapons differently depending on which weapon it is loaded into. 458 SOCOM fame, also created this cartridge, also designed to fire from a standard AR-15. 338 Spectre was one of the many attempts at firing a high caliber cartridge from an AR-15.
