Absolutely no ill-will intended here below, just my personal feedback. The reason you see people using it more as a sniper rifle is that when you slap the Range Finder, Long Barrel, and Acog on the MK17, the bottom 3 mil dots on the ACOG line up perfectly for 400, 500, and 600 meters respectively. By that knowledge you can extrapolate the in between distances and quit literally hit 9/10 shots up to 600 Meters with ease. That combined with a 30 round mag, and the fac that you can still run the Folded Stock as well as the Foregrip 4 for additional handling/reload speed without having those attachments effect your bullet drop at those ranges makes it the perfect all around rifle for Ghost Mode as well as regular play. You're testing bullet drop 250 meters, which is nice in theory. You get to see exactly how far the bullet drops at 250. The problem is that a 250 meter shot you dont even have to think about. With almost any rifle just aim a tiny bit over the head and bingo, hit. If you want to actually show your viewers Real bullet drop outcomes, push the boundaries of these tests. Showing 250 meter variations, or 350 meters for your sniper videos isnt what people need to see. Show them what they need to see in order to be effective beyond that, 400-600m minimum. Love all of your videos Dally, but you've got to push this stuff much further outside of your own playstyle and comfort zone if you want some of the better players out there to keep coming back. Everyone says you have good videos. But everyone also says you lack any higher end skill content whatsoever. Anyway, hope this helps and look forward to seeing more future content, keep it up!
I used to run a MP7 and MK17, with the MK17 setup as sniper and it was really good. I think it will be very goos for ghost mode so you can have an AR for gunfights but also a range weapon for sniping. Keep up the good content!
I really wish ubisoft would address this problem in their games with the realism of different rifles. The mk17 and mk14 both fire 308, they both have the same length barrel I'm pretty sure, they're both semi automatic or fully automatic, but the scar is a newer model with more efficient gas systems. So why should the scar have double the drop? And there shouldn't even be a damage comparison because it should just be identical. Also if you have the rails pace you should be able to put any scope you want on a scar. Sorry for the rant I just really like realism.
I use this gun as a replacement for snipers, have for a long time. I hit my first 500m+ shot with it. It’s still good for more mid range fights too, even when built for long range
Upgraded to Mk 17 from the ACR weeks ago, very effective out to 300+. Don't consider it a " sniper " rifle but I haven't had to employ the SR 25, or MSR since making it my primary.
I keep trying a lot of the various "assault" rifles in this game and always come back to the MK17. It serves me and my playing style really well. I hate how they look but have been tempted to buy the civilian model in real life to go with my AR-15.
Comp buttstock and range finder helps alot on BDC for the Mk17! Long barrel even more, but I think it looks stupid with the long barrel though. I used the Mk17 as a DMR/battle rifle for a long time before ever found the SR25 and with great success too. Still my favorite AR class weapon, even having the HK416.
Hey, Darkdally, how do we send you outfit ideas? Love your GR vids. Edit> Could we see a TAR-21 general review vid? Or at least recoil/dmg oriented VS ACR?
My Tar and ACR are set up the same except that my Tar has a grenade launcher on it and my ACR is silenced. My Tar has higher dps, higher accuracy, sane samage, slightly less range, higher rate of fire, and slightly higher penetration. I haven't tested drop because I don't *usually* use AR's at a range where I have to worry about drop too much. Reload to me is irrelevant, as is noise reduction because my ACR us silenced and my Tar isn't.
I've used the mk 17 since day one of the game releasing and it's a beast it's amazing far off and up close I use it as a dmr/ar hybrid and it's amazing also upgraded it 3/4s of the way on tier mode upgrade and it's just monstrous
Great Video. Thanks for being so awesome at interacting with your community. 5$ If I find myself out near you at some point I'd love to go out shooting with you! Could have some fun with my Pappys M1 Garand and a couple of my Glocks. Since I have them and this game doesnt. Hahaha
Yeah man, and thanks! You can hit me up on Discord via message. I don't know where you live, but if you came this way we could definitely make time to go out shooting haha
I really like the Mk14 emr and I like using it for its intended roll. The only downside is that u run out of ammo pretty quick. I have no Idea y ubisoft classifies this as a sniper rifle when its not ! Its a DMR, the same with the M14 ebr, which is basically the same weapon.
Thanks for another useful vid Dark. Could you also compare it to the G28? The ROF makes it about the same as the Mk17...maybe more so than the Mk14. Another question, is it possible the hitboxes at longer ranges change, affecting how much damage you do per shot?
I know I'm late to the game, but I started playing yesterday and I had the FAL from the Ubi club. I'd love to see how it compares to the Mk17...or the Mk14 lol
I tried the SCAR as a marksman rifle and its just not up in the marksman category IMHO mostly it just underperforms even as an anti-personnel marksman rifle. In reality, the SCAR has too many malfunctions for it to be good excepting maybe long range harassment patrols.

Hey man, Two things.. How on earth do you Get that high accuracy and range on your weps?! I use the same mods but they are nowhere near yours :) im lvl 23 elite. Second. Why dosn't the convoys bolt when you attack them? Anytime i shoot at anything near my convoys, they bolt.. Anyways, keep up the videos, great stuff
I'm Tier 1, but as I said in the video I'm doing these tests on Extreme for a level playing ground. Shifting between Tier and other difficulties moves the bars around, it seems. They don't charge me because I'm too far away and they don't bolt because there's nowhere to take cover. That said, they do take cover behind the cars, but that's all they have. Lots of reasons make this convoy an excellent place to test this kind of stuff.
@@Darkdally hm ok i just haven't seen my stats change that Much when going from extreme a notch down, could it be a ps4 VS pc thing? Ok i will have try that convoy trick out for sure :) thanks buddy
You should compare it to the G28 instead. G28 is a HK417, which is basically a HK416 with 7,62x51mm. So the 416 and 417 should probably be seen as HKs SCAR-L and SCAR-H (which is what the MK-17 in Wildlands is). I wish the G28 was an assault rifle instead, in fact.
😨😨😨😨😨😨I try not to use the mk17 at close range because it shoots to slow so I'll swap to my 416 or tar21 for close range because they shoot a little faster and have bigger magazine size 😨😨😨😨but I wish I could use the mk17 at close range but it's just not built for close quarters engament like most rifles are
Sr25 vs. Mk17 if you want to keep with the dmr/sniper concept. Tbh, the mk17 has no good reason to be used. It's bullet drop is ridiculous so, just use a sniper. It's reload speed and rate of fire are too long and low, just use an AR. I'm just hoping that your "surprise video" will be running a SCAR H and blowing shit up irl.
i prefer m4 with long barrel nube tube acog and hti bdc combo nube tube is good for them cars that come up on you so is the hti when on missions i sit 500m out if i can and prefer to kill at 100m or more since this game is insta death any closer :/
😨😨😨😨😨I love the mk17 but you really can only use it as a sniper rifle because it's magazine size is to small and it shoots to slow to engage muitple targets but it's still a good rifle just not good at taking on more than two tango's at a time you're have to use like a 416 or a tar21 in your primary slot for multiple tango's and the mk17 in the secondary slot on semi auto for one to two tango's at long distance
Hey Dark. After you record a video go back and analyze your shots so you don't give misinformation. You were firing in full auto, getting multiple hits multiple times on multiple people at once. That's not a precise method. Go on semi auto and just do a analytic talk over in post.
I agree with this video that the Scar-17 is better even with it's crazy bullet drop but with the noise reduction and everything i will stick to my G28 for now i see the Scar-17 being used more to spot in certain situations or used as a DMR especially with it's deadly accuracy
i'd say g28 because I like having the higher fire rate and the noise reduction is pretty good for it, but I switch between sr25 and g28 from time to time and I think you can only put a long barrel on a g28 and not a sr25
I love the Mk17 as my 'close quiet' sniper, then a high mag or high damage smg to clean up any quick f-ups/go 'loud'. In my top 5 at least.
MK17 is my go to rifle. Thanks for bringing it into light. Its a great rifle.

In Ghost Wars the MK17 is the gun that holds my longest kill. Around 300m. I should point out I'm not a sniper so that's good for me
I took out a sniper with the mk17 at 440 meters. With a eotech and 3x magnifier I put the target at the bottom of the glass and got a hit
Desert tech also got some pretty decent damage over range
Upgraded to Mk 17 from the ACR weeks ago, very effective out to 300+. Don't consider it a " sniper " rifle but I haven't had to employ the SR 25, or MSR since making it my primary.

I often only use semi-auto because i get more accurate criticle shots, plus I dont wast so much ammo.
I like the Sound of the MK17 🤘
just use that SR25 Jungle sniper rifle.. most powerful sniper rifle in the game, hardly any bullet drop, and a decent rate of fire..
They should give us a cqb barrel for it or add the scar 16,broke my heart when I saw the short barrel wasn't actually a short barrel😢.
Gooooood video man. Keep it up 👍👍👍👍
top work as always bro!
Thanks man :)

Hey man, why did you compare full auto mk17 to single shot mk14? :) Ofc its gonna be slower, on single, but more accurate...
Its a good rifle but it have bad handling e the reloading speed is slow af. Im tier 15 and i maxed out the M4A1. With the long barrel is really good.

Marksman rifles aren't sniper rifles. To my knowledge, anything withing 600m is Marksman range. Anything beyond is sniping range
In this game the MK-14 is a sniper and the MK-17 is an assault rifle. We're just talking in-game here.
