I've heard it does that for the Jackel, but not sure about the grendel.

yes... mostly...

most (all?) the weapons get a mild damage/bullet and damage-over-range boost when switching from auto to semiauto. I believe the Grendel and Scar are basically identical semiauto 4 round bodyshot kills.

It all depends on play style.

Personally I use the Grendel in semi-auto for most of my matches. The 3shot burst is deadly but I simply play better in single shot. I also switch it up with an FY in semi for short range (terminal, skyline, impact). The FY seems to be a little less precise but pack a little more punch. (significantly more recoil pause between long-range shots... but a 3 bodyshot kill) I can't speak for fire rate between them, I just kinda have a rhythm that I fire at that works with all three (scar, grendel, FY)

It's also really nice to have the same firing mode when switching to a sidearm. I've gotten dropped more than a few times squeezing and holding the trigger of a nova/hammer.

With both weapons I'm much better at conserving the magazine in semi.

First time I've been able to log into gamesas since the last post.

I take back what I said above about the scar and grendel being roughly equivalent in semi-auto. I just did a reboot and was stuck with just a scar, it has a significantly slower rate of fire than the grendle in single-shot. Think grendel~nova pistol, scar~hammer pistol with regards to fire rate.

I prefer the open sights on the grendel. Simply feels more precise than the reflex. However I frequently use visor enhance as well, so the red halo from visor enhance kinda blurs with the reflex dot.

I also threw a laser sight on on the grendel shortly before I rebooted and really liked it. The bright line telling everybody your location is a bit of a pain... Less so when you're playing inside the crash site since everybody knows your there anyway. The accuracy seems to go up even more with the laser. That little dot just seems to *really* stick on opponents and I started getting the hang of hip-firing it as if I was holding a nova at short range.
