Talk:SG556 MARK II/@comment-205.217.176.6-20140517220250/@comment-5850386-20140517222403

SG556 MK II is more versitile and easier to use as it has a lower recoil, middling damage, and is more portable. Furthermore, one could attach a iTech or HDS sight to further reduce spread or a ACOG for better range. It should be noted that the SG556 has the Phoenix beat in all stats except for damage.

However, if one desires a more heavy hitting and longer range AR, the Phoenix is superior as it has more damage and a sniper scope. Furthermore, if one equips other Phoenix gear, one could experience a statboost that may or may not  be worth it.

Personally I would go with the SG556 MK II as it is easier to use, more forgiving, and more open to customization. You really dont need a sniper scope on your AR imho as it limits you to far engagements. I have used iTechs to spray-snipe with much success, but could never spray with the sniper scope as it magnifies the recoil. To get the statboosts, one has to buy more Phoenix gear, and thats not worth it IMO. You could basically get the Phoenix G36 at any time as Nexon often hands them out through events and as many players use it or a similar model, you can steal it from corpses.
