M417 Combat

"Refitted with a longer barrel to increase muzzle velocity, the M417 Combat cuts through more armor and bodies than its standard counterpart."

Overview
The M417 Combat is the NX Standard variant of the M417. It has a slight damage boost from the normal M417, but besides that, all stats are the same.

The M417 Combat is arguably better at long range damage, because of its small damage dropoff. The M417 Combat has a noticeably longer barrel than the standard M417, and the original shape of the M417 seems to have changed quite a lot. Some players, including reviewers, claim that the M417 Combat has a different recoil pattern, which makes it a bit harder to tap fire and harder to take out enemies at a longer ranges. With its first impression, the M417 Combat seems to be outclassed by rifles such as the ACR Sandfire, AK-74M, and other NX standard assault rifles, which should be taken into consideration when buying this gun for the first time.This weapon is not as noob friendly as an M416 CQB or P90TR but it is still a good weapon and will be for a long time to come.

Like its other variants (except for the M417 SB), it comes with a preattached iTech Reflex Sight.
