***** I think 700 rpm is a great rate of fire because the negative effect of muzzle attachments is outweighed by the bonuses at lower than 750rpm. I mean look at the AK5C for example.
SCAR-H silenced in locker is a real pleasure to use. AN-94 on burst mode is the best statistical AR if you can consistently fire it at a rate of around 300-350 clicks per minute, but obviously harder to use than the non burst options up close.
+Khairi1601 I use it all the time. Its easy to control and is good for long ranges which other ARs can't reach. Isnt too great at extreme close quarters though.
Not the only one I think that's the best weapon, it's one of the best rifles (rated) and in the battlefield it self it works great! So I think the sar-21 had to be in this vid!👍🏼👍🏼
I get that burst fire guns aren't popular, but man, once you know how to control them they rock! Even this video hasn't convinced me to change my M16A4 to anything else.
M16A4 is my favourite, it can actually kill someone in like 4 bullets where as the full autos seem to get about 1 hitmarker every 3 bullets even at point blank range. On PS4 atleast.
I personally love the 416, I feel like my loadout is versatile enough to do the tasks I need & hasn't let me down. I know I'm a year behind but I've give back to BF4 a few times & find my class loadout isn't a master setup but it's versatile enough to adjust to almost any situation & I find myself playing around with customizing my rifle to a specific situation to an extent yet retain generalist characteristics.
f2000 has good recoil, good damage, very good fire rate and a good mag size, the only downside is the long reload time but you only have to reload every three kills or so
+loller123ful not useful? what? just what? it only reduces the enemy kill count by 1, but ok that is not useful in gamemode wich is all about killcount
+Slim Biggins Medic rule #1: If you just saw someone die, be sure to kill the person that killed them first, or they'll just get shot again and you'll be next with your paddles hanging out.
Alan Lightner AUG doesn't really make sense. It's a bullpup (better hipfire) which is nice for CQB, but a 700 RPM gun with 2.5sec short reload has no place in CQB. For medium range you're better off with AR160 or CZ805, both of which are more accurate. Or better yet, go a bit more aggressive with ACE 23 / AEK.
+Xuvial Sylvester I've had incredible games in my AUG it's my go to weapon when I start feeding in tough matches and it's just 750RPM but trust me. It outbeats an AEK at range due to lower recoil and even close range if you fire while moving eg: strafing. The reload makes it extremely useful too if you're in a sticky situation and it's extremely good looking. The AUG was the sole reason why ESL removed it and all other bullpups from their list due to the fact that it's unbalanced as hell for the AUG. It's the best bullpup in the game followed by the Famas for it's extreme fire rate then the other bullpup rifles.
Nice vid Charlie. I think it's great that you mentioned the pros in the ESL since sadly everybody hates on them. Just have to add something: nobody plays the AEK with the angled grip. Everybody runs the stubby grip on it.

I still have yet to use any of the ACE weapons, they all just have a negative connotation in my mind. Why would I want to use the weapon most would consider the best or at times over powered? I still do top of the team when I'm using some of the worst weapons. (PKP iron sights and bipod for days) Also people who rely on the rate of fire of their weapon, just make me shake my head.
+White Fox I don't mind rate of fire, but I do mind people that use weapons simply because they are the best. My most used ARs are the FAMAS, F2000, CZ-805 and the AUG
Robert Ward I use weapons that aren't considered the best because I enjoy the challenge of mastering a difficult weapon. Easy to use weapons aren't all that fun to me.
Ak-12 for stability, m16a4 for longer engagements(although it really shines at all ranges) aek for close encounters, and scar h or bulldog for hardcore.
Am I the only one who wants a milsim mode? all guns shoot semi-auto besides LMGs, 75% less health than normal, I think that would be pretty amazing but who knows, maybe Battle field 5 will have something like that.
@@mrawesome1609 Yeah that would be hard to balance. Unless you simulate body armor, requiring headshots since they use pistol rounds (excepting 5.7mm's like the p90 or cmmg banshee those might get through armor), you can make accurate smg hits way past 100m reliably irl so I'm not sure how you'd keep them from outshining rifles and carbines. Unless maybe you tie gun/equipment/ammo weight to speed maneuverability? And maybe simulate jams (rarely). You brought up a good point, I'm trying to think how you'd do it, but maybe just like real life you'd simply have some weapons that are better lol and oh you could simply reward less points/XP per kill based on how many people use a given weapon. Incentivizing trying something more challenging. idk : p
there is no such thing called best gun, best car, best jet. as game developers, we make to each thing the right to shine in the proper hands in the right time.
Fliyo MB you are completely right. I could say that the title was wrong to be honest...I believe after playing with all guns that every one is suitable for some situations but actually LevelCap here is telling the best gun for its situation which is based on some logic matter like the guns with good reload time, good rate of fire are better for short to medium ranges...while guns with high accuracy, high damage are for long ranges... I hope you got what I mean
+Sebastian Baez yeah its a very good all around assault rifle. it doest need any grips honestly or a heavy barrel. it has a very fast reload and good ROF
M16A4 and AN-94 are my favourite assault rifles at the moment, I just find that once you nail the timing of the bursts you're able to make your firing pretty much a laser beam even at long ranges when taking out snipers.
An-94 burst fire best ar in the game next to the bulldog and scar-h which do more damage it works alnost all ranges except super close like 3 feet in front of you close and full auto isn't bad just pretty slow.
L85A2 is usually my weapon of choice even when the game first released, I never used it because of how good or bad it is though, I used it because it's British made and looks really good. Also something to consider if you're a console player, AEK-971's recoil is harder to control. Sometimes the Best weapon on PC isn't necessarily always the best weapon on consoles.
Good to see the L85A2 getting some love! With over 10k kills with it I can say from experience it's certainly a brilliant, versatile weapon. I actually use the Angled Foregrip, 3.4 Prisma and Canted Irons without any Barrel attachment on it, because I find that the downsides to all of the Barrel attachments actually outweigh the positives when it comes to the L85A2 at least, for versatility at least (I don't change my loadout between maps) and due to the recoil being so manageable, once you get used to it the stubby grip isn't even necessary as you can tap-fire for medium range brilliantly. Getting used to switching to Single Fire for targets at ranges of 200m+ you can genuinely counter-snipe aggressive recons if you get your head shots off in quick succession, which makes the higher muzzle velocity and angled grip even more effective. Just a brilliant, versatile gun once you know your way around it.
Hadn't played in about two years. Got back into it last week and the L85A2 is without a doubt a beast weapon now. When I unlocked it 2 years ago I thought it was average. Now? Pure death dealer at any range. Gets double and triple feeds too. Bulldog too for its insane TTK.
Chris Odar The Scar has a lower RPM. The low to average rpm and the heavy hitting punch of the 7.62 compensate for the SCAR's small mag. The Bulldog blows all its ammo in one second with that high rpm.
M16A4 is my favorite still. The burst fire is very good on medium to long range, but also when you get used to it, you time the burst and you usually win every close quarter encounter.
I have got 1.5k kills it, everyone complains, reload is easy to mange and if you have a decent secondary you can manage the situations when your reloading and the small mag, as well it has a higher dps than the famas
+James Blake The famas actually has higher DPS. And the bulldog has a lot of recoil, it has the highest spread increase out of all the ARs making it very inaccurate and it has a long reload, it's a difficult gun to use all around.
If it’s a one on one encounter, you only need to fire 1 to 2 burst, so if you train enough where you won’t jam the second burst, except when panicking, then the m16 and m4 are fantastic weapons. You lose panic power for potentially better dps, the burst is higher than 800 rpm darthveda made a vid about that, and literally the best AR reload in the game. Its great at medium range and it’s serviceable at close range. I personally like it over the an94 because of the faster reload and that I think it’s easier to jam the an 94.
Personally i don't touch the AEK, nearly every assault on locker (AU) use it. My fav is the AN-94 as it was in BF3. I rarely play locker and avoid it so this gun has served me well since release and love it.
I can't bare to use the medic do to the fact that I run out of ammo so fast and no one really plays support:/ that leaves me always playing support becuase I purely need ammo. this goes for all other classes as well:/
Great vid lvl now we just need one on carbines, dmr's, shotguns and sniper rifles. I really appreciate this as I've gone back to BF4 lately and been loving it
It bogles my mind to think that there are lots of players that only play the assault class, with the AEK-971 on lockers. Literarily thousands of hours, hundreds of assault service stars and like 90000+ AEK kills and 10000+ G18 kills. No variety at all just the same class, primary and secondary guns over and over and over.
Burst fire sets the RPM to something obnoxious like 1200 and it has practically no recoil if u have a good trigger finger it destroys at all ranges, which is why it's the best
Hey levelcap, I know you're probably too busy to read this but if you happen to read it here it is. I'm on the last few weapons on my path to mastering every weapon in battlefield 4. I'm on the PDW called the JS2, after its clip was reduced to 30 rounds I stopped using it, but recently i noticed I'm getting four shot kills pretty far across the map, I can outgun most players even while they use assault rifles. I haven't noticed anyone else using it so if you wanted to review it the JS2 could become a more popular used PDW. Aside from that I'd like to say good job with all the content and I've enjoyed your videos, keep up the good work! :)
The fact that you see so many people using so many different guns in bf4 shows they really did a good job post launch of balancing guns. whereas in bf3 it was only m16s and AEKs
Really surprised the Sar-21 hasn't made the list. Has a low fire rate, but the stability is unbelievable, and unless you have superb control when firing in full auto, the other assault rifles will miss hits due to stability and accuracy problems, which the Sar-21 makes up for. I find you get a serious amount of headshots when it's coupled with a Stubby Grip and Heavy Barrel. I understand that at CQC it wont hold up against the quicker firing weapons but when playing on bf4's big maps, I tend to encounter more people at medium range and the Sar-21 excels at medium to close range. I've been able to take down snipers from very long ranges and DMR's with this weapon as it's so stable and accurate. Maybe it's because I am a console gamer and the level of control isn't as good as it is on PC but I think it's crazy to leave the Sar-21 out of this video.
After listening to this guy, ive never been on a worse cold streak in my entire life, i used guns levelcap basically endorses and they honestly suck, i mean ive gotten over 500 kills with the pdw-r and occasionally snipe with the cs-5 iron sights and they work great, cant rely on stats all the time its the man that makes the gun not the statistics of it.
as some people are looking at the comment section everyone is good at there own gun levelcap is just handing out guns that have best dpm and other things but if you use a gun that you like you will have a better experience because you can control it and you know how to use it
+Kenneth Williams well put! The HK416 is the best assault rifle in BF4. It has the best reload and is versatile. Its only downside is that it IS an assault rifle. Which means vehicles are your worst enemy.
AEK is beast, I was struggling a lot with other guns, but as soon as I got the coyote optics on it, my kd ratio went to 2 in almost most matches on lockers
quite simple really: anything close quarters (Pearl Market, Metro, Locker, Guilin Peaks...): run with the AEK, anything medium range combat (Rogue, Zavod, a lot of Outbreak...): The L85A2. Mhhkay? Mhhkay!
M16A4 with AFG, ACOG, Laser Sight and Heavy barrel is a beast. Great at CQC and with single fire it's basically a DMR, extremely accurate at long range.
I have a strong dislike when it comes to optics on the AN-94 but other then that pretty beast gun (the optic crosshairs don't line up with the iron sights, ruins the gun for me)
+James “GUNSLINGER” Blackburn: I dunno man. I can get 50-60 kills in a round with the burst AN94, I can only get around 30-40 kills a round with any other assault rifles. I've just been used to it ever since it came out in BFBC2. Then BF3 just made it better!
AEK-971 is one of my favorites practically every time I use it I run out of ammo due to a kill streak and ROF. It always feels like it has no recoil whatsoever to me.
My Favourite Assault Rifles.
- F2000 (Bae)
-AEK-971 (Side Ho)
-AUG A3 (So nice in conquest)
-Bulldog ( Really good in 1v1 confrontations)
-M416 (NO RECOIL)
#BF4 #PS4
The SAR-21 has less recoil than the M416
Disappointed with the lack of AUG A3 love.
Absolutely love that gun!
...
Ya!
Yeah,what's up with that? Aug is as good as L85A2 in my opinion,but is is 700rpm?
***** I think 700 rpm is a great rate of fire because the negative effect of muzzle attachments is outweighed by the bonuses at lower than 750rpm. I mean look at the AK5C for example.

Yeah it's perfect for game modes like rush and conquest.

SCAR-H silenced in locker is a real pleasure to use. AN-94 on burst mode is the best statistical AR if you can consistently fire it at a rate of around 300-350 clicks per minute, but obviously harder to use than the non burst options up close.
I think i'm the only one who actually like the SAR-21...
No, sar 21 ist Great at medium or Long ranges but ist sucks at close quarters

An-94 burst fire best ar in the game next to the bulldog and scar-h which do more damage it works alnost all ranges except super close like 3 feet in front of you close and full auto isn't bad just pretty slow.

Getting used to switching to Single Fire for targets at ranges of 200m+ you can genuinely counter-snipe aggressive recons if you get your head shots off in quick succession, which makes the higher muzzle velocity and angled grip even more effective.
Just a brilliant, versatile gun once you know your way around it.
Hadn't played in about two years. Got back into it last week and the L85A2 is without a doubt a beast weapon now. When I unlocked it 2 years ago I thought it was average. Now? Pure death dealer at any range. Gets double and triple feeds too. Bulldog too for its insane TTK.
The bulldog just sounds so badass :P
Too small mag, too high recoil and spread
+Tris The bulldog's rpm is too high for its small magazine. Its a one kill get killed weapon. Because the mag reload is worse than average.
+Halo Content Same with the scar though, not sure about the spread I'll look it up
Chris Odar The Scar has a lower RPM. The low to average rpm and the heavy hitting punch of the 7.62 compensate for the SCAR's small mag. The Bulldog blows all its ammo in one second with that high rpm.
When i use heavy stubby on the CZ/aek, and he says m416 needs angle grip....
BF4 in 2020 is so much better than the other FPS's .
Yeah, it's like fps games have evolved backwards
imo the an-94 is the best assault rifle, it has low dps and rpm but its accuracy and stability makes it a direct hit every time
M16A4 is my favorite still. The burst fire is very good on medium to long range, but also when you get used to it, you time the burst and you usually win every close quarter encounter.
Which is the best LMG?
m249
mg4
MG4
m249
+Hassan Obeid MG4. MG4 is basically a M249 with waaaayyyyy better recoil
scar-h straight up. holo, green laser, angled grip, muzzle brake. Murder setup
Blake Moreno try with suppressor!
Bulldog is my baby
Carbine
+Jasoh123 No.
I have got 1.5k kills it, everyone complains, reload is easy to mange and if you have a decent secondary you can manage the situations when your reloading and the small mag, as well it has a higher dps than the famas
+James Blake The famas actually has higher DPS. And the bulldog has a lot of recoil, it has the highest spread increase out of all the ARs making it very inaccurate and it has a long reload, it's a difficult gun to use all around.
+James Blake I have like 700 kills with it, I used it for a quite awhile and I can do pretty well with it, but I just find the SCAR H to be way better
Im loving this fast fowarding of non essential portions of the video
If you like the L85 you'll love the Aug. Got better reload and lower recoil overall. Basiclly full auto at 100 + meters.
For me, I am one of those guys who uses their factions weapon.
Same.
i miss KH2002
BF3
I have a feeling that I'm the only one that likes the m16a4
i do too
omzkilet56 i love the m16a4 its the only ar i use
i used to
If it’s a one on one encounter, you only need to fire 1 to 2 burst, so if you train enough where you won’t jam the second burst, except when panicking, then the m16 and m4 are fantastic weapons. You lose panic power for potentially better dps, the burst is higher than 800 rpm darthveda made a vid about that, and literally the best AR reload in the game. Its great at medium range and it’s serviceable at close range. I personally like it over the an94 because of the faster reload and that I think it’s easier to jam the an 94.
Love the AEK in BF3 and BF4, just because I do the best with them in any game mode xD
Personally i don't touch the AEK, nearly every assault on locker (AU) use it. My fav is the AN-94 as it was in BF3. I rarely play locker and avoid it so this gun has served me well since release and love it.
I can't bare to use the medic do to the fact that I run out of ammo so fast and no one really plays support:/ that leaves me always playing support becuase I purely need ammo. this goes for all other classes as well:/
**because
same,
+Heatwave368 due**
SAR-21 is a hidden monster trust me LevelCap
tru
+James Form Ummmmm NO.
Dah Magpie maybe if you didn't suck at the game you would like it
+Dah Magpie Ummmmm YES
For long range, hell yea. But you'll struggle in cqb with a 600 fire rate gun, that's for sure.
I like going with the scar-h
Great vid lvl now we just need one on carbines, dmr's, shotguns and sniper rifles. I really appreciate this as I've gone back to BF4 lately and been loving it
Found out about your account through neebs battlefield friends videos. I love your stuff so far man!
It bogles my mind to think that there are lots of players that only play the assault class, with the AEK-971 on lockers. Literarily thousands of hours, hundreds of assault service stars and like 90000+ AEK kills and 10000+ G18 kills. No variety at all just the same class, primary and secondary guns over and over and over.
+ArthurAlcantara They r CS:GO lamers on sacred soil of BF 4
+Drama Queen csgo lamers?
+ArthurAlcantara yeah i don't understand it either i would get bored after getting 500 dog tag with the weapon
u bunch of weaklings i killed 1337 people with hand flare lel git rekt m8
+You want some PUNCAKE o yo wot m8 I got 7654 kills over 1000m with a difib get rekt m8
CZ-805 is my #1 assault rifle for any situation.
you dummy! that weapon doesn't exist!
Doujutsu501
cz-usa.com/product/cz-805-bren-s1-carbine/
+Shrek The Almighty Ogrelord A carbine can still count as an assault rifle. Take for example the M416.
+Shrek The Almighty Ogrelord But they both pretty much serve the same purpose.
TopGunner1994 you didn't get the joke, right?
AN-94!? Best ar easily
How so?
+xPsyrate No.
+João Rezende (jplr98) burst mode is 1800 rpm
Burst fire sets the RPM to something obnoxious like 1200 and it has practically no recoil if u have a good trigger finger it destroys at all ranges, which is why it's the best

Hey levelcap, I know you're probably too busy to read this but if you happen to read it here it is.
I'm on the last few weapons on my path to mastering every weapon in battlefield 4. I'm on the PDW called the JS2, after its clip was reduced to 30 rounds I stopped using it, but recently i noticed I'm getting four shot kills pretty far across the map, I can outgun most players even while they use assault rifles. I haven't noticed anyone else using it so if you wanted to review it the JS2 could become a more popular used PDW.
Aside from that I'd like to say good job with all the content and I've enjoyed your videos, keep up the good work! :)
The fact that you see so many people using so many different guns in bf4 shows they really did a good job post launch of balancing guns. whereas in bf3 it was only m16s and AEKs
It is not AK-971 it is AEK-971!!!
You do know why, right?
Experimental Kalashnikov you idiot
+Damon Fitzpatrick Yes... made by Russian army not by the Kalashnikov company.
+pavle štetić that probably won't change the name
+Damon Fitzpatrick Not even related to the Kalashnikov lel
It's by Sergey Koksharov

When he said "aek971" at 8:04 turn on captions
CrazySkullGamer haha a canine 71
CrazySkullGamer lol
Really surprised the Sar-21 hasn't made the list. Has a low fire rate, but the stability is unbelievable, and unless you have superb control when firing in full auto, the other assault rifles will miss hits due to stability and accuracy problems, which the Sar-21 makes up for. I find you get a serious amount of headshots when it's coupled with a Stubby Grip and Heavy Barrel. I understand that at CQC it wont hold up against the quicker firing weapons but when playing on bf4's big maps, I tend to encounter more people at medium range and the Sar-21 excels at medium to close range. I've been able to take down snipers from very long ranges and DMR's with this weapon as it's so stable and accurate. Maybe it's because I am a console gamer and the level of control isn't as good as it is on PC but I think it's crazy to leave the Sar-21 out of this video.
Dude LevelCaps content is SO good.
AEK is shit imo. Too much recoil and drift and it's just not good. But when others use it, they are gods.
Where's the bulldog at?
After listening to this guy, ive never been on a worse cold streak in my entire life, i used guns levelcap basically endorses and they honestly suck, i mean ive gotten over 500 kills with the pdw-r and occasionally snipe with the cs-5 iron sights and they work great, cant rely on stats all the time its the man that makes the gun not the statistics of it.
Lol
rip
Yeah but this is a best guns in the game video not a best players in the game video
as some people are looking at the comment section everyone is good at there own gun levelcap is just handing out guns that have best dpm and other things but if you use a gun that you like you will have a better experience because you can control it and you know how to use it
It all comes down to personal preference really. Great video as always mate!
m416 by far best assault rifle in bf4
Scar-H says hello
Ak-12 is awesome
The 416 is the best overall assault rifle for an aggressive runner. Very balanced with a vertical grip and that quick reload.
+Kenneth Williams well put! The HK416 is the best assault rifle in BF4. It has the best reload and is versatile. Its only downside is that it IS an assault rifle. Which means vehicles are your worst enemy.
AEK is beast, I was struggling a lot with other guns, but as soon as I got the coyote optics on it, my kd ratio went to 2 in almost most matches on lockers
quite simple really: anything close quarters (Pearl Market, Metro, Locker, Guilin Peaks...): run with the AEK, anything medium range combat (Rogue, Zavod, a lot of Outbreak...): The L85A2. Mhhkay? Mhhkay!
2019?
Sup
where's the AR160??
He said he wasn't including any weapons that fire under 750 RPM
+Rafael D. Soriano Yeah, it's a good gun but the L85A2, the SCAR H and the M416 would out damage an AR160
Why no love for the SAR?
I know it's amazingly accurate and kills quickly is used at optimal longer ranges.
+Zwoosh B SAR-21 is my fav weapon
+Zwoosh B The SAR has a really low rate of fire but it's incredible at long ranges and it is stupidly lethal on hardcore mode.
M16A4 with AFG, ACOG, Laser Sight and Heavy barrel is a beast. Great at CQC and with single fire it's basically a DMR, extremely accurate at long range.
Hey levelcap! You should do some more updated videos on weapons for classes. That'd be sweet
My favorite assault rifle is the AN94. I just love the versatility of that weapon.
The burst mode makes it a god gun ! I snipe bastards from very far away hahahahah
I have a strong dislike when it comes to optics on the AN-94 but other then that pretty beast gun (the optic crosshairs don't line up with the iron sights, ruins the gun for me)
The AN-94 in my opinion suffices as a starter gun and that's it. As soon as you unlock the SCAR-H, you're set.
+James “GUNSLINGER” Blackburn: I dunno man. I can get 50-60 kills in a round with the burst AN94, I can only get around 30-40 kills a round with any other assault rifles. I've just been used to it ever since it came out in BFBC2. Then BF3 just made it better!
+Ryan Q: I guess I just learned the pattern man. I haven't had any trouble with this weapon. I feel comfortable when I have it equipped.
L85a2 by far
the weapon I have most kills with is the sar 21
Same but only for stability
That is the worst weapon for close range. On locker I was murdered when I had it. I then switched to FAMAS and G18 and killed everyone.
+MrDeagle50Cal yeah I agree but I'm useless with the fast rate of fire weapons
The F2000 is amazing, you're mistaken on that one sir. You also forgot about the Bulldog
AEK-971 is one of my favorites practically every time I use it I run out of ammo due to a kill streak and ROF. It always feels like it has no recoil whatsoever to me.
