So I was trying to experiment with the DMRs and it just seems like an inferior gun choice. What are the advantages to picking this gun over others?

It seems like these guns have too much kick when you fire, that it makes the accuracy questionable. I haven't unlocked a ton for them yet but it seems like stability maximization is almost required.

Thoughts?

Whats dmr? Which class?

There's a whole class of rifles in the DMR classification.

All classes can use them.

no clue
im only using mx4 on engi
or m416 on assuly

You need to pace your shots to have accurate shots. Kinda like the DMR from Halo Reach. The RFB can kill in 2 shots if well placed, but if you fire it a bit too fast, it will have bad accuracy.

this, they have stability issues. Ive unlocked the sks and its more stable and easy to use

That is true, but pacing shots seems to be a huge disadvantage at mid range vs assault rifles, lmgs, and carbines. It feels like the weapons are best if you are picking off unsuspecting targets at mid-ish range, but if you are under any suppressive fire or in a fire fight the effectiveness of the weapon drops tremendously. And with the rfb I've noticed most kills take at least 3 shots unless you get a headshot basically(again I haven't unlocked a ton for it yet though). Also some moving targets at range seem to be tough to hit at times, like the gun isn't as accurate as it feels it should be - though I'm still not sure how the range modifier works with down on the dpad.

I'm not gonna give up with them yet though, just what I've found so far in my testing. Anyone completely disagree with what I said though? Maybe I just haven't used them enough yet.

no pretty much everything out guns them

SKS is super OP you will see, they make you deal with shitty DMR's until you finally unlock it and once you have it you will never miss a shot again.
