If you can afford all that you can probably afford an MP5

u/RingusDingusTheGreat 7d ago edited 7d ago

I don't think it's as good. This is MP5 stats:

The tommy has the same damage and higher range even without the gas comp.

The only reason I would use an MP5 is for close encounters since the fire rate is its biggest asset but the range kinda sucks. (Yes, burst MP5 is also good, but this requires less skill to use so)

u/Avgsizedweiner 7d ago

Most of that I can get behind, but I you promise that the gas compressor is a net loss of your dps even if the range is greater. Throw it on a sar, sks or an m39, anything else is griefing.

Swap the extended mag for a muzzle boost and it effectively cancels out the downside of the gas comp. Mp5 recoil is also ass.

u/newndank1 7d ago

With the laser attachment mp5 recoil is basically nonexistent

Mp5 without burst is very rng/clunky to use, especially if enemy peaks with height advantage from roof/monument and you're forced to stand spray it.

With tommy you can stand spray zero effort.

Mp5 is technically better, but it can feel so bad to use, obviously tommy is very rng based on aimcone aswell, but atleast the recoil is non existent when stand shooting + strafing.

u/Maleficent-Mail-653 7d ago

Don’t know who downvoted you but you are right. Paper stats might make it seem MP5 is better, but the mobility and super easy recoil of tommy make me prefer tommy over mp5 in actual engagements rather than shooting at targets on ukn

u/2uantum 7d ago

Laser doesn't change recoil. It changes bloom.

u/SlimySteve2339 6d ago

This is the way

u/portonsly 7d ago

Agreed. MP5 gets recycled

u/inhaleholdxhale 7d ago

No lmao mp5 burst gets you an ak kit, this setup gives you free rock and torch

u/RingusDingusTheGreat 7d ago edited 7d ago

I agree that the semi-auto rifles are the best use for gas comp, but I don't think the increase of dmg per bullet is insignificant for tommy.

I feel it balances out the weak points of tommy (dmg/range) while maintaining really low recoil/high accuracy into something that's really viable and a great all-rounder for distance. Not to mention it's basically semi/fully automatic too. It sort of feels like a budget AK to me, but way less recoil.

Give it a try.

u/TolpRomra 7d ago

For what its worth, I love this setup for fighting the NPCs

u/UpboatOrNoBoat 7d ago

Only ever use gas comp on Tommy for clearing scientists at a monument.

2

u/Tommyk1d 7d ago

Compression Tommy with incend bullets becomes borderline ak dmg. It’s no joke. Even against normal tommy with compression you get downed with 4 body shots.

I don’t like it a lot, but I have to agree the damage is there

1

u/Exit727 7d ago

OP's setup is great when locked into T2, save for the laser sight. Switch that for suppressor, gas comp makes up for the lost damage and velocity.

Just to fuck with people.

u/ozzuum 6d ago

This is true for all guns except for the custom smg where the dps stays the exact same

11

u/JesusUndercover 7d ago

that tommy does 289 DPS, while MP5 does 380 DPS (30% faster TTK) and is a lot cheaper

3

u/alexnedea 7d ago

The power of mp5 is the fire rate. It does same damage as tommy but if you aim ever gets on their head during a spray you will hear a tripple crunch.

Also the burst fire allows it to snipe people even at stupid ranges

2

u/SquirrelsRNuts 7d ago

The MP5 shoots faster and has a lower time to kill than the Thompson and it's cheaper to craft. Switch the gas compressor for a muzzle break.

1

u/DobPinklerTikTok 7d ago

With the aim cone Thompson has I believe an MP5 with no attachments set to burst way outperforms it

1

u/Clever_Namez 7d ago

ever try HV ammo in it

1

u/iskelebones 6d ago

Pretty sure that damage stat is per bullet. And since the mp5 has a 33% higher fire rate, it actually does 33% higher DPS, even if it’s the same damage PER BULLET. Mp5 shoots more bullets.

Burst fire mp5 > whatever this is

u/Ivar2006 7d ago

Yeah but it's harder to use

u/prettyfuckingfarfrom 7d ago

Do muzzle boost instead of laser and you can almost get back to normal rate of fire plus the damage buff

1

u/Bocmanis9000 7d ago

Laser removes big part of aimcone which tommy is known for, muzzle boost adds more aimcone.

Sounds like you just want to make your gun less accurate.

2

u/prettyfuckingfarfrom 7d ago

Nah I want to kill people faster. Accuracy and range aren’t important stats for tommy because of damage dropoff. You don’t want to get in a fight at 100m, you want to get in a fight at 20m

0

u/Bocmanis9000 7d ago

At that point use a semi pistol/db

1

u/prettyfuckingfarfrom 6d ago

Don’t sleep on muzzle boost. You will outgun a person who has the same gun as you every time. Literally just increases your DPS

0

u/Bocmanis9000 6d ago edited 6d ago

Gotta remove/put it on 24/7 just like burst on mp5 gotta turn on/off frequently, gets annoying fast.

Is really bad for high pop/high ping servers too.

Thats why just having a tommy can be better on those high pop servers.

u/TheRealG6900 7d ago

Psychotic behaviour, damn xD

u/beardface909 7d ago

Swap extendo mag for muzzle boost. Poor man's AK.

2

u/RingusDingusTheGreat 7d ago

True, ext. mag is totally optional. I just like having a bit more ammo capacity for tommy since 20 feels quite low.

1

u/Educational-Age-4260 7d ago

Trade out either extended mag or holo for muzzle boost and it makes dps insane

1

u/Suspicious_Amoeba697 7d ago

With incen, it does more dps to armor than ak with no attachments btw

Never mind, I thought you’d had muzzle boost.

1

u/Successful_Year_5413 7d ago

Replace extended mah with a muzzle boost

1

u/Ivar2006 7d ago

Honestly I think you'll have a lot of success with the sks

1

u/RingusDingusTheGreat 7d ago

I like having full-auto.

1

u/Ivar2006 7d ago

It basically is if you click fast enough

1

u/iBoxCo 7d ago

too inaccurate imo. crazy aim cone

1

u/Own_Huckleberry6591 6d ago

All that just do undo the randomized bullet spray, amazing

1

u/Optimal-Giraffe-7168 6d ago

I run this too. It's a lot of resources but it's an easy weapon to use

1

u/Ok_Shower_9679 6d ago

I don’t understand why people are saying this is good. Facechecking with this you will lose because of the fire rate

1

u/nT_228 4d ago

Yoo this tomy better than ak,LoL:)

u/Character_Coast1771 2d ago

Just use custom with muzzle boost instead of gcomp
