Mini14 Balance Changes

Balance Philosophy

For every weapon between A and S tier, apply one nerf to one aspect of it so it's not completely dominant on the battlefield.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

1. Damage

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Damage reduced from 48 to 46.

   Current issue

   The Mini14 has high bullet velocity, low recoil, and a fast firing rate, making it very consistent at medium and long range.

   Reason

   Reducing damage prevents its combination of accuracy and speed from making it too forgiving.
