Behring P8-AR Vs Gemini S71 Comparison - Star Citizen 3.24.2 -

[@Xaxxus]

i love how the P8-AR has a full auto toggle switch on the side, but it is limited to semi-auto.

[@FriedChickin]

Yup they are teasing us

[@Keiser-h4z]

Cause this P8 AR is the civilian version, its like ar15/m4

[@danielwilke7574]

​@@Keiser-h4z then it still shouldn't have a full auto switch. If you have that on a civilian AR youll get arrested

[@Keiser-h4z]

@@danielwilke7574 probably just easier to have the same model for both, or a dev just forgot to remove the "auto" painted on it . Sadly devs, even the ones who creates guns in games have little to none experience with actual guns

[@evan5710]

Yeah it’s mostly likely to cut down on resources, it is the sq42 “hero weapon” after all

[@Bronwyn031]

Great video! I bought 3 of the CitCon Goodie bundles for the custom looking container boxes since we still CAN'T label our darn personal containers or buy them in different colors. When you're like me and you like to organize your personal inventories, you tend to amass a lot of containers. The P8-ARs were bonuses for me. I tried shooting the thing over my S71(which I have loved since it was introduced) and the recoil is insane. You better hit the target with that first shot because the follow up shot will be over the target's head. And the P8-AR's magazine is so small. Nah, I'll stick with my tried-and-true Gemini S71.

[@FriedChickin]

@@Bronwyn031 I bought 2 packs! But I’m fine with the P8 having 15 rounds. Anything more would make it a god tier gun, also CIG did update the 1scu personal crates. They got logos and text saying “self storage”

[@nathanielgoodwin]

Great video love content like this keep up the good work

[@FriedChickin]

Thanks! Just trying my best!

[@Meatpiesgaming]

Nice work on the vid, thank you

[@JonBergacs]

I love the semi auto guns. S71 is my current go to for primary gun but I love how the P8 looks.

[@FriedChickin]

@@JonBergacs in live mine is gallant but I am really enjoying the P8

[@DismayingHades6]

XD bruh i be rockin the same armor set with the helmet and everything lmao! 6:40, thats been my new favorite mash up in the last 2 weeks, another good one is the stinger armor from the sub store and the hazard helmet

[@FriedChickin]

Rock it with a yellow under suite or green/orange!!! It’s one of my faves as well

[@Storm-Cleaver]

Thanks for the comparrison. I often run with P4-ARs when I can't get my favourite, the S71. I love the Gemini line, so it and the A03 are my main weapons, but it's nice to have variety in the 'verse.

[@garrycopeland6149]

Useful info, thx

[@sfcdemonm46]

thanks for the vid, haven't used the P8 yet. I like the S71 but disappointed that it doesn't have to scope on it, or at least the ones I come across don't.

[@timothyj.moulton9907]

You can add and remove scopes to each gun.

[@FriedChickin]

Yeah they used to come with a 4x scope. I haven’t seen the stock scope since 3.18

[@SVOYA_ATMOSFERA_]

Thx 4 test 👍

[@FriedChickin]

@@SVOYA_ATMOSFERA_ No problem! Stay tuned for My next test that will be a ranged/dmg drop off test and how many shots it takes to force a ships door open

[@mrvei-vg7et]

fun video, i will still use p4ar till we get the p8arm

[@FriedChickin]

@@mrvei-vg7et I don’t think we will ever get the P8-AR-M. Cig pretty much made it clear that it’s only for S42. Maybe after S42 chapter 2 releases in 2035

[@Mor4me]

@@FriedChickin 2035. So optimistic 😁

[@FriedChickin]

@@Mor4me gotta dream a little right 🤣

[@Mor4me]

@@FriedChickin yep 👍

[@andreprado5953]

Missed comments about the optics, the P8-AR can use 8x optics, while the S71 4x optics

[@FriedChickin]

@@andreprado5953 an 8x is pretty excessive for a firearm that has more recoil than a sniper

[@Cpt.Fabi1908]

The 8x optics are a bug they actually said that in a comment on spectrum. You also am currently equip the Emod stabilizer currently and other this which is also a bug.

[@edgelordcutting]

i do a lot of piracy, some tests i would like to see are damage drop off at range, in Eva and how effective each weapon is for boarding actions opening the back of a c2 for example.

[@FriedChickin]

@@edgelordcutting that is a very good idea. I know I can do a video on how many shots it takes to open a ship back door. If you have a particular 3 ships in mind let me know! And I can do some far range shots with the P8 since there is a bug that allows me to attach a 8x. But I don’t know if I can do the EVA testing against npcs.

[@fnunez]

Yes! With most weapons, if you want to be effective against anything more than a few yards away, you need energy weapons. Even inside bunkers you can notice that damage drop-off. Maybe that huge kick comes with decent range.

[@Skar38rus]

u said supressor, another attachments at the same slot also decreese damage? or only supressor?

[@FriedChickin]

I said suppressed and un suppressed. Suppressor in game knocks off 15% damage at all ranges.

[@aso6437]

It's like comparing 556 with 308 both guns have there place and their users I am a 308 kind of guy that and I can careless about head shots.

[@FriedChickin]

@@aso6437 the devs said the ammo for the P8 is 7.62. On a spectrum post🤷🏾‍♂️ hard to really tell tbh Edit: it was on the same thread that debunked the 8X scope and immobilizer

[@ohyeah2816]

The P8-AR reminds me of the old UK SLR with it semi auto and black furniture, just needs a bayonet fitting. The SLR would shoot through a brick wall due to the round. Only problem with it just now is the magazine loads empty on odd occasions.

[@FriedChickin]

Yeah happened a few Times to me during a fire fight

[@niravashx7669]

Sick armor man what is it?

[@FriedChickin]

Red alert with cadillo helm

[@niravashx7669]

@@FriedChickin hell yeah man thanks for the quick response

[@AndreasMadsen]

What version of the S71 is that? It's spelled "Behring" btw 😉

[@FriedChickin]

It’s the ascension version and noted and fixed.

[@AndreasMadsen]

@@FriedChickin oh. Thanks! I even have that one, just never tried it lol. Looks like a lot more golden metallic on the pictures in the store. Great video! I hope we can actually buy these rifles in the shops soon, since we can't reclaim them if lost.

[@FriedChickin]

@@AndreasMadsen most paid for items or items that have special unique attributes are usually only found in loot boxes. I don’t think CIG would ever put it in stores, but who knows

[@AndreasMadsen]

@@FriedChickin yeah, I just meant the regular versions 😊

[@FriedChickin]

You used to be able to buy them at space stations. But they took it all away. I miss the scopes they used to come with.

[@Xaxxus]

sad it wont be worth using until we have a way to reclaim it. I assume they arent selling these at shops yet.

[@FriedChickin]

Idk about you but I’m using mine day one! Even if they aren’t selling at shops! I use my special gear

[@redslate]

You get two of them in this pack. You can afford to lose one. Personally, I've been a lot more willing to lose unique equipment as of late. I don't play a whole lot, so there tends to be a timely reset before said items are missed. Eventually, CIG will need to provide an amicable solution, but that's likely a low priority.

[@FriedChickin]

@@redslate watch CIG turn the concierge room at orison into a store where we can buy back our sub player using in game credit

[@Mor4me]

Could you say The P4 and P6 made a P8

[@FriedChickin]

Think I mention that on my field test video

[@Mor4me]

@@FriedChickin oh I just 2x to the recoil part, thanks for that. Could you run it with a 4x against the p6, it might be kool to run the bunker with just one mag, “15 up 15 down” good title for a video too 👍👍

[@CrowDawg11]

Like you said at the end, it's basically the difference between the FAL and the M-16. The P-8 even looks like a FAL.

[@o3941]

I own an FAL, and I promise you the P8 does not look like the FAL at all.

[@johnlesterr8927]

oh GOD i just noticed this guns anims are so awful. The bolt locks back ON ITS OWN. I hate being a gun nerd now, this is mentally painful

[@merclord]

They are definitely gonna nerf the P8-AR. I would expect them to do it after CitizenCon.

[@FriedChickin]

@@merclord yeah it’s so OP it makes the AO3 sniper look like a pea shooter

[@merclord]

@@FriedChickin Yeah and it kinda sucks. The inevitable nerf is what's keeping me from buying it right now.

[@FriedChickin]

@@merclord buy it because once it’s gone, it goes up in value. My demon fang is worth about 400 now.

[@merclord]

@@FriedChickin no way! 😲

[@FriedChickin]

@@merclord not joking. This pack will instantly rise in value after citizen con is over. I always buy 2 packs each yeah
