While I hate the general “aim for the head” advise. In the case of the BR-16 (and Stark AR). it is pretty much all there is to it.
So aim for the head and more important only shoot, if you are on target. The Burstrifles will dish out tremendious amounts of damage, while staying accurate. But they do punish you hard for missfiring.

The spread is actually pretty tight, which is good.

Initiate by aiming at the head. Score a headshot or two, or three, then aim for the body. This is the general strat I use, works great.

If the wiki was right, then burst rifles are incredibly deadly.

15 damage per shot. Headshot multiplier times two. 30 damage per shot, three shots, 90 damage. One shots Sparks, Aura, and I think Proxy. I have done this before, and that triple ting is so satisfying.

Its a deadly weapon but suffers from aimpunch horribly, so as long as your not getting shot at, its one of the best weapons in the game but with aimpunch its pretty average.

Hello, I have spent around 150+ hours playing Kira with only BR-16 (public servers) and so far I can say it’s amazing weapon when you are guy who starts shooting or you land hits 1st, with headshots it just melts enemies (but it’s not any miracle, aiming well with M4A1 will bring also as good results).

Full burst in head deals 90dmg but situations when you 1shot kira sparks or proxy aren’t so often because 3rd shot isn’t as accurate (or it’s me).

This weapon excells at range, for me there is no better long range weapon than br-16 in this game, you can hipfire snipers easily - you have adventage over every smg or other rifle (ignore stark), keeping distance will place you in adventage.

This weapon is weak in cqc/short range - not because it’s in any means weaker but because of aimpuch that is huge, when enemy shoots with crotzi and has decent aim (above average player that has good acc but might not even aim for head) can be problematic (I am aiming only for head so it touches me quite hard) - you can miss everything with bad timing with his hits/your shots.

1# When you move around corner try to take longer route (stay far crom corner) it might help.
2# Don’t go all out against 2/3+ enemies in building - you can be out of joice because of aimpunch resulting in unwanted reload in middle of the room.

I am sure I can write much more about this weapon but I have no time for it now so this are the basics.

PS: After last patch because aimpunch BR-16 seems weaker.

Warning: Keep in mind that learning automatic weapons (M4 or decent smg) will bring you mostly better close/mid range results and smilar long range results (harder to pull off but still very effective) and your arsenal will be much bigger. Sadly I am not sure if it’s worth learning this weapon if you not trully love it.

About my playstyle: I am guy who rushes with kira, always beeing on 1st line (only other outcome is on 3rd stage on chapel) trying to outskill every other player with HS, always played like this - even playing CO in ET (my global public stats in ET were: 50%+ acc, 50% hits HS with sten or MP40/Thompson - nickname: VeNoM & VeNoM’ clans: .A. & .Sk@ hanging around top10 in splatterladder).

Sorry for long post, I am planning to make some post about br-16 and kira in future but 1st i need to sort out thoughts to avoid what is above.
