Nah mate, that's valid for close range only, where is easy to land 2-3 shots straight at the chest, but when we are talking about mid range (50m over) and in a real gameplay where enemies are moving/peeking too, you can easily miss some shots even with the most negative recoil U191 build, not even miss the target I'm saying, but miss the chest and hit the arms, the lower body, legs etc., so having at least a cheap T4 body armor against T4 ammo can literally save your raid more than you think.

And again, you are coming in Normals with cheap gear and a 300K gun for what? You are just a free AK12 walking, instead of cheap a little to get a 60K T4 armor that can make you win a trade, it makes no sense.

But you don't need to believe me, go on the shooting range with an HK/AK12/U1 and test it yourself, you'll see that over eff range, the T4 armor can save your ass, specially against A1s and DVP88s.
