Sorry buddy but due to the incoming accuracy received bonuses of vet 5 Volks, they will beat vanilla rifles so don't say contrary to that. Vet 3 rifles vs. vet 5 volks is a different story.
-49% Incoming received accuracy means vanilla rifles/cons find it much harder to hit them at mid-long range given their starting accuracy. Also try getting in close to hit them with vanilla cons who actually have an incoming received accuracy of +9%.
Yeah but i can safely assume that when the volks has vet 5 the rifle squad has vet 3 and has lmg's/bars
