Carbine has always been 7 shot, but it is dead accurate, and you can fire it very quickly. DMR can 5 shot, is accurate, but has the bloom so you have to pace your shots. BR has been 4 shot, you can shoot them in succession quickly and be accurate. Now that its 5 shot and less effective at long range, it loses to the DMR unless your at mid/close range and even then its a toss up. I feel if the BR was 4 shot and MAYBE slow its fire rate a hair, the weapons would all be balanced. Right now I feel Carbine and DMR are obviously better choices compared to BR.

Right now the DMR just dominates the BR at range. BR has a better chance at mid range, but DMR is just too powerful. The battle rifle takes longer to kill someone compared to the DMR. I like the DMR how it is, but the BR needs to be 4 shots to kill in order for there to be balance between them.
