I've been using the Baur since I unlocked it and had a few comments. If there's a thread on this weapon already, I apologize.

I find in most cases at the end of the round that I'm #1 when it comes to the Baur. This may be due to me being a good player and usually scoring high, but I rarely see a number above 10 in the number of players using it. Even on INF only maps. I was wondering why this is, then I realized that the Baur is extremely unwieldy and hard to learn at first, but, once mastered is more effective than any other assault weapon. At least, in my opinion. So here's a short list of what to keep in mind while using it.

1. Patience - It's a virtue, and it's necessary to use this weapon. You have to aim it, you only have 20 rounds in which to kill someone.
2. Aim for the head or chest - This should be self explanatory, these two areas inflict the most damage, and in most cases, if you shoot the chest, the recoil may hit the head on the second shot.
3. Fire in 2-round bursts - The Baur is a high-caliber weapon with high damage output. What this means is that on the third shot, you're fire will be wild. An exception to this rule is when the enemy is in short range (i.e. 20- meters).
4. Don't engage more than 2 opponents at once - If you're good (and lucky) you'll be able to take out two opponents with ease, but any more than that and you risk running out of ammo before you take down the third.
5. Get good with pistols - Given the small box of 20 rounds for the Baur, you should hone your pistol skills for those situations when the enemy is in short range and nearly dead from your previous fire. Pulling out your pistol is a lot faster than reloading, and if someone is switching to their primary, you have a good chance of taking them down. Shoot for the head!
6. Don't use single-shot unless the target is over 100 meters away - It is really tempting to use this weapon in the single-shot mode. My suggestion is to get used to the fire rate and simply use 2 round bursts instead, this way you're not at a disadvantage when someone flanks from behind and you're stuck on single mode.

EDIT: Single-shot mode is entirely at the discretion of the user. I would suggest messing around with the options until you find something comfortable for you. The more comfortable you are, the more effective you are.

If anyone wants to add or subtract from this list, feel free, I'm not the only expert on this gun. In fact, I'm probably not an expert, but I'm usually the best at it during rounds. I see a lot of people using the Voss, but I can tell you that the Baur beats the voss every time when you get out to 50 meters, a distance at which most engagements occur. The Voss is definitely user-friendly and I don't blame anyone for using it.

Thanks for reading. I hope this helped some of you become familiar with this great weapon!
