Well, from personal experience, I can't really say much of anything about the 550, I just never get the chance to use it. However, I was fortunate enough to get the 556 Camo for my July 4 present for 1 week, and that was my favorite gun I've ever been able to use. From personal use of the 556 camo, here's what I think are the strengths/weaknesses:
Strengths: Accuracy, Rate of Fire, Recoil
Weakness: Damage
For some reason, this gun was just fantastic for me. I could lay 10 rounds into a target at medium range before they even knew what hit 'em, if I had to. Up close, the massive fire rate was just devastating to my opponents, and it's low damage was easily compensated by this. It's recoil felt (to me) basically nonexistant on the first few shots, and with tapping shots like a semi-auto, I was able to take care of anyone within the gun's max range with ease. If this thing were a GP weapon, I'd buy it every day. I can't remember how many rounds were in the 556 Camo on default, but I definitely had 30 when in use. I'm just unsure if I modded it or if it came that way. So, if you want to try to get some use out of it, maybe try some of the long range encounters again, but keep on tapping that trigger. If you get it down right, the enemy will never be able to hit you because you keep slamming them with rounds and knocking them off target. Hope this helps a bit.
Just wondering, how many shots does it take to kill with the SG-550? My guess is 5.
Noah7302: Just wondering, how many shots does it take to kill with the SG-550? My guess is 5.
its 4 on med an lightys, 5 on heavy- with silencer, its 5 flat. Dont silence it
i use a trishot on mine with extended clip... The trishot is a godly item... the reflex is trash, but the Trishot is godlike.
with that scope HSing is easy... but i wouldnt say the SG was made for that- it was made (in this game mind you) for being able to repeatedly hit the target with little to no misses. I think its just fine- boost the fkin AUG A3- thats sad man... i switched to my SG at close range and got MUCH better results.
Finally to the one who asked about the scope (PLEASE correct me if i am wrong... though i have a feeling im safe)- just look at CSS, they gave it a sniper scope, i dont know if it could really use that effectively, but hell, its an option.
I don't know, the high price and 20 ammo for the magazine makes it bad, if you hate recoil that much just go to the M4A1 or M416, M416 is superior because of the stats.
1.M416 has 30 ammo on magazine while SG550 only gets 20.M416 is the winner.
2.M416 deals more damage than the SG550.M416 is the winner.
3.M416 has better portability than the SG550.M416 is the winner.
4.SG550 has better rate of fire than the M416.SG550 is the winner.
5.SG550 is more accurate than the M416.SG550 is the winner.
6.The recoil is the same for both weapons.No winner here.
M416:3
SG550:2
I see a better gun already so get that instead.

Except for 2 things:
> 1a. SG550 has a total ammo nerf as well as the clip nerf. Combine this fact with the low damage, and you get far fewer kills before you run dry.
> 6a. The M416's lower refire rate has the effect of decreasing recoil when on fullauto, so the M416 has the advantage here.

Good god dude, learn your terms. We don't have a single gun in this game that takes clips for one, and two..refire rate? That would be rate of fire.
Also, the SG550 has not been nerfed. There aren't enough people using it for people to get annoyed by it.
Col_Droop: they will just get locked and i will be forgotten about in no more than a week
1st:The SG 550 & SG 556 should both have 30 round Mags, they use the same Mags as the other M4 class Rifles.
2nd: they use the same ammo as the M4 class why are they so much weaker?
Why is the G36 the same as the AK 47 in damage when it uses the same bullet as the the M4's?

Why do people do these stat compares, they are ridiculous. Comparing the stats to show superiority is a flawed method. Observe.
I shall compare the M92FS to the L96A1.
1. M92FS has 15 ammo while the L96A1 has only 5. M92FS is clearly the winner.
2. L96A1 deals more damage the the M92. L96A1 is the winner.
3. M92FS has more portability the the L96A1. M92FS is the winner.
4. M92FS has a better fire rate then the L96A1. M92FS is the winner.
5. L96A1 is more accurate then the M92FS. L96A1 is the winner.
6. The recoil is better on the M92FS then on the L96A1. M92FS is the winner.
M92FS: 4
L96A1: 2
The stats tell us that the M92FS is a better gun.
Please stop using these stat tables which are useless.

That's a rather foolish criticism. The problem isn't that stat comparisons are worthless per se. The problem is that YOU decided you were going to use two entirely different classes of weapons in your artificial example. Anotherwords, you didn't just put your thumb on the scales, you paid an elephant to sit on one side. No wonder your result was .
The clip size on a 1-hit-kill sniper is less important than the clip size on a pistol? THANK YOU CAPTAIN OBVIOUS.
However, you CAN compare weapons within the same class as long as you do so intelligently, and properly weight the differences. You know, like you failed to do when you counted only one point for the damage difference between a 4-5 hit kill weapon and a one-hit-kill.
Just because you are anti-intellectual doesn't mean everyone else has to abandon analysis types you don't like.
And harold, way to seek out the dumbest post on the thread and agree with it because the writer displayed the proper amount of "attitude".
