Tested the QBU-88 on test bootcamp and i noticed it had no bullet drop whatsoever. I also tried the HK417 and had to use the reticule to adjust where my bullet would hit. ( As it should be) Is this a bug or just a gameplay feature? Because i think it's weird that a 7.62mm weapon have more drop then a 5.8mm weapon.

A QBU-88, I think, has a bullet velocity of 895(Mps?) ingame. HK417 has 789. To put that in perspective, AK47 has 715, and AK74 has 900. Other 556 rifles usually go 900-1000.
My guess is that the DEVs probably cooked these values up reflecting the weapon's real life characteristics, as they should.
556 rounds also have an accuracy/velocity/range flavor over most other weapons that would otherwise favor kinetic impact.
