Stalcraft Wiki: XM8 (A)
STALCRAFT Meta note
The XM8 (A) is a 5.56 assault rifle built around handling: it has the fastest draw in its class, quick aiming, low vertical and horizontal recoil, tight hip-fire spread and an aimed spread tighter than average. Damage per shot is in the upper-middle of the class, the rate of fire is above average and maximum distance is long. Damage drops only modestly across its falloff range.

Damage Profile
How these values are calculated
STALCRAFT Meta draws the damage chart for the selected upgrade level: full damage up to the falloff start, then a straight-line drop to minimum damage at the falloff end. The TTK Calculator and DPS Table use the same falloff model.
It shows damage per hit only, without ammo, armor or body-part multipliers.
Values at each upgrade level come from EXBO's per-level data.
