Better overall? Cycler TRV w/ soft point ammo T1S Cycler SB w/ high velocity ammo I want to use my certs to get 1 and then keep upgrading other things, not get both.
T1S is generally considered the superior gun because of its increased loadout options. You'll want to end up buying both ammos for either, anyway, the same as you'll buy a 2x reflex, 3.4x and NV scope for all your guns. Also, don't write off the NS-11A. Also, are you *sure* you want to use certs on guns? Certs come around 50-100/hr, so, you're selling your time for like, wages which would offend sweat shop labourers. You can go buy a $15 card at Gamestop which gives you 1500 (or 3000 if you wait for a double SP offer) and you get a free 700 cert gun to boot (the NS-11).

I bought the Cycler S during Black Friday double SC, I was thinking of going cert route too but glad I didn't. I was going to get the Gamestop offer for NS-11A which is indeed a great gun and I find similar to Cycler. The TRV is great at CQC but so is Cycler. It's more versatile with it's 3 firemodes, underbarrel attachment, ammos, compensator, etc. Can really reduce recoil and u can load it out with scopes/ammo and use it exclusively. I think you'll find T1S a gun you'll use for every situation where as TRV imo is more limited. Again NS-11 is a good 2ndary option and may prefer it even.
I'm sold on the SABR-13. I've gotten 700+ kills with three different guns, but my accuracy (24%) with the sabr is much higher. In addition my time spent with it is the least. I think the increased headshots account for the difference. CQC it's pretty "meh", but if you can land head shots it can still be pro. Aim for the neck under 40 meters, and the second burst shot is almost a guaranteed headshot. BTW, i use a high velocity, x4 scope,froward grip, and a compensator. The Cyclers are good, but since they still have a similiar CQC factor as the SABR, I'm not sure it's worth giving up the SABR's obvious superiority at range.
sabr-13 is awesome, really good at hip fire and decent at range. I got a strong feeling it may be nerfed in the future so it no longer melts things like a shotgun at knifing range.
Is there Battle rifles/DMR? Something like G3A3, 417, Scar-h. High damage, low fire rate, small magazine. Just start playing, don't have time to try them all. Thanks. Ouch, the last 3 is shotgun. So i think Sabr-13 is my choice.
Cycler TRV is by far the best CQC gun you can pick and with a 4x scope and Advanced Lasersight you will be able to shine
I have the Barrage (slugs or default), Sabre13 and Cycler S. I always come back to the Cycler. 2x Red dot, high velocity ammo, underbarrel grenade launcher, compensator or suppressor. Great killing power, the Cycler's signature insanely low recoil and the important ability to clear a room fast with the GL and get those revives popping. I alternate between compensator and suppressor, not decided 100% yet. The high velocity ammo increases velocity more than the suppressor slows it down. The advantage of the suppressor is: You often find yourself as medic killing off an enemy that has just hit one of your friendlies. In that situation, the suppressor lets you quietly take them down and not appear on radar. This puts you at less risk while you take out med app, revive, switch back. It is also legit an advantage when you get the drop on several enemies. You will be able to kill more before they recognize the incoming bullets and their direction. Fact. I tend to use suppressor in smaller engagements. In large fights, your cycler becomes even more of a beast with compensator and high velocity. On point aiming with full auto, incredibly fast bullets lets you put down targets at good range. I don't recommend using 3.4x or 4x even with this setup though, as I have had short range engagements where I have actually lost my target 5ft away due to the larger scope blocking view. Stick with the 2x red dot. oh, and MAX THAT MED APP!
I'm a big fan of the basic T1. With a x3.4 red dot sight, i find i'm able to handle most fights without any "oh i wish i had x" recriminations. I have the TR-V because i bought the alpha pack, but to be honest it rarely sees the light of day.
I have both the SABR and the cycler TRV. They are awesome but both have some downsides. The TRV will chew though its magazine fast then take all day to reload, the red dot also sways a little due to the recoil. the SBAR dual firing has a bit to much vertical and horizontal recoil at long range, i may hit with the first bullet but miss with the second. although the single fire mode is more effective, you can pop off headshots at whatever range you like as long as you have the aim. I would like a 6x scope with it, but it would probably make he rifle way OP since its very effective at hip fire.
I used the SABR a lot, but I've switched to the T1S for the softpoint ammo and grenade launcher. These things make it superior IMO.
I think the Sabr is a more better medium to semi long range rifle, longer the range aim a little lower on their body and the 2nd round of the burst will often headshot. Unfortunately most its attachments are pretty useless aside from the high velo ammo... the compensator doesn't do anything good for it really unless you've got the high velo ammo
