How is it not working properly or as well as it could be? The point of the spread is to simulate the real spread of an automatic rifle. Sure they could make it so every round out of the BR is spot on, but why would they? That's not how a real rifle works.
I agree; the spread should simulate the real spread of an automatic rifle. Lets take a look at a current real life rifle that can be compared to the battle rifle, the m16. Lets just browse through some stats here... 3 round burst, yes, that sounds about right... lets just take a look at the range now...
WOA! Apparently the "real life" counterpart to the BR shoots three-round bursts at an effective range of over 500 meters. That means it can hit a target within a few inches at 500 meters, assuming proper aim, every time. Hmmm, the BR seems to only shoot accurate bursts at 30 meters, if that. That doesn't sound realistic at all, especially considering 500 years of new technology that would be included in the BR.
So if you're going to use the "realism" argument, which is stupid to begin with, at least get your facts straight. The BR spread is in no way "realistic."
