The blast radius on them is BROKEN. I had someone blow me up from full health and even though i went across a building to avoid it they were spamming hits on one area that displayed just how bloody far the blast goes... it's messed up. FYI, I spent a few minutes after i died figuring out where he was and how the heck he managed to get me once i figured it out and watched him spam an area trying to kill me again. The radius is wider then a tank! Yes, the radius, not diameter! Good luck avoiding that ****. |

Which means the diameter is 16.5.....but according to the MD scrubs on the forums...its balanced perfectly because you know you cant be required to actually aim to hit someone.. 
As someone else mentioned, there's also the 5% per level blast radius increase from the skill, just in case you had a hard time hitting with that kind of radius.... |

It's a situational weapon, and sometimes the situation really favors lots of MD's. I'm sure there are other situations where a squad of MD's would be a poor choice, such as attacking uphill. I wouldn't give that squad much of a chance to capture Objective A on Manus Peak. A couple AR's on the objective would mow them down before they got close.
MD's are the shark attacks of DUST. You may be mowed down time and time again by AR's and snipers and you shrug your shoulders and forget about it, but the one time you are pounded to next week by a bunch of MD's you remember it. The damage is fine, the clip size is fine, the range is fine, in my opinion curently only the radius is a problem since you cant miss a shot even if you are bad with it, that make the MD a noobtool currently, with a nerf on the splash, only who are good with the MD still continue to use it has intended
Exactly, everything is fine except the radius. |
