the MD is good, but could use more ammo,
the flaylock is fine but needs .5m extra radius. the low damage and everything is good though...

what do you think?

As a HMG user I love meeting an AR at close range, but MDs still scare me, because you can neither fire back accurately nor take cover. If you took away the one drawback (limited ammo) the MD would be OP. As for the flaylock, it was nerfed for a reason.

if you are an HMG user like myself, you'd know that its actually better to fight a mass drive than an AR, cuz of the DPS.

objectively lets give them the benefit of the doubt. its not a damage buff, not a RoF buff, not a clip size buff. its just a max ammo buff. most MD users are gone before they even get to that much ammo. reward the good players with something like this.

I will beat an AR one on one at close range 90%+ of the time in pubs (much lower in PC, obviously). I'm putting out roughly as much DPS, have a massive clip, and usually double the HP, so of course I'll win. An MD, on the other hand, can significantly out DPS me, by putting cover between me and them and hitting me with splash, or just by hitting me repeatedly so my screen is shaky and I can't land my shots. I'm not saying the MD should be nerfed, just that it's good where it is.
