Lately I have noticed more and more people using SMGs on both scouts and medium frames. After being killed by them a couple of times I started doing some research on them so I could make a QQ thread, and I found most of the players that use these sidearms, especially the scouts, claim its the best sidearm to use in the game and it takes "an average amount of skill." They also claim that its hipfire is great.

Needless to say I didn't believe them especially after looking at all the stats and realizing most of them do more damage than the HMG and they don't take a heavy slot like the HMG does. So I decided to make a new toon and try out these death dealing sidearms for the first time. (I have never used them before today as I dont actually use sidearms on my main because I don't need anything but my AR.)

My suspicions were correct about being way overpowered and very easy to use. Most of my kills were against STARTER fits and they still dropped the target in a about -+ a magazine or less. I also dropped several heavies without having to reload just by switching to my second SMG. I would also say headshots with the SMG was just as easy as with my AR.

1. Just because HMGs are UP doesn't make another weapon OP
2. In the Academy you can make plasma cannons look OP
3. Your AR does a lot more damage then the HMG because of it having laser accuracy until 30 shots are fired continuously.

Its a medium to close range weapon. The gun is pretty well balanced. Its rounds per minute are significantly less than that of an assault rifle, and less damage. It's a weapon you really should not pull out unless you are familiar with your surroundings, and judgement on what your shooting at.
