When their primary weapon runs out of ammo, and you need to quickly finish off your opponent.
With a 0.3s delay, the Magsec SMG will have a serious disadvantage when compared with other sidearms.
I would hold off on the QQ until you actually see them in action.
For the Mag Sec I'm going to use it when my ScR has their shields down and I need something that their armor doesn't laugh at :/
Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

I would hold off on the QQ until you actually see them in action. Why even bother wielding them like a traditional sidearm? Equip two of them and you basically have the power of two light weapons with a minor drawback. An competent user will easily overcome their pre-charge, especially on a scout suit where you are more likely to dictate when you engage in combat and have greater combat awareness. I am not upset with it's range, Caldari naturally have longer ranged weapons. What I am upset with is the combination of DPS and range.
Every weapon isn't suppose to fit into a traditional role. Some weapons are niche and the magsec sounds like a logis best friend right now. I may actually skill into one if I can only carry one weapon on my logi. Also, being able to carry a magsec and a light weapon creates a mini commando suit. To me, the magsec is the most interesting weapon because it looks to fit how I fight. Being a logi most of my fights are at the edge of short and medium range and I usually fire only to help drop a red or draw fire while my killers reload. The more I think about it the more I think it will be my new weapon of choice simply for the range.

On a side note I think we can all agree the ion pistol sounds like garbage.
Also looking at the dev blog, the bolt pistol and mag sec smg look horrible. Ugly little guns. I hope they have back up designs based on the rail rifle. |

Please Gal tech with the AR was thy only real weapon in the game for the longest time with zero balance against anything else, if fact it competed with itself in its variants for the longest time, as a trade off shields was much better than armor for a long time.
AR superiority outlasted shield superiority as armor becomes the new and best form of defense, cal logis gets nerfed and the rise of the gal logi commences, the dropsuit imbalance hasn't changed even now. The AR gets its first challenge with the ScR, but still holds itself up due to its hitscan mechanics.
Ar's histscan hegemony get its first real competitors with the introduction of two new hitscan rifles which just came in last patch. One or two recent weapons is what you describe as favoritism, which still was not as broken as things we had in the past.
Essentially all of beta was offensively in favor of the gals, and half of uprising was favored offensively and defensively in favor of gallente. Those are very large windows to label oneself as part of a non favorite group.
Now in regards to the topic, all I know if you guys are looking for another damage nerf to the magsec (yes it got one already with the new numbers in the dev blog to align it with the other light/side hitscan weapons), just make sure the cpu/pg matches it power because its fitting cost is about that of the RR.
