What do you think of it?
I for one love it, but find it's kick to be downright insane. I tried to use it as my main weapon on my Amarr Scout, but the spool up time gets me killed from time to time, or the kick also causes my shots to miss and gets me killed.
I could list the ways how we Amarr are better than you, but your lesser mind wouldn't comprehend it.

Skill bonus is not applying to the weapon apparently. So the kick will most likely correct itself after a hotfix

I can't stand the thing, to much kick, too long a charge time, not accurate enough for my liking. Still it hits like a truck when you get shots on and the sound is beastly!
But I much prefer my bolt pistol, hits like a friggin space station. Its justma shame my minmatar bonus only applies to Minmatar weapons, an extra 2-3 shots would make that weapon.

I'm very fond of it, as you say the kick does seem a bit extreme at times but it leads me to fire in bursts of 3 to 5 shots when engaging targets at range. I mostly run an AV FG heavy so the Magsec fits nicely as a PDW allowing me to run with the squad more effectively and provide cover fire better than previous builds. However it is still a secondary weapon with below average range, damage and a long spool up time compared to primary weapons so it seems pretty balanced to me.

It is Caldari tech and everything Caldari tech has to be awesome! Oh, I use a Madrugar tank. Why do you ask?...
Going serious, I actually like Rail Rifle / Magsec on my Assault. The biggest thing I can say about them is that they "feel good to shoot." It feels like it is a real weapon with the sound and visuals on it firing. The Plasma Rifle feels more like a toy to me rather than an actual weapon, same with the SMG. Nothing against those weapons, just that Rail and Magsec actually feel awesome.
The kick is pretty extreme but I only have a single point in the skill so I can't really judge it.

When dual post-1.8 ScPs weren't cutting it in my clunky Commando suit, I switched the assault/burst ScP out for a STD aurum magsec with some of the leftover AUR I had.
I like it. Good range, some solid damage (except against shields, it seems like, but I don't know if it's just ****-poor damage, hit detection, or operator error), and even has a zoom for ADS (for whatever reason).

I haven't used it extensively because Infamous: second Son is so much better than Dust, however, the couple matches I used it I like it a lot. As someone who is used to the rail rifle I don't find the Magsec kick to be too bad or its charge up time to be long at all.

Agree 100%. To me it just feels brutal and is great fun. Yes it has range but with that kick, even at level 5, it will take a skilled shooter to fully utilise it.
In the interest of full disclosure, I have only played an hour or so with it on patch day.

I love it its my baby. I really enjoy the kick! It makes it feel like its got some power behind it and makes it challenging to ads and hit far away targets, I don't think that should change. The spool up is really cool, love the Spinny bit! The reload is also awesome I don't know why I have to **** it on the right side though.
The only issue I'm having is sometimes when I switch to it and hold the trigger nothing happens, no spool, nothing. It takes like two or three tries to get it to spool and start firing. I've died quite a bit in my cal scout because of that. Otherwise, she is my baby and I love her, think I'll call her Maggie |

Made my 1000ehp commando get shredded by another magsec scout in CQB and made me look like complete ****, like I didn't even know how to pull the trigger.
Other than that, a good weapon.

I use it on my Amarr scout light assault fit with the viziam scp and like you, I'm guessing you are stuck on just the std magsec lol. My e war ninja fit is an scp with knives, both with cloak and uplink. I put two enh sidearm damage mods on the light assault fit.

As a ARR user, the Magsec came naturally, and I'm encouraged to read they are going to fix the sharpshooter skill to reduce kick.
Now if I could only find a way to reduce the kick on it's bigger brother, the Ishukone Assault RR, we'd really be getting somewhere!
But really, over time, you get used to it and can compensate -- but I sure would love a skill to reduce it on the RR.

I'm glad it's not OP as it looked before it came out. The kick and the ADS make this a sidearm, which is nice. In CQC is very powerful.
I'm not sure if the silencer is there and it just doesn't show in the first person view or it's supposed to come in a future variant. |

Out of curiosity, how often do you guys use the charge shot? I've one shotted a couple caldari medium frames that I can only imagine were MLT/BPO. It's risky but so satisfying so I keep trying to get the charge OHK haha. |

It feels like a regular SMG with more range and harder hitting bullets. Charge up time is negligible unless your using it in close quarters as a finisher weapon.
Honestly have to say this was the most disappointing new weapon in 1.8 for me. It feels so similar to the SMG that it's boring.
I've been told that people prefer fake smiles over the honest expressions of their fellow men. : )

I've used it I don't like it but here's my opinion
Hate the charge time keeps getting me killed when I tried it If you do actually shot it people become Swiss cheese The recoil is that bad (ever heard of aiming while firing you idiots that complain? Seriously just nudge you joystick down while firing)
No proto in public matches!!

It complements my name via knives rather pleasantly. Once the kick bug is fixed, it'll be my favorite sidearm. Only downside is the kick limits its usefulness at its optimal range, but again, that will be fixed in a patch.
As far as charge time, your scout should have the advantage if you properly utilize flanking and the cloak. If you get in a firefight your first priority should be escape, not fighting back.
Best PVE idea I've seen.
