Ever since they were nerfed I feel violated. Give us back our splash damage to try and offset the never ending amount of snipers you have created this past hotfix.
Is this the time I start whining and begging for a Respect. Don't nerf my gun gun gun. You didn't provide any actual reason or numbers as to why FG's need their blast radius back. "Feeling violated" does not entitle you to a buff.
Light and sidearms have had a balancing pass. Heavy weapons will eventually have their day. If you want to positively effect the outcome of that balancing pass then provide some quantifiable evidence as to why the FG needs a buff, because from where I am sitting it is a fairly balanced weapon.

If CCP nerfs or buffs something it is due to seeing that module / dropsuit / weapon vastly outperforming other modules / dropsuits / weapons in one or more areas. Either that, or an aspect of a module / dropsuit / weapon was not within its role.
Blast radius benefits anti-infantry combat. Vehicles are larger targets so worrying about missing them by a meter is not that much of a concern. I believe this is why FG's lost their blast radius; it was not meant to be an anti-infantry weapon, it is an AV weapon.
That being said, the assault forge gun retained its blast radius. What is keeping you from using that variant?

The inability to hold the charge can be easy to get used to. My assault FG fittings always have a decent sidearm just in case some scout decides to be brave.
