Once the overlord of the CQC world that destroyed AR users, HMG users, and managed to annihilate Shotgun users before they even got close the Assault SMG is a wretched, drunkard of its former self. Though, it is still potent except not where most people wish it was.
The Assault SMG was actually developed by the Ishukone Corporation, a Caldari enterprise. This is important to note because it means it has the best range of all the SMG's, and oddly enough the highest fire rate.
Though, for some reason or another this SMG is TERRIBLE when fired off the hip. Shots seem to fly everywhere except where your aiming. Some would argue that this is a reason to buff it because it fails at being good at spraying people in the face which is what SMG's are supposed to do.
Others will argue that when aimed down sight the SMG is as potent as any AR or Combat Rifle. If there is distance enough between you and your target then this weapon will kill them as if you are throwing mini chain saws at their neck. Though this range is small and very specific.
So does the Assault SMG need a buff because its good range interval is small and it's hipfire is terrible?
Or should it stay where it is because in the right hands it rivals the AR?
I'm split. When I use it as my back up weapon for point blank fighting it is terrible. Yet when I use it on my Swarm Launcher class as my primary infantry weapon it seems excellent at a distance.
So is it a fail or is it decent?

Not going to lie, I havent touched it once since the change. This is mainly because everyone talked about how amazing the breach was, so I started using it and never stopped. I continue to use the breach due to its potency and how quickly the asmg would drain its clip, which isnt something im a fan of. I imagine at the very least it isnt balanced properly with the breach and maybe even the regular one.

it could stand to be buffed a bit perhaps some extra range as you say it was made by a Caldari corporation and the Caldari weaponry is known for its good range but high kick especially when hip firing

Ok, but how to buff it so to not make the Magsec obsolete?
Wait, the Breach already has comparable range to the Magsec.

I'm certain that the MagSec has a higher range. I also believe that the Breach SMG and standard SMG have the same exact range. Anyways, the biggest issue with the MagSec is the glitch where it won't do any damage at all.

the magsec excels at hip firing, making the assault hmg have a little more hip fire spread would make it so you could only use it extremely up close or while ADS

The Assault SMG is pretty awesome to use in a last ditch hallway / corridor "last stand" in close quarters but the small bit of experience I had with it after the changes left me feeling that the weapon was a little too weak now and way too specific in its pros and cons.
The breach is a lot more user friendly.

I personally think it's good. Although I always use the boundless breach, I like that it shoots really fast. You can quickly kill anyone. In terms of ammo and range and stuff, it being a sidearm means you should mostly use it when you're out of ammo on your main. So enemy has low health anyways.

Well, before the change all of its stats were the same as the regular SMG except it had a greater rate of fire. Don't remember the range difference if it had any.
