it seems that most peoples complaint with the hmg is range, the hmg alone does not have all that good of range. People that know what they are doing will skill into the sharpshooter to make all these tears possible. Either lessen the increase that sharpshooter gives per level, or slightly decrease the base range. Sniper rifles are the last weapon that need a buff, they are already overused as it is (and used pathetically in most cases) . Most of the people who retreat to sniping when losing would fair better by running on the ground and getting better. Most of these turds use their free sniper fit anyway. Buffing the sniper would create more snipers, not cool.
