DUST Search - SMGS scout viable?

1) Is it viable? When I mean viable, is it something that can be effective at the highest levels of competition? If so, how well do you do? Do you always have to engage someone from behind to win? Or can you and the enemy see each other come from cover at the same time, and you still have a good chance of winning said engagement, or is running necessary?

2) Where does the smg win? For example, up close vs. AR user? Mass driver user? Is there a range where it has advantage over shotgun? Does it require high levels of sidearm sharpshooter to gain said advantage? Is this considering the enemy also has the same level of sharpshooter range too?

3) Is it not viable, thus why it's a sidearm? Lol

4) Does it do better in a certain game mode? Better in skirmish? Better in ambush? If good in ambush, how many kills do you average? I ask this to judge how many encounters a player is having while using smg's to relate to playstyle. Also if reporting kills keep in mind I am asking for smg kills, not grenades or remote explosives as these can be used with any build.

5) If you are breasting with smg's, which smg's get the job done? What lvl of weaponry do you have as well as smg operation and proficiency?

I have seen the dual smg vid, seems more like an exception rather than a new discovery.

Thank you in advance to anyone taking the time to read/respond to my post /questions.

Dray~ 1) well yes it can work but it works mostly like scoutgun scouts. 2)if you plan on doing it go for shields and you CAN win vs HGM, AR's, most MD user, lasers, FG, snipers in close range. btw its a sidearm so sp for it cheaper on the sp to skill it up but the range is close to shotguns so while you can out range them slightly and still do ok damage they are going to be a hard enemy but could come out with a win. 3) its a sidearm becuase its small like the pistol thats it and trust me they both are viable at close ranges 4)skirmish it usually does better, range is not friendly with ambush matches in most maps plus the enemy is most scattered so easier for close range 1VS1s 5) i use the assault smg as best friend, some might tell you the breach is better due to damage per clip but damage per second is better plus breach has less range then normal while assault has more range. weaponry 5 smg op 2 usaully 35% of my kills are smg kills per match but would suggest maxing them out if you plan on using them as your main weapon.
