...and herein lies the problem.
This is a squad based game, and like it or not if you're any good you're moving with at LEAST one other person (buddy system).
In that instance, each of you fires twice and takes down anything but a heavy... or a CalLogi. Three times (less than a second of fire for most... even without a turbo effect) and even the heaviest heavy is almost dead, If not picking his deployment, completely bled out.
Now, let's assume there are three or four people moving together. At this point, it becomes nearly impossible to accomplish anything against this threat, as by the time you're targeted you're eliminated.
This may be a 'fun' weapon for the lone wolf/run & gun player... which is fine. When it's combined with squad tactics it becomes (essentially) unstoppable.
Now that squads can be up to SIX people, at bare minimum that's 420+ damage PER SHOT going out.
Without giving dropsuits final fantasy hit points, there's simply no way to compete with that output. Not to mention you're dead more often than not before even getting into range to return fire.
Assuming you are not also using a TAR as well. |

1v1... perhaps I see your point. See above. If you're moving solo in a game of Dust... odds are you're not doing it right. You're the bluedot we rage over at the end of every match. There are of course exceptions (good snipers, nova knifers (who should be ahead of the group... not really solo) and of course various opportunities to hack sneaky objectives AWAY from the front line).

Oh... forgive me, didn't see that you were a moron. Carry on genius. |

If you're (going) to have issues with TTK in close quarters... pick up a CQC weapon.
Incidentally, my pistol headshots roughly 15-20% of the time.
Which reminds me... you DO aim right? Or has your TAC spoiled you with hip fire? |
