I noticed you killed a TR player called “FeetPicsForPrimogems” and I couldn’t stifle my laugh. Absolutely golden name.

[@lukmaanpratomo6866]

Genshin Impact gacha hopeful? 😂😂

[@superbrain3848]

Blitz is a interestening weapon for light Assaults, its still quite accurate while being in the Air, making it still quite leathal to everyone who hopes for a quick and easy kill.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Definitely a fun little piece for a couple of situations, without a doubt!

[@grazzer88]

The Blitz is just a shit version of the GD-7F carbine which sports an amazing in flight accuracy stat as well. They have the same RPM, but the carbine is more accurate, does more damage, has better range, has less recoil, has a faster long reload by half a second (but longer short reload by 0.2s) and has a faster equip time. Yeah the Blitz has more ammo, but that doesn't help when you're dead because you got out DPS'd.

[@bananaboye3759]

@@grazzer88 That's true, but you can't run the GD-7F as a secondary

[@monnco7554]

In my quest to auraxium 5 TR assault rifles I’ve come to absolutely love the sabr-13. I’m amazingly effective with it in both cqc and longer range engagements. I can only recommend others to try it.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Right?! Seriously such a fun little weapon for so many different situations.

[@tranvinhnhat1289]

I actually enjoyed it.

[@BimmWPBS]

I love my Sabr-13 its a bit hard to handle in close quarters but I bought a shotgun for close encounters

[@RandomBeing]

so basically all guns that arent NC on this list are 167..HMM BIG THINKS

[@CAMIKAZE78]

I shan't comment on that... My NC heritage is very much showing I think.

[@AokiZeto]

@@CAMIKAZE78 its normal to be a lil bit biased in that matter, plus u said its ur personal top so no biggie there. plus flare IS underated among vs so i forgive u xD

[@AeciusthePhilosopher]

The SABR is a great gun indeed. People seem to forget that with the right trigger discipline burst fire weapons can be almost indistinguishable from fully automatic ones, but a lot more accurate thanks to the reduced kick on the first shot. Sure it's not meant to go into close quarters, but I find it holds its own there just fine, and honestly it's one of the reasons I'm disappointed there are no burst-fire LMGs.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

It's a weapon that truly carries some awesome potential, and I wanted to shine it in the spotlight in the video for that exact reason. Hope you enjoyed the video chief!

[@nttea]

tmg-50 has burst fire

[@austinkamp8048]

Tross is my favorite AR and I think more underrated than the Carnage. Carnage is basically a slightly upgraded cycler, which is already a great gun

[@Antartikz]

Every one of those TR weapons has a place in my heart too. Great picks!

[@Keniyukips2]

Very smooth! good job bro! Will try this load out for my next vid!!

[@shinkartz2636]

The GD-22S is the weapon equivalent of your lover/friend/pet that will guarantee a hearty hug when things are bad. It will never betray you and will carry you as best as it can. And that's only when things are bad, don't get me started when things are great. Cami, do you think you could ever do the overrated/bad weapons list next? The sort of guns which you just can't stand, personally? Just a suggestion. Edit: Forgot to mention. There is one more category of weapons which I learned to very much enjoy - Semi-Auto Sniper Rifles. If you don't use them as BASR, but glorified Battle Rifles, especially in chokes, they become scary as hell.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Man the GD-22S was probably one of the weapons that kept me interested in this game while I struggled through the start. In saying that, that is a video that I actually already have in the planning, so great minds think alike!

[@nightlockraven3587]

I think it was quite slow to be honest and La1 anchor and M6 were a lot better

[@1squeamishneophyte]

Exactly man, well put. it has greater versatility than the anchor, to the extent that no matter what the situation, it will perform admirably. Even the small mag isn't an issue like it is with guns like the msw-r and the orion because of its great-in-class reload speed. It's got more muzzle velocity than even the gauss saw by default (although not if the saw is running hva which it can't) and its recoil is so controllable that even with a laser sight it still does just fine at longer ranges and the laser sight tightens down its hipfire cone just enough that it can be used in that role reliably. It's simply a weapon that you can't go wrong using, regardless of the situation. Glad that they made it the stock lmg for NC HA's. I feel like it even serves well in that role as "training wheels" of sorts for players to get into weapons like the godsaw because of it resides in the same general low rpm/high damage per shot niche as the godsaw.

[@GWRaynor]

While I agree with most of this list, I have to give a big +1 to the Cougar. Coming from NC and VS, the TR carbines were far too jumpy and erratic for my liking. I struggled for months to find a groove with any of them, even the "meta" carbines like the Jaguar and Kindred that people always praised. I was on the verge of giving up and settling on the NS-11C. Then I tried the Cougar. It was like Papa Vanu and the NC Suits had heard my prayers, and they delivered upon me a TR carbine that actually shoots bullets where the crosshair is pointing, while also doing damage beyond 20m. It hit all of the sweet spots that the other TR carbines were missing (both figuratively and literally). The Cougar made engineer and light assault playable for me on the TR, so it will always be my favorite TR carbine.

[@Shadowhawkdark]

So basically a majority of the list is all the weapons that are non-conforming to the emphasis of their faction. All of NC's non-167 weapons, and all of non-NC's 167 weapons.

[@wickedfuctup]

I play VS exclusively and the Flare was the first LMG I auraxed. It's like the a Pulsar C in LMG form as far as fire rate and landing shots with proper fire rate pattern. Great at medium long distance and not arm breaking recoil.

[@TankManHeavy]

The VS Sirius on an infiltrator is deadly, you can appear behind someone and mag dump half a clip into someone before they even turn. Also the Horizon with that special attachment, and one I've recently enjoyed is the Pulsar LSW, with the right attachments and a 4x it makes a great mid-range LMG.

[@FantasyDragon14_]

I‘m just working with the Flare (LMG-Directive) and was surprised how fast the orion suddenly is after using flare and pulsar for the last few months

[@nikolajhansen9029]

The Sabr-13 has been my love and curse since I got it a few months ago. A beast at med to long range and for some odd reason, I am most deadly in cqc with the sabr!? Sadly, I lost all skills with the other guns in my arsenal 😢.

Hey man, nothing wrong with veering from the beaten path that is most travelled by the rest of the community! Glad you enjoyed it mate

[@hybridgaming8341]

Nice video. I like to recommend the GD-22S for new players because it's much cheaper, and the fast reload just feels better when you're in a heated skirmish. Also 100% agree about the Carnage - if you want to forget you have a med tool and play as an agressive Medium Assault, then the Carnage is your best bet.

[@RenderMan1337]

I aurax'd the Blitz as my first weapon. I really enjoyed it. I agree it isn't as godlike as the Cyclone, but it's still a fun as hell weapon to just go on sprees with.

By the way, Sabr 13 got buff. 125 to 143.

[@CrenVerdis]

For me... the VX28 Polaris. My first VS LMG I auraxed. The thing is a blast in medium engagements (like the roofs in biolabs) this thing murders everything. The 25 (!!!) meter minimum damage range is INSANE. It's the most consistent weapon I used and it felt like the fastest one for me to aurax (Maybe because of pre campaign biolab farming). It's decent CQC but definitely an underdog there, but still. Special place in my heart.

[@alklomion]

I love terminus and it's sound... that carbine is awesome

You are totally right about the VS weapons. I have used the zenith for a while and I love the gun but people don’t seem to like it much

[@colinl.9361]

I dont think anyone hates it per say, its just a little overlooked because other carbines are objectively more powerful. Then there is also the Horizon, which is considered by many as the best carbine in the game and fills the same role as the Zenith

[@LiquidToast42]

The SABR-13 is one of my favorite assault rifles in the game, both in performance and aesthetics

[@Axehilt]

1. GD-22S. I can't say I _disagree_ with this, since it's a solid performer, but I was personally just never able to make it work as well as SAW or Anchor in their respective roles. 2. SABR-13. Hard agree. Anyone who doesn't know about this weapon's performance for longer-ranged fights is missing out. (And medic works best when played second-line, so there are a lot of fights where you're at that slightly longer range to make use of it.) 3. Flare. Yup, solid all-around generalist LMG! 4. Zenith. Don't think I ever played this one enough to have a strong opinion on it, might give it more of a try now! 5. TMG-50. This was my go-to long-range LMG for my TR chars for years. Granted nowadays we have the NSX Naginata and I don't think the TMG stands up to that if I know I'll be fighting at long range (even though TMG does have slightly better falloff values) 6. Carnage AR. Yeah, this always felt very interchangeable with GR-22 for short-range medic play. Honestly looking at weapon values, Carnage is probably outright better with a 7% worse TTK but an impressive 21% faster reload. Since both weapons have lighting-fast TTKs, "7% worse" really oversells how big a difference it is (~0.03 sec) but the reload really matters for those tight CQC fights. 7. Blitz GD-10. When I was at my best, I strongly felt the mag size advantages of Blitz/Hailstorm/Sirius outweighed the slight TTK disadvantage. Now that I'm a little rusty, it's kind of a wash. 8. Cougar. Rockstar at long range. Weird to compare it with Kindred, since it's more designed for short-mid range (and Cougar for mid-long range) 9. Infil "Battle Rifles" (eg Shadow). Yeah, I love those things! They're a little more flexible than the short-range sniper rifles, and honestly even though you brought up the falloff thing comparing them to battle rifles, they still have superior DPS at all ranges by comparison (while you also get to be an infiltrator). I also enjoyed the infiltrator "carbines" (eg Stalker), but nowadays I think the Tomoe just outright _demolishes_ them if the player is above a certain skill level. The headshot multiplier is just too good, so those old favorites have been shelved. 10. EM6. Yeah agree on it being least underrated. While I mentioned SAW/Anchor earlier, the EM6 was the mid-range option I use when I'm not certain if the fight will consistently be long or short range.

[@0mikronAlpha117]

I love using the NS-44L Showdown. Its not as effective as the Commissioner, but damn does it feel great to secure kills with this thing. I've had some pretty clutch, unexpected kills with it while descending or hovering as a Light Assault.

[@verdtre4573]

I only picked the Zenith up for the directive and coming from having just figured out what a beast the Pulsar C can be i didnt really want to like it. I gave it long range attachments and treated it as a discount Pulsar C. Nonetheless, i was surprised by how quickly i was able to get kills with it and in the end i had slightly better stats with it. I dropped it afterwards cause despite auraxing it i didnt really know when and where id pick it for the job. I went and auraxed the Eclipse, had fun with the Horizon, used Serpent and Pulsar C where theyre strong, but in the end there was something missing. Something reliable. Something undemanding. Something that just works. Turns out the answer to that was the Zenith. Its like i never wanted to like the Zenith, but the Zenith always liked me. Im sorry, little one.

[@wagonranger7388]

Fun fact: The Flare, TMG 50, and Gauss SAW-S (NOT the Gauss SAW) are nearly identical clones of each other, the Flare just has a little less vertical recoil and more horizontal. But sadly the TR doesn't get extended magazine attachment, because who wants more dakka on TR?

[@bells1485]

Well my favorite weapon is Gladius from NC "Hardest SMG hit ever made"

[@nightlockraven3587]

Hell yeah brother 3 sweet headshots with in 10 meters can drop people quick!

[@bells1485]

Yeah mate Infiltrator is so fun using that gun

[@ThankYouForComing]

I'm of the opinion that a lot of burst weapons are actually hidden OP and aren't really mentioned much or complained about often. I think that's because they're often overlooked since the average player isn't going to pick that over something full-auto if given a choice. It's a more niche playstyle but highly rewarding if you can get used to many of those weapons. In specific I think the Vanquisher (NC Assault Rifle) is super strong is you can regularly find heads as well as the Gauss Compact Burst (NC Carbine). I haven't done any deep digs into the burst weapons of the other factions yet. Duuude I just arx'd the Carnage AR, I love that thing! Also during that part of the video when you're using your chat macro, why are only certain options highlighted? The Cougar is badass and I love that gun. Super fun, very underrated. You can kit it out like an Assault Rifle if you want and use it on rooftops as LA. Very underrated indeed. EM6 mention? Antdant4435 is being summoned.

[@xoawolf]

Amaterasu hands down. It's strong in cqc, making for a excellent backup weapon. On top of that it's silent, and has infinite "ammo". The Horizon is also a amazing carbine that I think alot of people take for granted. It has deceptively high damage and kill time while being extremely accurate, a fact that most peeps overlook. Seriously, it has pin point accuracy, even while in the air... yknow that things that light assauts do. =p

[@geryz7549]

What about the Artemis (and no, not the faction equivalents)? When supressed, it makes practically 0 sound while shooting so you can make some really sneaky plays as VS infil, killing your enemies before they even know you're there

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Definitely a fun weapon in the right situation, it is REALLY worth mentioning thanks to it's low sound signature for sure!

[@Captain_Epum]

it seems I'm the only person on Auraxis who uses the NSX-P Tanto

[@BoringBanana]

Nah fam, the Tanto's one of my favorite weapons in the game as well.

[@amirtaj4323]

I'm using to force myself to get better at headshots. I don't think the weapon is good however.

[@MrHocotateFreight]

I'm looking at the vs obelisk, wondering if it's worth investing in a heat gun to mitigate ammo, I tend to live long enough between 2-3 fights to run out in the field as a combat medic, but I don't want to invest in ammo printer a 120 second timer per ammo seems not worth it

[@sashamakeev7547]

255 rpm scouts are left behind because Vandal exists. It has better everything. More ammo in mag. Better hipfire accuracy. 0.75 ads movement. Its just better. The only one of faction specific rifle that i began using is VS Nyx as it has almost no sound and visuals at all when shooting with supressor.

[@elijahduce5323]

My favorite underrated weapon is the NSX Tanto and the NSX Naginata. Zenith VX-5 is a favorite too.

[@ChopSueyyy]

Cougar = LA sniper rifle, change my mind. Also: Supressors on guns that have a minimum damage of 167 are underrated. NC has this huge advantage but not that many people seem to utilize that. Additionally: The T16 Rhino with extended mags basically means an infinite ammo gun without a heat mechanic (i love it).

[@TheKamakaziChimp]

Been a TR main since planetside 1 back in 2003 and my first arurax weapon in PS2 was the AMR-66 *LOL*

[@aquapendulum]

My pick for underrated weapon is the Solstice Burst. You mentioned in this video that the carbine for long-range is the Pulsar C, but I'd argue the Solstice Burst is the real deal for long-range. Its sub-1.0 first-shot multiplier and burst fire mode make this gun feels like a battle rifle, and the zero bullet drop trait of VS guns enables it to be used like an actual battle rifle. Slap on a 3.4x or 4x scope and you're good to go.

[@patrickmurphy6578]

I’d second this, it’s viable(ish) in CQC as long as you don’t spam click your bursts and I’ve gotten many long range kills where I was just taking pot shots with a 2x, not even a 3.4 or 4 as you mentioned

[@dennissinclairsr.7069]

Carnage, TMG-50 and Saber are three of my favorite weapons!

[@nokta7373]

Surprised not to see Reaper DMR in the list. I almost never get killed by one and when I play NC is my absolute favorite AR.

[@Feyyore]

Was surprised the Cycler TRV was not on this list xD

[@wagonranger7388]

GD22S is an amazing gun. I much prefer it over the Anchor.

[@tacticalturtlez4906]

TMG-50 has same mag capacity as NC6S gauss saw s. I feel like that was worth mentioning and wasn’t.

[@snakehead214]

I also learned to love the Bull (tr lmg). Stat wise its not that great but it kinda just works.

[@reap3rofd00m3]

What about the auto scouts? The first time I ever went toe to toe with a MAX as an infiltrator and came out the survivor I used an automatic scout rifle. The SMGs are way more popular and with the tape recorder and the punisher being capable at midrange the auto scouts get overlooked but they're still good and they're cheap. If you want an assault rifle on your infiltrator, I suggest the automatic scout rifle.

[@bananaboye3759]

I would definitely put the Gauss Compact Burst on here. That thing is an absolute laser beam; Its cone of fire is slightly worse than the AC-X11 (only if you're standing still), but the recoil more than makes up for the difference. A full burst from the Gauss Compact produces less kick than the first round out of an AC-X11 or Razor. You can chain headshots at absurd ranges with this gun, but it's not a one-trick pony. It still retains that 167@600 damage model, which is more capable in CQC than the Razor's 167@550 or the AC-X11's 200@500. Oh, and did I mention it has the tightest horizontal tolerance of any automatic weapon in the game?

[@lunarphoenix1011]

Wow that was fast

[@makky-kat3719]

I'm already expecting a salt storm in the comments so I might as well add to it a little: Agree on the SABR-13 but for slightly different reasons. Sure, it's accurate, but the damage output is good if you can use burst weapons well, and the hipfire could be a lot worse. Sure, the way to run it as a marksman's rifle is with the grip, HVA, comp, and 3.4x; but in a case of wrong-build-best-build my favorite setup for it is a laser sight, 2x, and no compensator. (SABR has also been nerfed a few times; or more specifically, the burst weapon changes and AR min damage changes make it less ridiculous than it used to be which might be part of the reason it's underrated.) I think the TMG-50 is a good weapon, but considering the number of my TR friends that either run it as their main LMG or pick it up for anything resembling ranged combat I'm not sure I'd call it underrated. It's just that the TR have so many pretty good LMGs that it's not exactly META. Didn't know the Carnage had a .75ADS. I'll be buying that on my NC now. I think the main problem with the Zenith and Cougar are, respectively, the Jaguar and Pulsar C. Not that they're bad, but another gun on another faction just does it better. Granted, a slightly worse Pulsar C is still a pretty good carbine, so hard agree on that. Also suprised not to see the CME on the list, which I think gets overshadowed by the NS-11A with the same damage model and .75ADS.

[@grazzer88]

The Blitz is underrated because it's just not competitive even against other non-meta weapons. I mean, you already said that it will always be second best to the Cyclone which is absolutely true, but the GD-7F carbine is a straight up upgrade to the Blitz. It has the same RPM, It deals more damage and has better range despite having less recoil, It's more accurate and has a faster equip time. It also has a faster long reload by half a second and for light assaults it has an amazing in flight accuracy. Unless you're playing infil and can't equip carbines (in which case you'll want the meta Cyclone at your side) the GD-7F is a no-brainer because it's just better in all areas except short reload (by 0.2s) and magazine capacity (which is moot if you're dead before you can exhaust it). When ever i run the Blitz i always find it just doesn't have decent stopping power, with enemies doing 180's and dropping me before the pea shooter can even chip away at their shields in spite of shooting them in the back of the head inside of 50m.

ok here me out NS yumi, It has the charge up but if your smart thats no problem. With it's damage and versatility it's fun.

tmg50 is a good gun regardless of faction. it's just solid

[@reap3rofd00m3]

the T5-AMP and the TRAX

Good oL cougar that shit is OP

You aren't wrong mate... being completely honest. Appreciate it boss!

[@pinorska6316]

You really seem to like that 167/577 damage model

[@MrTBSC]

can´t blame him for wanting to throw good punches

[@EcchiRevenge]

sabr13 definitely isn't underrated now with angled foregrip + compensator (lolwhererecoil) plus the further tightening of horizontal recoil(can only jump twice in one direction now without variable intensity). Shame about tmg-50 though(can jump 3 times per side, moving cof bloom implies it should be used at closer ranges - but TR already has plenty of good close range LMGs such as watchman/carv/mswr). Newly buffed carv-s, though, is excellent(at range).

[@megar_potato859]

a stroke of the emperors wisdom

[@mrowoofers101]

If I had a dollar for everytime I saw Cami defended the SABR-13 on stream and used it to prove his point... I probably should at least be able to get myself a meal from McDonald's. Edit: I love the HC-1 Cougar. The Kindred definitely overshadows it and straight-up outperforms it 99% of the time thanks to the high initial firerate, and heck, they even cost the same price. But, the HC-1 just (for some reason) reminds me of an AKM or a SCAR-H due to its slow firerate and hard hitting rounds while still looking like a conventional assault rifle/carbine. I also like how it's one of the few carbines that actually possesses a stock. I must ask after saying all this though, assuming that we can agree that the Cougar could do with a buff/rework, how should we do it? The key is to make the gun relevant without making others redundant. The competition being the T5 AMC and the Kindred itself. Any opinions from anyone?

[@TheOblomoff]

Oh yes, my favourite, the Flare! What I find fascinating is that there are no strictly bad weapons on auraxis.

[@bencekeomley-horvath385]

My first weapon auraxed ever in this game. In 2013 April

[@colinl.9361]

"no strictly bad weapons on auraxis." Have you used the TRAP? Magscatter? Charger? Arbalest? Hailstorm? AMP? And of course... the Flaregun?

[@TheOblomoff]

[@tulisotilas]

The shotgun sidearm is not bad. It is kindly telling you to reload your rifle, if the enemy is not in your face though.

[@antistream]

In my opinion, underrated gun is a faction specific gun which user skips for NS universal analogue. Good example would be AF-18 Stalker (and other 2 factions auto scouts which are exactly same) being underrated over NSX Tomoe. Both rifles are sitting in automatic scout rifle category and both are highly dependant from users ability to hit heads. But in Tomoe situation user just needs to crouch before shooting and he will receive tremendous accuracy buff. AF-18 Stalker despite bigger damage per bullet still needs same 4 headshots to kill a standard 1000hp target with no resists as Tomoe but Tomoe has insane accuracy compared to Stalker... Well, i guess the answer is obvious - 99 times of 100 user will choose Tomoe over Stalker...

[@patrickmurphy6578]

At least in my opinion I would take the auto scout rifle over the tomoe any day, I tríaled the tomoe and I didn’t really like it too much

[@antistream]

@@patrickmurphy6578 i dunno, it feels like something missing on faction specific auto scout rifles... with 167 dpr damage model and slightly lower fire rate (650 changed to 600) the weapon could stay on same DPS but would require 3 headshots to kill a thing rather than 4... seriously, the weapon description says that this weapon type designed for much closer ranges department than sniper rifles so why not amplify that with 3 headshot kill pattern?

[@mkiesche]

But isn't the ns 15 better in matter of laser beam play than the gd 22s.

[@B-U-T-C-H-E-R]

I like the hv45

[@aquapendulum]

The whole high-RPM category is underrated in general. These things enable you to hold choke points and provide suppressive fire as a light assault or medic or engineer.

[@MachinedFace88ttv]

What's with the high FOV wall hack??

[@petrpinc7695]

When I asked in outfit chat, if I should pick EM6 or EM1, noone sayed yes for EM1. People actually discouraged me from playing EM1. Other than GaussSaw and Anchor, I also get teamkilled by EM6 more than EM1, so it doesn't seem to me EM6 is underrated, quite the opposite.

[@MrTBSC]

and i said "screw you guys i´ll get me the EM1"

[@louchedecay7922]

I think the EM6 just gets forgotten when put up against the gauss saw, anchor, and gd22. I ran it suppressed for a while and found it to be a great all around NC lmg.

[@colinl.9361]

Yeah but em1 isn't underrated, its just bad. (Or at least worse than other options). The em6 is underrated because it is often overlooked while still being a great weapon

[@porten1277]

Nice

[@TotallyNotAFox]

GD-22S, TMG-50 and Cougar underrated? There are lot of people running around with them. What about the T32 Bull, a LMG that has the best accuracy out of the TR arsenal?

[@colinl.9361]

IMO, those three guns are "underrated" because while being great weapons, they are often forgotten. The Bull is forgotten for a reason, it doesn't offer anything more useful than its fellow TR lmg's. The NS-15 is more accurate, the TMG is better for sustained fire, and the Carv fills the same role with a better damage model.

[@HelixJazz]

@@colinl.9361 The Bull is actually more accurate than the NS-15. In fact the Bull is better than the NS-15 at everything except reload speed and ADS movement.

[@marcinzysko1653]

phaseshift would be there as well

[@MrTBSC]

i could imagine the phaseshift loosing in favor because of the obelisk but it´s still a lethal sniperrifle i would say .. i definetively plan to get it as my last infantrywapon after getting me the swarm for my HA ..

[@Kevin-kf9ct]

@@MrTBSC Phaseshift is sneaky as there's no bullet drop. Although the damage model drops off quite rapidly with body shots you can get some insane laser-like long distance headshot kills with it even when running a suppressor. Pair with the coldheart implant and it's possibly the most fun all-round sniper in the game.

[@tac6557]

Whats your FOV?

[@isimiel3405]

VE-C Horizon I never see anyone else with it yet most of my kills are with it

[@cheancey]

Crazy good. I use it over the directive carbine.

[@colinl.9361]

It is considered by many to be the best carbine in the game. I see quite a few people with it, might just be coincidence that you haven't.

[@aquapendulum]

Insanely cool carbine, has high skill ceiling, but sadly it typically can only engage 1 enemy per reload.

[@colinl.9361]

@@aquapendulum With a 167/600 damage model and perfect accuracy, it can certainly do 2-3 kills per magazine with headshots. Even so, you're right that 1 kill per is more common. It also has a really fast reload though so I've never really had any issues with taking on multiple people

[@cheancey]

@@colinl.9361 I mainly play VS, but it’s sat on by most. You probably notice it because your killed by it a lot; it’s good.
