Consider this the 10k special. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Do you disagree with my rankings? Think something should be higher or lower? You can talk to me in my Discord or leave a comment about why you think something should be higher/lower. Did your favourite weapon get its deserved rating?

Fab pistol is op asf. I've been accused of ambit like 16 times because I use them. The 11 shots from it do the same dmg as a fab sniper with the same dmg. They don't have sway like a fabi does when sniping. Can shoot auto and reloads in like 0.5 seconds. Ammo is SOOOOO much cheaper. Also it doesn't have a pull out time like with fab snipers, you can just pull out one after the other. I think it should be without a doubt S tier
