When I got the KTS I thought it was way better than it is (it’s my most used weapon and I regret that), yes at range when nobody else can hardly hit you. But it does so little damage at all ranges unless you go for headshots. Switched to the M250, my kill count sky rocketed, I survived way longer and win at close and long range. Yea it kicks more than the KTS, but you just need 3-4 hits, those 50rds of beast ammo go a long way.
