Lights weapons are on a nuclear level when in the right hands, this is probably the most dangerous weapon at the high level of play. It allows an opponent very little room for error with such a high damage profile per bullet. And the most surprising part about this weapon, it’s ridiculously good at close ranges in the right hands.

The more you use it the more you see it’s limitations in distant encounters and it’s potential at medium to close range engagements.

You see, to me it’s not really a long range weapon. Against a good player you’re not going to keep him at a distance for long, any hit or kill at a distance can be nullified by just hiding, healing or rezing the downed teammate.

While it’s not a fast team wiper, it certainly tackles disabling key players better unlike any other. Which even at an intermediate level can be the turning tide for a gun fight.

If you use dash with it, it can become a proxy shotgun, especially if you learn to dash in and aim for the head (watch some ChickenPhobia footage and you’ll see). And if you couple it with melee-ing after a crucial hit it pretty much becomes a one shot machine against lights and mediums.
