weapons u brought into regular pvp didn't take damage/attack points into account. only dependent on rate of fire, impact, stability, recoil, mag size etc, those other stats, all the weapons were standardised when in regular pvp, but i think it may have mattered in iron banner. with that in mind, when in comparison to other weapons in regular pvp it was a little op, not in the rate of fire and impact categories, they were normal for an auto rifle, but in the stability and range categories, it was far to stable and had too little recoil for a typical auto rifle as it regularly seen to outclass pulse and scout rifles in pvp battles at mid-long range, thats why people think its op in pvp. in PvE no one's got any probs with it.
