Actually, I noticed that sometimes the "Reactive Reload" ability on this gun doesn't work. Of course, if it did, then it really would be OP. If you notice, GentlEman, the Shingen doesn't excel at long-range combat and actually can be a bit awkward at close range, too. I've been destroyed at range by scout rifle users more times than I wish to count. Plus, that awesome damage output only applies if you can get a steady stream of head shots. So I think it's balanced.

If it were truly balanced then we wouldn't see SOOO many people using it. A good 80% or more of the people in any given crucible match are using this weapon. That isn't balanced. It's almost become a defacto requirement to pvp in this beta. Hopefully it'll be fixed by release.

The thing is those people usually get in the proper range for it.wich is a pretty standard range. But if you try to take cqc on a shotgun or a FR you dead. Long Range a Scout 2-3 head shots and you drop.
