The problem is missing one shot is devastating for a high impact auto, and using them in the intended range means your going against bullet hoses and special weapons that are far more forgiving, so you're pretty screwed unless you have godly aim 100% of the time on headshots. I get they dont want to super buff them meaning a skilled hand will be ridiculous but...why not? A skilled player should be rewarded and a major gripe I have with their patch decisions some times
