ok let me say first that i still use NLB beacuse i have fun useing it, plain and simple. that being said the bolt action is a pain to use, think about any other sniper wich can fire off 4 rounds in quick succesion. i dont think that finding some way to buff this is going to cause balance issues just based on the above. now im not saying that this should be the best wepon beacuse I dont want christmas noobs useing my gun, lol. ive seen some good sugestions and some bad ones so i wont repeat shit that has been said but i will submit this post to the growing list of complaints you guys seem to be getting...ha. whatever happens itll still be a fav of mine beacuse i have fun useing it like i said, happy new year
