Amen brother! I love this weapon to the core. Last week was the first full week where I've grinded for Iron Banner rep. I started off using oversoul edict, red death, and my old favorite, MIDA Multi-tool; however, I got bored of doing good with these guns so I started off using auto rifles. When I finally did get this gun, it was by far my favorite AR of all (I don't have SUROS btw). The weapon pulls straight up, making it much easier to control than Atheon's. Just strap on a sniper rifle for ranged shots and your good to go (personally, I use patience and time, but the VoG one is just as good.) I even love it in PVE as it will shut down enemies (when the "angry" modifier isn't on.) There is nothing more entertaining than seeing a cabal do a death dance before his head explodes. Sure, this weapon does poorly against tier 2 mobs; however, that's what your secondaries and heavies are for anyways. To all the AR haters out there, keep in mind that using an AR is an art, especially with extremely fast firing weapons like Silimar's or Atheon's; however, once you can master it, they can be extremely effective!
