so the answer is use the last word because the thorn is OP? and yeah if your facing scout rifles which dominate long range then yeah I can see you not doing very well and especially if you spraying. Remember however scout rifles were not always this good and the last word used to be even better, which is why I included in my topic that the last word has range. It still does just not as much, and yeah standing a good distance away and facing a scout user isn't something a player should do. Besides the last word kills people in 2 headshots if i'm remembering correctly. I say this because i've seen 111 criticals with that last word myself and that's aiming down the sights. So that makes the gun a two shot. Even if speaking hypothetically that it is a 3 shot headshot, like you stated above, the gun is so fast it's so easy to get 3 shots off before almost any other type of gun gets three shots off with the same amount of potential damage. Besides the comment about spraying the rounds makes the gun not op, that paired with only 8 rounds isn't a good reason to claim it's not op. Yeah if you spray any gun your probably gonna miss and therefore not think highly of yourself or that gun. Personally 8 round is enough to kill 2 players and I don't think that is a problem at all because when I used the last word typically all the people near me were dead when I was reloading that weapon. thats because i killed them very fast....it is the last word after all
