Just looking for everyone elses opinion on this.
In my opinion it is too easy to use, overpowered and accurate. It has 30 bullets in a clip making it easy to spray and pray with. It is very accurate from the hip and at close to medium range. Just watch in pub you will see a extremely shit players get MVP because of the STG. I think it should be removed to encourage the use of other lesser powered weapons and other guns that actually take skill. Its pretty shit trying to use a bolt action iron sight and walking around the corner, you miss your shot. then you get sprayed by up to 30 bullets(NO CHANCE). Personally I think its very similar to the P90. I was surprised that it was not removed when the MP40 was.
At the moment id say 2 - 3 players on each team use the STG in MOST clans, sometimes more. I think it would make clan matches more competitive and it would make some clans realise how bad they are. Without the STG some players would be nothing.
Here is a comparison to another rifle:
Gewehr 43 = 2 bullet kill
STG 44 = 2 - 3 (stand to be corrected)
STG vs Gewehr 43 hip fire = STG win
STG vs Gewehr 43 close range = STG win
STG vs Gewehr 43 medium range = 50/50
STG vs Gewehr 43 long range = 20/80 (gewehr will win unless your shit)
Also why are some of the other pistols not allowed? Sure the magnum should not be there. But some of the others aren't too bad.
These are just my opinions so don't rip the sh*t out of me.
Thanks
