with the limited time scope and RNG, i didn't necessarily have time to basically reverse spreadsheet the game.

but, there was one major standout Weapon type that seemed to have no place. the Model 700 Marksman Rifle.
comparing to a few DMR's as well as a few other Marksman Rifles....what reason would a Player have to ever use it? it dealt the same at best Damage(but seemingly less) as any other Marksman Rifle, but also had the slowest Reloading of any that i found during the Private Beta, PLUS also had pretty bad Optimal Range.

if one was going to use a Marksman Rifle that was kindof clunky to use, wouldn't they need and want to get something out of it to consider using it at all? i would think so.



i'd certainly understand if you didn't want it to deal significantly more Damage as to destabilize things. okay. but it still has to have something positive about it.
but in such a situation, it should at the very least have excellent Optimal Range, excellent Stability, it's gotta have something, you know?
