After leveling this to 30 and polarizing, I must say that a lot of you people that complain about one drawback or the other, simply expect to be able to handle every weapon in the same manner, instead of adapting to the weapon itself. And no, there is nothing dis-functional regarding the mechanics, you're just not competent enough to realize it.

I should also add, too many people do not even try to make every shot count and realize the most optimal way to achieve this with a particular weapon (especially judging by the 30% average accuracy score I always see when I join people for a match). As for those who complain about ammo efficiency, will you care to explain why I only ran out of ammo with this the first time I used it? I've used this rifle throughout entire invasion missions and not used anything else, and I haven't run out of ammo (and no, didn't use ammo mutation or ammo consumables, and I was alone so I had to kill everything myself). If you're unable to properly manage ammo consumption, you need to stop spraying. Seriously. Use short bursts and count the number of rounds it takes you to kill something with your particular weapon setup, so that you always fire that same number of rounds every time you pull the trigger after properly aiming (unless the situation requires you to fire more rounds).

At close range, you can use this rifle like a minigun without spin-up time. It IS very accurate and stable, and if you do require to improve the stability, there's a mod that you can use for that. When engaging enemies at longer range, then you use the tracer, or when you'd rather shoot them from behind cover.

You can also maximize your ammo efficiency if you use mods that add penetration, so you can tag an enemy that is farther away, while you shoot through a nearby enemy, hence killing both in the process.

User mistakes can and will happen with any weapon, but if you're complaining about going through the whole clip while trying to tag an enemy, that's not the weapon's fault. It's yours.
