this original poster is the the troll who posted the below when i posted "only if this thing was hitscan and it would make it somewhat viable" :

[[Saying, "only if this was hitscan...", is like making the same statement about Paris. Not having hitscan is not simply a disadvantage (I suppose it is for people who can't aim or predict at all...), it allows new options to approach enemies. It allows for twitch shots, and around corner shots.It allows you to not be stationary as with a normal rifle (vulkar, snipertron), and it makes strafe shots way easier to land. It is infact what makes the seer viable close range and allows it to be shot without zoom just as effectively as with zoom. It is a distinct advantage from traditional hitscan sniper rifles that are terrible close range when shot from the hip, since you simply can't use zoom close range. Making this weapon hitscan would make it entirely LESS viable. It is not a LEX. It's high firerate, and clip size along with innate puncture makes this just as deadly picking off single targets at range, as it is fighting hordes of chargers right on top of you.

No offense, as it really is entirely opinion on wether you hitscan versus projectile, but you have way more versatility with projectile.]]

lost the argument in my posting and now he's making up his own. let me break it down for you again.

1. this weapon hitbox is messed up. thus Lex still has upper hand on accuracy and clip size. dont talk fire rate. you're supposed to oneshot kill or go home with these two.

2. pistol ammo drop so often that even with max gunslinger, i wont run out of ammo on despair,acrid in t3 even if i use nothing but those.

3. this thing has nothing but power to one shot, but since it has no armor pierce/ armor ignore, capability drops rapidly as mob level increases.

4. super charge lex or take a lato vandal and they will outperform and be more reliable than seer. then again, people like you wouldnt have lato vandal to even try i guess.
