My honest thoughts on guns after 1000hr in game
R301: Best AR. No recoil combined with highest fire rate makes hitting super easy. Absolute laser beam.Only thing which can beat this AR in longer range from other ARs is Hemlok.
Hemlok: Kinda good for fast peak fights at longer ranges, but too hard to use at mid to close range fights. You have to play passive with it, longer ranges and learn recoil in each burst to get that high burst damage. Tapping single fire absolutelly isnt way to go, tapping this quick also makes me miss more. Its good, but you really loosing mid-range stopping power you can get from Flatline.
Flatline: Most versatile gun in game. Good stopping power for close to mid range, tends to be unreliable sometimes. Wouldnt take it over 301 probably, but it can be better in some scenarios. It has good stopping power.
Havoc: This was my go to weapon for few hundreds hours, really great with TC if you know recoil perfectly. Its a hard work to be able to use Havok at 301 ranges. Lack of TC is really making me use Flatline instead for better mid range fights. Havok has more range than Flatline for sure.

Alternator: This gun feels more like an assault rifle to me because of its low recoil. Too weak for close range fights, with barrel stabilizer lvl3 may be more reliable at longer range than most of assault rifles maybe ? I guess. Can be good if you can hit mostly headshots with it which should be easier than with other SMGs, I cant hit them. Could be really disgusting with Hammer point. :D
Prowler: SMG and burst fire really doesnt go together for me, I tried it and it can be more raliable but also less reliable at the same time.
CAR: Strong but unreliable for casual players, best SMG in the game for pro players I guess ? Better than 99 in every aspect. Also better recoil pattern than 99.
R-99: This SMG needs some buffs. Good close range peak weapon, cant stand a chance against CAR SMG. Fun to use because of its high fire rate. Should get few more bullets into magazine to keep up with CAR because CAR has noticeable higher damage output and easier, more reliable one clip. I never could really deal with recoil of this thing unlike with CAR. Also I think even handling speeds are slower than CAR has...
Volt SMG: Overally best SMG in game, feels like R-301 in SMG version to me. The Volt probly has the best range from all SMGs (After PROWLER in right hands)
-
Wingman: Best thing on Wingman is that you can just sit somewhere and never run out of ammo. Very fun to play long range with it. Takes a lot of skill to be best at close range. Isnt that good as people say it is but it is overpowered at the same time. :D Hard to explain... The worst thing people can do while playing against Wingman is to use assault rifle and aim down sight.
2020: Useless. Most likely meant to be useless.
Mozambik: Idk, I never used this gun enough but Ive played against Mozambik players in Arena and my whole team (me included) was dead before we could even position ourselves. :D Literally one player with this destoyed all of us. :D
Re-45: Can be good finisher if you rock Flatline at close range or something like that. Useless as a main weapon I guess.
-
G-7: Hard to knock someone with it at long range if you dont aim for headshots. Fun using, really missing G7 when its in CP now. Great spam potintial.
50-50: Good marksman, hard to say if its better than g7, but I may say it is. Once I eliminated whole squad with it at long range (I dont use it a lot). This gun can be insane and also can be very good finisher with shatter caps. Is it worth rocking instead of 301 ? No it isnt. Is it better than sniper rifles ? Yes it is.
Bocek: Very fun to use. Most annoying thing to get downed with for some players for some reason. :D I really like using Bocek. Spam potintial of this thing works even better with Tempo and the fact you dont have to realod this thing is too good to be true yet still true. This is the best long range weapon in game! I really love using it.
Tripple take: The bullet velocity of this gun is just weird and lack of sniper scope makes it bad weapon. Very hard to hit first shot with it at long ranges. 20dmg for next shots isnt it... Was kinda good sniper rifle but is a terrible marksman. Was much more fun to use than it is now.

I have never used light machine guns a lot, but L-Star with Rampage are totally the worst ones, with Rapmpage its hard to hit someone and L-Star is overheated way too quick veen with lvl4 mag.
Once I jumped in someones face with Spitfire in my hands and I can tell that this thing is probably overpowered at super-close range hip-fire because if you dont get one-clipped then hes totally yours with your 50 bullets in your mag and overal one-clip damage approx. 700 ? :D
-
Charge rifle: Insane. You cant really push Charge rifle team if they have good position. Very reliable. Fun to use.
Sentinel: This gun is the worst sniper rifle. Bullet velocity is too low, damage is too low, noone uses it with tempo because you cant really time your shots if you wanna hit something unlike with Bocek which you can just spam with...
Longbow: Very hard to hit someone with it if theyre not standing still. I may even take Sentinel instead of this because of the bullet velocity. With gold scope it gets better for some reason, but its impossible to obtain anyway.
Kraber: Still a very good gun even after the last nerf. Should stay untouched if you ask me...
-
Mastif: Best and most aggressive shotgun in the game. Faster and stronger than Peacekeeper or EVA-8. Very good patent choking the spray for aim downsight if you can hit your shots.
Peacekeeper: Most user friendly shotgun for unexperienced players. You just hide-shoot-hide with it. Cant play with it as aggressive as you can with Mastif.
EVA-8: Never knew I can just hold fire button and it shoots auto. I may say this is the worst shotgun in game. I like even mozambik more.

At the end I would say just that Id like to see Hemlok being able to outshine 301 at long range, Havoc to get MUCH smoother recoil (needs to get more responsive aim when shooting), Flatline to get better bullet velocity/ smoother recoil, Sentinel and Longbow to get much better bullet velocity, Alternator to get Hammer point, Prowler to get Boosted Loader and all Marksman rifles to get faster bullet velocity just a little bit but those are mostly Okay... And Tripple take to get back its sniper scope.
