Fix Wingman
12 bullets in the wingman is so terrible, needs more bullet drop at distance, and needs higher damage drop off at distance, making it a hand cannon but not a sniper cannon. The wingman is ridiculousl...

@Sir_Named But in my example, both guns don't see the target any better than the next, if anything, the G7 iron sights can't see crap. I don't disagree that using any other gun would be better, but when scenarios like I explained happen, the wingman usually has the upper hand due to ADS movement, hit power, etc.
Yes, the G7 is very slightly faster than the wingman. You are right. It sure as hell didn't feel that way lol.

@SolitaryMassacre You make a good point.
But to be more specific, if you try the same thing with their max sights, (at sniping range), the G7 might not move as fast, but has the edge on the Wingman since it can actually see the target fairly clearly.
The Wingman can strafe and spam, but it will miss a majority of the shots.
The G7 would slowly strafe, but has a much, much better chance of hitting the Wingman user. Plus, the G7 can spam slightly faster and generally more due to the mag size and rate of fire.
This is specifically for sniping though, I don’t deny that the Wingman will be just fine at mid range.

- @Sir_Named This is a completely different scenario. But even still, the wingman user will be strafing faster and harder to follow in a zoomed in scope. My position will always be - a pistol should not out perform an AR or sniper at range. The sniper/AR should always have the upper hand.
- @SolitaryMassacre You literally can’t strafe too fast for the scope. If that happens, then scope you used is too high magnification, which wouldn’t be happening on a 2x-4x at sniper distance.
It really isn’t that different of a scenario. Plus, people typically put scopes on their weapons anyway, (especially G7, nobody uses G7 iron sights unless you are a psychopath.), so your example wouldn’t be that relevant.
In my scenario, I’m putting the Wingman up against a semi-auto assault rifle at sniper range. And they are using sights, as it’d be ridiculous if they tried to snipe each other at sniping range without any scope.
This is a fairly common scenario, as it basically is just two squads sniping each other with at least semi kitted guns, at a long range.
Mid range, the Wingman probably can do better than some other guns, but at long range it really shouldn’t unless you are messing something up. Primarily because the Wingman doesn’t have access to high magnification scopes, and as such can’t see the target very well at long ranges, whereas the target will be able to see the Wingman user much better.
