G7 double tap is OP

This gun is ridiculously OP with this hop up. No sniper should burst damage this easily

  • The G7 is fine were it at. The hop-up helps for close range fights. You need to know when to switch it on or off. Single Fire is still the best. Double Tap is only strong if you land/hit your shoots. If you try hitting people long range with Double Tap, you will find you miss more often than single fire.

    I agree, the amount of recoil after firing a G7 with a double tap hop-up is extremely hard to control, which means you will struggle to land distance shots.

    I feel like this is meant for close to mid range engagements, so if you're going against this weapon with the double tap hop-up, try staying out of line of sight or stay within its ineffective range. 😁

  • Disagree, takes skill to hit shots and ROF is just fine, the G7 is just fine where it's at.

    @Benchwarmerbrew Triple Take, Long Bow, and G7 Scout all take more skill than a Charge Rifle.

    Not everyone uses the Double Tap either. You're getting double tap constantly, it because you're too close too them and they switched to it.

    A SMG, assault rifle, or even a LMG and Shotgun will out damage double tap close range if you land your shots in time. Double Tap might be enough to pull the trigger once or twice which is 2-4 shots that might all miss or not. Double Tap is less accurate than single fire.

    I only use Double Tap if you too close to me or I want to thirst someone on the ground faster. Most of the times though, I just switch my weapon to a SMG or Assault Rifle if you pulling up too close to me because I aim down sights too much.

    Which is another thing. Double Tap is less accurate aiming down sights but when you hip fire a G7 Scout with Double Tap. It's good and will potentially hit the target who's too close to you.

    When I use G7's Double Tap to thirst people, I am not aiming at them. I am hip firing it while walking around their knockdown shields.

    G7 Scout is fine where it at. Pick it up more, learn it more. It not the best in every match. I miss shots still with it. I want to get better at aiming and hitting my shots more often than missing, but that only happens if you keep picking the weapon up to master it.

    I know people who always pick up the Triple Take or Longbow and that how they got better with those weapons. I can't hit a headshot with those weapons for the life of me at long ranges. They are skillful weapons. 🙂
