G7 needs a Rate of Fire nerf

Dear Respawn, This weapon has become over-powered in close quarters combat. It's too easy to handle and fires too rapidly, we have just about everyone running it in their load outs and using a SNIPE...

@PruneGang4Life The G7 is the best weapon for all ranges period. Easy to pick off enemies at 150m+. Easy to two tap (with double tap hopup) full health enemies in close range.
The only drawback is this weapon requires very good accuracy, if you miss a burst shot in close range, you will die to any competent player using any weapon. At range, the only weapons to counter are other G7s or maybe a longbow hitting 100% headshots.
Nerfing the fire rate will make this weapon useless.
A small damage reduction may be needed. This weapon has extreme melting potential.

The G7 needs a RATE OF FIRE nerf and that's it. You can literally use this weapon up close to destroy someone like you would an AR or SMG and NO it doesn't take a lot accuracy to do so because you don't need to hit that many shots. The gun is easier to use than an R99 and just as effective. No sniper rifle should be that effective up close. IT FIRES TO QUICKLY - I use it all the time and can spam shots faster than an R301 in single fire mode.

The RPM is on the G7 Scout is 273, it needs to be reduced to about 150-180. It should still be faster than the Longbow and other snipers, but its fire rate is way over tuned right now.

In comparison...

Triple Take RPM: 75

Longbow RPM: 70

Charge Rifle RPM: 30

It's so obvious, it's hard to believe anyone arguing otherwise even plays this game right now. Also no one in their right mind uses double tap on the G7
