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...

@Leo_the_Lion25 I agree with the ammo count of the G7, it really is one of it's main issues, I think it could go even further to 7/10/12/15.

I think a slight damage reduction as well to 32, just so it tips under the 3 body shots to down a flesh enemy mark. It'll still down a white shield player in 5 though.

If they nerf the fire rate, it will be just like the Longbow. So no reason to have 2 longbows. I think nerf the damage to 32 or 30 (like it was) is better option. I also think getting rid of the double tap and putting like a "dead shot" (a perk that causes no bullet drop) would be a better perk. Then maybe I would use it for distance more. 

But yeah there are times I get dropped (or I drop someone) so quickly with it. I thought it was perfectly fine before the damage buff, I was surprised it even got a buff.

    @SolitaryMassacreNo? I didn't say 'drop the fire rate to match the longbow'. Right now here are the current rounds per minute each gun fires:

    G7 Scout RPM: 273
    Triple Take RPM: 75
    Longbow RPM: 70
    Charge Rifle RPM: 30

    So yeah, we could literally halve the RPM of the G7 and it would STILL be twice as fast as the longbow.

    *edit* Not to mention, G7 rounds drop a LOT less than the longbow, so you don't have to adjust your aim near as much from a distance.
