Should the Wingman be Nerfed?
The Wingman should be nerfed a little bit, EVERYONE uses it and its stronger than most shotguns!
- I think other guns should be buffed to compete not nerfing it

I think the weapon is to easy to use for the damage it does.
It has nearly no recoil after each shot. In the following video i don't move my mouse at all while shooting.

As you can see all bullets despite the first one pretty much hit the same spot.
The Hemlock in coparisson has a lot of recoil.
A weapon with such a high damage output shoult at least be hard to use.

I hardly ever use the wingman, as I avoid it and the OP Peacekeeper like the plague.
But yeah, it's pretty dam easy to use.
Here's the key difference between sustain fire weapons (autos) and burst weapons (yes, PK and wingman would fall under the burst category):
Sustain fire - As soon as a player takes a single bullet from a sustain fire weapon, they can run to cover, negating the majority of the damage. And as long as a sustain fire user is hitting someone, they are themselves exposed to incoming fire.
Burst - As soon as a player is hit, the damage is done. One using a burst weapon can "fire and forget", meaning they can get back under cover immediately after firing, thus not being exposed to damage.
I hope I don't need to explain how big of an advantage that is.
This is one thing I am shocked no one has pointed out.
Why has no one mentioned the movement speed you have while aiming down sight with the wingman? Seriously. Take any rifle. 301, hemlock, snipers.
You move at like 50% movement speed it ADS. Take the wing man and you move at 100%.
Like seriously, this is a REALLY big thing that makes the weapon strong. If an enemy aims down sight with a spitfire, one advantage you have is they are moving quite slow and AD spam is not very reliable for them. Makes shooting back a bit easier to hit.
Now imagine having the wingman. You're still harder to hit, but you're shooting an almost stationary target.
So if he doesn't have more skill and track you better, since you have the easier job, he loses.
The wingman is the only weapon have that kind of DPS potential, while still keeping your suitability with your movement speed. The only two other weapons that you move 100% movement speed at are the peacekeeper and the P2020- I never knew the wingman moved faster while ADS, but I guess that makes sense since people are obnoxiously hard to hit all the time with that damn gun. I don't use the Wingman out of principle, but I would like to use it if it was a better spot. I like using the Deagle in CSGO from time to time, those headshot kills are so satisfying. That's not the case at all in this game, it just feels dirty to use.
