@Monhulio Well, that does seem like a reasonable goal, but it probably shouldn't exactly happen. I don't think a sniper should be able to compete with an smg in close range, and vice versa.
Also, requiring someone to have basic recoil control and tracking doesn't take much skill.

@Sir_Named The way I see it every gun should be able to compete technically speaking, but every gun should have an area where it is better than others.
Like you guys said, R99 should excel at close range along with other smg's, PK point blank to mid with choke and shotguns close range, snipers long range. AR mid range and so on.
Though the problem is, this isn't the case. Alternator doesn't really compete enough if at all. RE-45 is good in a skilled players hands, but doesn't provide terribly significant perks. P2020 only good with HP but otherwise painful. Bique amazing with HP if u land all 3 pellets, even when they have slight amount of shield left, but without its not quite there (barring the fire rate boost, the 60 pellet damage from April fools was a crazy temporary buff tho).
What shouldn't happen, is for the meta to stay as it is, seeing as many people are complaining about stale repetitious gameplay endgame of players using the same old guns, same old strategies, to varying degrees of success. And to some extent the dev's agree, with legend balancing, the PK nerf a while back, and the fact that gun balancing changes occasionally.
