Gunfight penalty using auto-sprint

I know what it says in game about not being able to fire initially as fast when sprinting, but does auto sprint hurt you in other ways?  Specifically, is there an accuracy penalty for firing while sp...

    @HappyHourSumwur I just checked for you. As soon as you start shooting, you no longer sprint. I had a feeling that was the case but I wanted to check first. I'm pretty confident this would apply equally to MNK and controller.  There is only the delay in starting shooting that you already mentioned.

I don't know how ti works on a keyboard, but on controller, once you get used to auto-sprint you won't engage it when you're trying to move at walking pace.

    @pandareno1999 M&K = Toggle. Push C to sprint, stop or move backwards to start walking.
    Auto-sprint pretty much has you running at all times except when crouching. Does that lower your accuracy?

      On controller mvmt is different.  If I move my left stick forward gently, I do not sprint, I walk.  I will sprint if I fully move the stick forward.  So once I got used to it, I only sprint when I want to. I haven't played MNK,  I mentioned that because I don't know exactly how it works then.  It sounds like it works pretty differently.  I only use auto-sprint because it helps on controller, I don't know that there's much use for it on MNK.  I'm interested to see what others might say.

        @pandareno1999 But you can also set sprint to toggle if you want by pressing L3. That's how I used to sprint.
