It's underrated in the sense that people think you can't succeed at all with it. The P2020 and Mozambique are more in that class. I get 10+ kills fairly often with the Alternator. It's just most people use it like other guns and ADS for most of their engagements. Its low RoF allows the hip fire recoil to center before each shot so you can be very accurate without aiming.
