Would any of you actually consider the G7 to be a "sniper" in its current state though? It really lacks both the range and damage to fit this category.

I'm by no means against this weapon but i mean if i'm taking a sniper role its last on my list of priorities, even the triple take is more effective as its got the range.

@MandatoryIDtag I never use the G7 as a sniper. I use it as a midrange weapon which you CAN bring to a sniper fight in a pinch, but to win vs someone with an actual sniper rifle you've got to be significantly better than them.

    @Anlbrd  exactly my point bro, it's falsely classified lol. Trouble is, if its given a damage buff it then becomes heavily overpowered due to its mid range effectiveness. Its a catch 22 really. ☹️

      @MandatoryIDtag I think it's perfect as it is tbh, there's no real problem to be solved with it. Anyone who can't use it who I talk who usually end up betraying the fact that they're trying to use it in the way they think it should work instead of getting to grips with the weapon as it is. I absolutely LOVE a g7 :D

        G7 is perfect....Alt is a bit OP with the hopup, but still not as bad as the wingman....that thing destroys way too easily.
