I love the Alternator with the disruptor rounds, it reminds me of BT and his Amped XO-16A2 in the Titanfall 2 Campaign.
The Alternator could use a little tweaking.
The Alternator is still a little OP.
The Alternator base damage should be reduced a little to bring it in line with the RE-45.
The RE-45 is not OP with the disruptor-rounds.
So the disruptor-rounds does not need nerfing, just the Alternators base damage.
The G7 was my go to weapon in season 1.
I would run the G7 with a 2x Hcog scope.
This was fine until I learned the R301 can cover the same range, with the addition of full auto, and close range capability.
The G7 is best used at medium range, and has some close and long range capability.
Its close and long range capability is only good for early game and is easily outgunned in mid to late game.
By mid game the G7 will easily be out gunned by the R301 or Longbow.
The R301 is a superior weapon that covers the G7 close to medium range more effectively.
The Longbow is a superior weapon that covers the G7 medium to long range more effectively
The G7 is a good weapon for early to mid game, but is best swapped for a R301 or Longbow at mid game.
The G7 could benefit from mid-game damage hop-up.
The hammerpoints hop up could increase the flesh damage to 50 per bodyshot.
This would reduce the shots needed to down an unshielded foe from 3-4, to just 2 shots.
As of now it will take 7 body shots to down a level 3-4 shielded enemy,
4 shots to break shield 120 damage,
3 shot to finish health 90 damage.
210 damage total.
The hammerpoints hop-up dealing 50 flesh damage could decrease the body shots needed to down an enemy to 6 shots.
4 shots to break the shield, 120 damage,
2 shots to finish health 100 damage.
The increased time to kill is what makes the G7 a terrible weapon for endgame, additionally the ring will be smaller forcing player to use closer range full auto weapons.
The G7 could benefit from the switch fire hop-up.
It will be nice to see a full auto 700rpm Battle rifle.
A great example would be the experimental full auto M14 or FN FAL.

I have heard some say it could use the skull piecer Hop-up.
This hop up could reward player for their marksmanship.
But I feel the hopup (2x - 2.25x) will be underwhelming with the low base damage.
Headshot without skullpiercer 60 damage.
Headshot with skullpiercer 67.5 damage.
Not much bang for ya buck.
As is, the G7 is a nice weapon, its well balanced, it was my go to for all of Season 1, but I just recently felt the need to drop it in favor of the R301 in Season 2 due to the brutal ranked gameplay.
The G7 is a good weapon, but it lacks scalability and is easily left behind from mid game to end game.
Its position as a, strong medium range marksman's rifle, could benefit from the hammer points hop up, its position as a close range assault rifle could benefit from a seletfire(which would be crazy fun), and as a long range sniper it could benefit from a 3.5x skullpiercer.
Its a weapon that could can go any way.
