Wingman
OK. I have to ask. I have seen lots of people who think the Wingman is awesome. It packs a punch and is a powerful weapon. I agree. The problem is I cant' hit **** with it. I just can't. Even ...
I hated it. Never picked it up, but after some 1v1 sessions in firing range with a friend I stopped being scared of it, and now I'll play it on occasion. There are just several guns that I like better so doesn't happen often. I can only use it with the 1x Hcog though, or the iron sight if there is no 1x Hcog available.
I'm not afraid of it. I will roll with whatever I pick up but it's the first one to be ditched.
I give it another try from time to time but it's always the same, just never hit anything.

If I feel like I am playing well and my aim is on point I will pick one up and use it. Half the time though I feel certain I should have hit someone and it doesn't. I find its best to not put any sight on there at all, maybe a digital threat but thats it. I think largely using it well is getting the tempo right and not just spamming it as fast as it will fire, which for me is often the case.
Main reason for carrying one for me is not having to carry much ammo for it really.

@Piabetic *THIS* exactly. I am convinced I should have hit with it many times. One game I literally had a guy with his back to me (looting) walked up to him aiming down sights and had the red dot right on his head... fired. Miss. Unbelievable. This is why I think it's broken. That was a dead cert headshot and no hit was registered from a few feet away.

I've always found the Wingman one of the most inconsistent weapons for hit registration even with the thermal scope attached where I've often found hitting a target centrally does no damage whatsoever.It's not the first or second shots I fire I have a problem with it's the 3rd,4th,5th etc.Despite the high hit damage per hit it has like other people have commented I will always swap it for any other heavy ammo weapon given the chance or just keep it as a finishing weapon when the enemy is less mobile.
