However, it is apparently out of whack with the other SMG's as somebody has tested. Sorry I've no link but I read they were holding their damage to much greater distances than the other SMG's.
I think they should disable the PP-29 until they hot-fix it tbh. They can demonstrably disable something if they want (e.g. sensor nades) so don't see why they allow the PP-29 to dominate the game like this.
You're just gimping yourself by not using it.
Issue is Bloom is far too aggressive on other weapons, everyone is using PP28 because it's the only full auto weapon that actually works.

@BicolorZulu It's not just the spread (I much prefer that term, call me a dinosaur if you must :D), but I do agree that everything about the gun coming together is what makes it broken:
Bugged damage drop off.
Innately large magazine.
Decent rate of fire.
Low recoil.
Low/non-existent spread.
Reasonable reload time.
All things combined, it hands-down wins as the best all-round gun.
I see other complain about the SVK 2-shot. I can maybe appreciate this being nerfed for long distance 2-shots but at least the SVK has draw-backs with it's 2 shot (very small magazine, slow rate of fire, longer reload time). SVK does well at its intended engagement range.
The PP-29 excels at all distances - even at longer ones it can outperform DMRs and even snipers, courtesy of its combination of features listed above.
