Really? It's definitely an underrated weapon. I wouldn't recommend it for noob's but if you have decent skills and know the maps well, it can be a great gun. It has a good amount of stopping power and is accurate as fcuk! Low recoil too.
True but generally it's one shot..one kill when playing Hardcore as long as your aim is good. Even though its a single shot its got low recoil and a great fire rate and you can pretty much bump fire as quick as a lot of fully auto guns on there.
You just have to be quick. I use it on some smaller enclosed maps too and seem to place very well most of the time. Shoot....I see some people that are really good using sniper weapons on enclosed maps. Thats the one thing I need to work on....quick scoping.
