I only use akimbo FMG's on my sniper class, I still beast with them.  You say they're nerfed down?  Why does everyone blame everything besides their lack of skill when they get beasted?  The other guy got the drop on you, deal with it.

What gun do I think is perceived as much more overpowered than it is? The Type 95. Is it a good gun? No it's a GREAT gun! However alot of people seem to think it's a magic wand that let's you effortlessly destroy opponents at any range on the map while taking no skill at all to master. It's true that for the most part if you can see them you can kill them, but at medium and especially long range, it takes several bursts to get the job done. One major (and obvious) difference between this gun and the fully auto AR's is that if you're spraying your SCAR, ACR, or G36 and you're aim is off just a bit, you can adjust while still shooting. With the Type 95 one of its biggest advantages can also be a disadvantage, it's ROF coupled with the 3 round bust. From my experience, all 3 rounds hit or all 3 miss. Good aim is not optional to be effective with this weapon. You HAVE to take that extra split-second to make sure your aim is good!

The Type-95, it didn't need to be nerfed. It's a gun that specializes in long range combat. The reason people hated it was because it killed them at a range their SMGs/Shotguns couldn't reach. Deal with it, you got outplayed by someone who knew what their strengths and weaknesses were and they used them against you.

Now I hear things about the Mk14 being OP, which is total BS, it's not OP. It's incredibly difficult to use but once mastered it's very effective. I've mastered it and now I'm rewarded by having an effective gun that can kill at long range where you can't reach me or even see me. Not my problem you choose to run around with an SMG or shotgun

In my opinion the MP7 has some of the best sights in the game...they're very unobstructive and clean, but I could see how someone could not like how it's sort of a dot..I guess it's more like a pistol sight.

Did you mean MP9 or PM-9? MP9 is a machine pistol sidearm, and has the same fire rate as the MP7, with a 33 damage (4 bullet) kill instead of 35 (3 bullet kill). Also it has a hell of a lot more recoil. PM-9 on the other hand does boast a much higher fire rate but has a hell of a lot more recoil...

I definitely agree that you should be beat running into PP90 P90 PM9 or fmg akimbo. The reason so many people use the MP7 is because it's exceptional at range with its low recoil, and still obviously has an edge on AR's close quarters as an SMG. If you're using something like the PM9 you really have to manage your engagements to be close quarters.

My initial thought when I read the title was a gun like the FAD...a gun that is unlocked at the end of the cycle and that usually means an above-average gun...but I rarely see it out there.  It's a different way to approach your topic, but is it overhyped in that it is unlocked late?
