It shoots fast yes but in a long engagement (sniper rifle range) it can be outgunned. But the way the maps are played most gun fights are met between those medium and short ranges (were the mida really does good) if anything it is simply situational, nothing you can really do about it other than; A- whine about how it kills you, bc you cant strafe or B- put your self in close range with a auto,shotgun, or fast firing handcannon. All it is, is game knowledge friend and whining on the forums to get it nerfed and bring in a new meta really wont help anyone :p - ~cev
