Oh how's it work in the game I play? Well you see it's the 2nd highest damage single target hitting weapon in the game that also has the 2nd highest fire rate out of non melee/automatic weapons, not to mention a virtually limitless ammo supply. I mean you have to literally try to run out of ammo for it to happen. You can make an entire crowd disappear in mere seconds if you're quick with aim, you can make the strongest zeds die before they can even attack.
In the hands of a level 6 sharpshooter that can aim, deals 256-294 damage per shot at a fire rate of .175 seconds. That's 1463-1680 dps. A fleshpound on suicidal solo has 2625 health. He kills it in less than 2 seconds. 9-11 shots. He still has 9-11 more shots in his clip, so he can kill 2 fleshpounds before even having to reload and in under 5 seconds! Try doing that with any other class' final tier weapon! You'll find yourself wasting multiple clips and taking a much longer time to do it.
The iron sights are dead on, just because you can't use them, doesn't mean they don't work or suck. It means you are blind because you can't use it for some strange odd reason even though it's exactly like using the LAR's sights but you have no issue with that.
The laser sights do have some issues, but for the most part, do make life easy. It's only on 2 zed types that it doesn't work properly on(clots and bloats) and that's just a bug.
Your argument it lacks the "power" of the xbow, but dramatically outperforms it in the dps department. Sure it doesn't oneshot that fleshpound, but it sure as hell will drop him faster than it takes you to reload if you missed with the xbow.
There's a reason it can't be used with the xbow. That much power would've made the balance that much worse. Heck your only argument here is that you just want the ability to use the xbow for the FPs even though the m-14 is just as effective at bringing them down if not better.
The xbow is NOT a better team support weapon. Yay I heardshot that raging fp with my xbow, but oh noes my teammate still has another one chasing him and is backing into a scrake! I can only choose one by the time i reload! Teammate! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! What then? The M-14 could've handled it all, it can even handle the large groups of trash that come out with ease, heck bodyshots take care of them.
Please, if you can't see how overpowered it is, you're in denial.
