I never challenged you to be able to do so, though I sure wouldn't want to try myself. I assume that you probably have relatively a high perk level since you are playing HoE so why bother using the 9mm as your main?
Sharps are not sweepers; you don't have to clear a hallway, nor are you meant to and I have to think you are exaggerating a bit since even though clots, stalkers, bloats, and gorefasts all die from lv6 sharp 9mm headshots, to get 15 or even 10 kills with one clip on HoE with a varied set of specimen would be difficult. Using such a position to claim that the 9mm could or should be nerfed further is a logical fallacy at best (claiming an outlier as a representative set).
Even then there are much better weapons for the sharpshooter, particularly if they are doing their job of dealing with the tougher enemies (like Husks and Sirens which take roughly half a clip of headshots from the 9mm to kill). The bullpup in semi-auto works just about as well and is cheaper to stock ammo for anyway, to say nothing of effectiveness in combat.
I'm not saying it should be nerfed further, I am saying it is still a decent weapon. I use it because I find it enjoyable to use. As for the 10 kills per mag, it depends on situation and makeup, and yeah, I have gotten 15 kills with a mag more than once. I am not just going to stand around with a crossbow waiting for a husk or siren, which I don't try to use a 9mm on anyways. I'll shoot whatever is there. People I play with on my server work together, and commandos don't get butthurt if I blow away a crowd of crawlers with my 9mm. Everyone's job is killing specimens, when the bigs come out, they know to cover me while I snipe them, until then, we all just kill stuff. For the bullpup suggestion, I can't carry an xbow with it, and I find a 9mm and handcannon together do the majority of what I need to kill.
I use the 9mm as a main because I am good enough, and it is challenging and fun. I even play the STALKER series, a game renowned for its difficulty, with a suppressed 9mm as my main weapon. I also did it on counter-strike, years ago when I actually played. My main weapon was the P226, and I generally led the scoreboard.
I have a lvl 6 sharp with around 60k headshots. I played commando until the update because the sharp was a boring spam class. I love it now.
And it is magazine, not clip. There is a huge difference.
