At a weight of 9 you can only carry it with 5-weighters like the SCAR or Fire Axe (or the lesser weight ones ofc).
It would be nice to be pairable with the LAR and perhaps even the M14 imo.
At a weight of 8 on the Hunting Rifle, it would be good enough (pairable with LAR that way), but if you put the Hunting Rifle AND the M14 to 7 weight, it would be a greatly useful and fun combo. (And hopefully in the future Xbow at 8 so you can pair it with the LAR but that is just me dreaming
)
Anyway:
* What damage do you have it at? 225-ish? (LAR is 140 and Xbow 300)
* What headshot multiplier? 2x?
* Total ammo? 40? At a weight of 7 or 8 it would be just fine with 40 ammo, but up to 50 would be better, if the damage isn't too high that is. At a weight as high as 9 it would
definitely require more than 40, that's for sure.
Can't wait until this weapon is completely done though. I hope you can get it balanced enough so it can be added to the real game (and not just as a mutator)!
Good job, i really admire all you guys who actually CAN create things and DO TAKE YOUR TIME TO DO SO!
Keep up the good work!
(PS: If you want help with balancing numbers (damage, ammo, headshot-multipliers, weight etc) just tell me, as i think it is very fun to do such things and to help make it as balanced as possible (which increases the probability of its addition to the real game!). I already helped with JackCarver's M99 and i had a blast doing so!)
