// PVP ANALYSIS
Was strong before 1.17.0 nerfed it from 10 to 8.5 damage. At 8.5 damage with Very Weak armor pen, it takes 21 body shots to kill through Medium. That's a lot of trigger pulls for a semi-auto. The 2.5x headshot (21.25) helps but you're still looking at 9 headshots through Medium. There are better options now.
// VERDICT
Outclassed. Rattler does similar DPS with full-auto. Ferro does more per shot. Move on.
// MATCHUPS
