One of the most well balanced guns in the game. Not too noob friendly like the G36, or too hard to use effectively like it's big brother the AK-47 (too hard noob wise, good players can still use the 47 effectively). The rate of fire borders on SMG proportions, while maintaining decent spread control for CQC. Longer ranges, you'd be surprised how effectively this tap fires. You can even pick off some heads at a range (and get people to QQ because your gun is seen as a CQC thing). Damage is a weak 3 hit kill, turns into 4-5 at longer ranges. No rank restriction means ANYBODY can use it assuming they have the GP. This and the M4A1 are the rankless guns I'd recommend to newer players.
