None of the weapons were nerfed or reworked in any way during the Reboot patch. What Nexon did was rework the statistics so that it more accurately represents the true performance the weapon. For example, the M16A3 we all know is a terrible gun. However, it originally showed a 32 damage. Now if you think about it, with a decently high rate of fire and 32 damage, it shouldnt take so many bullets to kill someone with it right? Nexon now shows that the M16A3 actually has a 27 damage. This actually makes much more sense and accounts for its extremely low DPS and why it takes around 6 chest shots to the front to kill someone.

Another example, is the P90TR, which originally showed a 35 damage. 35 damage is only 1 off from the "36 damage, 90 rate of fire" SMGs Nexon most recently released such as the CZ, Micro UZI, T2. However, even though those SMGs CAN melt people fairly quickly in close quarters, you'll notice it seems that those SMGs seem to hose bullets and sometimes people seem to just absorb them all and still come out with 10+ HP. You now see that those SMGs only deal a 31 damage, and P90TR deals a 33 damage, which explains why P90TR seems to kill in less bullets. Plus, those high firerates is what helps the 31 damage feel like high DPS. The only problem is latency which sometimes causes the damage to not register as fast as you are actually dealing.

._. thats one long explanation for something so simple LOL
