I think the M-200 Ghillie is a horrible sniper rifle. It has bad spread, rarely hits, and tanks a lot.

When you get out of cover to shoot, you need to wait at least 2-5 seconds just for the spread to settle down. If you don't, the bullet will just fly off in any direction it pleases. To add to that, if you aren't completely still while you shoot (Even with the scope) the bullet may just fly off randomly. This especially cripples the gun since it is a bolt action sniper rifle; you can only fire one shot before you have to cock it again. The spread isn't the only thing that keeps the gun from hitting, though.

For some reason, even if you are very still, have the red chevron directly on the enemy, and shoot, it may still miss! This makes no sense; if a shot should hit directly, then it should! And do not tell me that this is no-reg, because I know that it is not. I have never experienced no reg. The only reg problem I have ever experienced is late reg. As well, during that game, I had excellent reg on my T-2, and even my K5SD. This problem is big enough on it's own, but accompanied by it's damage, it is even worse.

This thing has such inconsistent damage that it should be locked away on shutter island. You can OHK someone across kill creek, then get surprised/snuck up on and fire it into someone's chest at point blank, and they'll still be alive! Even if they use a light vest! This is bad enough on it's own, but the fact that it tanks like crazy makes it even worse. I swear, I've had it tank at least 12 times in a row in one game.

So, the bad spread, the fact that it rarely hits anyway, with the amount of times that it tanks/inconsistent damage have to make me say that the M-200 Ghillie is just a horrible sniper; not the worst, mind you, I still say that the L96A1 holds that spot.
