So people, tell me this. Are you really saying that a close range weapon shouldn't be effective in close range? I hear people always complaining, especially about the Tac-45, B23R, and KAP-40 beating SMGs in CLOSE RANGE. All I will say is this: Look at the damn gun stats, the real ones. I'll leave a link to the spreadsheet.
