It's not a buff, let me clear that out of the way.

Why?
Well, clearly, the damage has been raised, leading to most people saying it has been buffed. Even PD said so until the next part.

The ammo has been reduced to 30/1.

This is a significant nerf, because the damage done in one clip has been reduced.

23 x 42 = 966 damage per clip

down to

28 x 30 = 840 damage per clip

I mean, the only thing increased, other then damage is DPS, but that was going to be raised even if the ammo pool is reduced to 10/1.
