Summary
Note: This section serves as a tl;dr.

The most recent updates concerning new content & balances changes haven't been the best changes. They have had a negative affect on the game & it's progression. I'm going to go through the recently updated things & say what should be changed about them.

R700
Issue: The gun did it's job well before the recent magazine buff. It was a low rank, one shot sniper that did well in single target elimination. It did well as a very early game sniper that wasn't very punishing if you missed your shot as you could just spam away with the steyr m, which you where probably using with.

The buff changed it to be just a lowkey barret. It's honestly op compared to the other lr guns around it, like the m93r or the skorpion. Anybody would throw the colt in the trash can once they got this as it feels like a direct upgrade.

Solution: Revert it to when it was a one shot body shot but had 1/12 ammo.

Wingmaster
Issue: The 25% reload attachment was pointless. I understand it was made to make it more comparable to the higher rank shotguns, but it gives you access to it way too soon. I personally think it was one of the most balanced guns in the game along with the AK. But the 25% makes just ruins that. It gives it a buff it shouldn't have yet. Before you say "It's only 25%, remember this is a shotgun. Reloading is a major mechanic when it comes to shotguns that can make or break a shotgun that makes it a bit more powerful that it should be. Solution: Make the attachment more expensive or rank locked.

Dragunov
Issue: 8/3 is INSANE. The gun definitely needed the damage buff, but 8/3 is overkill. The extra ammo just encourages spamming & not taking careful, but speedy headshots. The 8/3 buff makes it a contender to the barret, a rank 22 gun. I'm also guessing the gun was buffed to compensate for the R700 buff, but if that gets nerfed this is going down with it.

Solution: Revert the buffs except the damage.

Lead Pipe
Issue: StUn MeChAnIcS. REEEEEEEEE. What is it with pr & stun mechanics? You've never had a bad experience until you've been beaten down by a lr with this. Constantly being reflashed with every swing. It's almost as bad as discord light mode! Stun mechanics was the worst thing added to video games right after the insta-kill. I don't think you enjoy vision impairment either.

Solution: Change it's main stat, concussion, or remove it entirely.
