Keeping in mind that this is a first impressions review of this weapon immediatly post launch, I have to say that this is the weakest of the new SMG's, and possibly the weakest SMG in game in its release form.

I say this because both the VS and NC SMG's that got added are better when fired full auto, since they have better bullet velocity, and higher time to kills, not to mention more time between reloads, and more damage per magazine. Remember, traditionally its the TR that are supposed to have the best damage per magazine, not the lowest.

The hybrid suppressor is just a bad idea. It lowers your bullet speed down to just 175m/s, which is the worst of any infantry weapon, suppressed or not.

The BX adapter is again, arguably more hinderance then help. While you can kill a target almost instantly with the alternate fire mode, it has a rather short effective range, and the delay means you will miss more often then you will hit. Combined with a reduced full auto magazine capacity, and its overall just a bad attachment.

Despite all that, this weapon is not unusable, but it dangerously underperforms. Idealy, it needs a buff to both its fire rate, and bullet velocity to allow it to properly compete in gun fights.

As it stands, its intended role of a longer ranged SMG is better filled by the SMG 46 armistice, and that weapon is considered to have one of the shortest effective SMG ranges in the first place.

Dont buy this weapon as it is now, and if you screwed up and bought it like I did, then stick to a flanking playstyle for any hope of usefulness.
