the anti-infantry damage is ridiculously low, basically a bolt action sniper rifle with the damage of a semi auto sniper rifle and a terrible headshot multiplier.

it has ridiculously tight hipfire spread for some reason too, probably to make it somewhat useful in cqc against MAX players.

it can tickle tanks.

exploding ammo, why?

i really wanted this to be an awesome Engineer sniper rifle that, while slow firing, has the ability to damage vehicles; i almost got what i wanted, except it was made completely unusable against infantry, requiring 2 headshots or 3 body to kill on a bolt action rifle with a 2 second chamber time (it's 1.5 now)

i never really had a real problem with the low AV damage on this gun; you  can use it to pick off badly damaged vehicles that are falling back, but it's complete uselessness against Infantry is very frustrating. i'd have loved to see this thing get bolt sniper handling and keep the old 2 second chamber time, making it a proper weapon, and not just a gadget that replaces your primary.
