The main reason you hipfire is because the gun is easier to handle accurately from the hip than from ADS. It was POSSIBLE you'd kill in two hits, but very, very rare (who runs low armor builds in PvP?). Unless the gun fires slower I can't imagine it's going to be better ADS than from the hip.

- Not really. Stability tightens the bolts, which is my issue. -

- Range actually tightens spread on FRs. -
Cody Miller,

- Stability is the primary spread reducer currently. -
