Iiiit's mmmmiiiiiinnnnne!

So far, I don't like it very much (lol). Feels like a pea-shooter, not enough impact or stability to feel particularly effective. And the signature perk actually gets me in trouble more than it helps. It's a scout rifle that fires in full auto mode with only 11 bullets per mag. Since landing hits is a bit tricky, and the hits you do land don't do much damage, you burn through a clip in no time. If you keep firing (rather than manually reloading) you'll begin eating away at your health. This caused major problems for me during the daily heroic today; I couldn't find cover to regen my shields, so my only hope was to kill everything that was shooting at me. But the Touch of Malice perk kept interrupting my regen.

All that being said, I could see this weapon being a lot more useful once the final perk is unlocked (3 quick kills gives you some health back). Big crowds of low-level mobs could allow indefinite fire as long as you keep the kills happening. I still think this gun will be a liability against stronger enemies, but that's what specials & heavies are for, right?

Also, I LOVE the animated moving parts on this gun. I hope we see more of that kind of thing in the future :)
