Nearly every weapon in this game is in a specific impact & fire rate category 1000 yard is in the same one as ldr, stillpeircer, eirene rr4, etc. They all also have similar aa & handling except for eirene with a much lower aa stat. It's a solid weapon that's pretty much average in everything but due to it being widely available to all classes from a quest early on in ttk, it's constantly said to be "op" or "easy mode". It's sad so many play this game but few understand how things actually work in it.
