Im im sure you can go on the database and see how low its aim assist is compared to other snipers. It only has 55 aim assist. That is low. The trials sniper with hidden hand can have around 85-90. Shadow of veils had 70. So i wish these -blam!-ing morons would stop bashing the 1k stare saying its a noob weapon when most of them use shotguns and/or don't understand that it actually takes skill to kill with yard stare compared to other snipers.
