Although I'm not a big fan of short burst mode, this gun's long range and accuracy make up for it. The gun is amazing!!! Pick the red dot scope, along with Perk1: Special Grenades x 3, Perk2: Stopping Power, and Perk3: Steady Aim and you'll be killing bad guys in no time. I think steady aim really helps when you are walking or running, accuracy can really be crucial in this game, that's if you haven't figured that out already .
