FMGs are a secondary, so even snipers can whip them out. They have technically unlimited range and are super forgiving. Even with a lower fire rate they're probably still too effective. They should probably just not exist, or be primaries at least.

In close quarters I can understand the shotguns being that powerful but it's the range that they are getting kills that is just crazy to me. It's hard to determine distance in the game but come on. I should not be coming out of the tunnel on hardhat and get shot gunned bu a guy still in the opening of the room across from the tunnel. That seems way to far.
