I honstly have no idea why so many people overlook the blastgun and go straight to other weapons why I believe this is because of the following reasons
1. the blastgun at close couters completely melts enemies for me they go from full health to none in 1.5 to 2 seconds
2. I have no problem at far distance, the recoil is very predictable and easy to control sometimes I can melt enemies from a far
3. The ammo capacity is no problem and the bullets in the chamber is a pretty good amount in my opinion it takes 1/3 of the clip to kill an enemy if you're a good shot
What are you're opinions??
idk how I missed this thread, the blastgun is my favorite weapon in the game, full stop.
Play to its strengths:
-Unparalleled fire rate
-insane hipfire accuracy
-effectively zero recoil
Mitigate its weaknesses:
-Low ammo capacity means at most two kills per magazine
-uncommon weapon, so you usually can't pick up a dropped blastgun for more ammo
-LONG reload. Seriously, the blastgun is the second longest reload of all primary weapons, being "beaten" only by the MiniG. If this reload was reduced, it would instantly become a top-tier weapon competitive with the Vector/Carbine/G36 trio.
Also I would kill to have the old blastgun model back

About four years ago, I sat down and timed the reload speed and fire rate of every single gun in the game. I've spent the last 2 hours looking for it and I cannot find it anywhere. So yes, weapons have different reload times, but I cannot prove that.
