A gun that does 20 damage at any range is not capable of competing with any gun at any range. Only the AUG HBAR and Bling'd RPD w/ Grip are capable of competing when used with a silencer.

Also, if you don't use the Grip on the MG4 you are missing out on the one thing that can make it truly remarkable; a 100 round magazine, 800 RPM, 30 damage weapon with absolutely no recoil.
