I'm sure the intended purpose of an SMG isn't to engage enemies at long range, but the do because they often have low recoil, high rpm like the scorpion. Just because something has an intended purpose does not mean it can't forfil another purpose. QS simply utilizes the power of a sniper rifle to engage a nearby threatening target as fast as possible. Improving ones versatility in the battlefield often means fewer deaths and longer kill streaks. Qs understand this and thus use the sniper in a range of unconventional ways. Just because it's unconventional does not mean it's impractical. Aim assist only advantages a trick shot where when 360ing spin speed will slow down momentarily when facing a player. A skilled play knows the time it takes to effectively 360 recognize the aim assists "slow" and fire. The 360 show boating is just a form of humiliation. On previous games it was often knifing someone in the back or head like in CS but COD fans find knifing cheap and unhumiliting nowadays, 360s look far more effective. QS on whole doesn't jet magically acquire kills, it's often down to precise aiming, timing and reaction speed. A bit of luck can come in handy too
