What should be done: 1) Drop its minimum damage to a 7 or even 8-hit kill, so it takes some actual skill to use on range and murders the extended mags + silencer abuse. There is no excuse to have an SMG that owns assault rifles and even snipers on long range. 2) Add a vertical recoil, not big but significant, so Kick is necessary if you want it to be accurate at long range.

There you go, still a strong submachine gun that can definitely compete with others, but finally a SUBMACHINE GUN not a pocket version of a combination of ACR, AK74u, P90 and Death Star. And finally Kick and Range will become important proficiencies for it if you want to use it for longer distance rather than EXT MAGZ + SILENCER 24/7 LOL.
