In Hardcore, I'd expect to see the HVK-30, ICR-1, Dingo, the Drakon and 48 Dredge everywhere. Hardcore values weapons differently, and usually places emphasis on weapons that can deal around 30 damage for a good distance. HVK-30 and ICR-1 have very long one shot kill ranges, whereas the Dingo and 48 Dredge have practically infinite one shot kill ranges when un-suppressed. And while the Drakon doesn't fit the bill as one of those weapons, some players will play Hardore with it to breeze through its camo challenges.

Anyone using a Man-O-War, Gorgon, BRM, etc. in Hardcore doesn't understand the game mode in my opinion.
