i dont think it needs a nurf personally. i think literally everything else needs a buff. lol. the shotguns are literally useless. and the smgs are pretty close

I personnaly use it because its amazing at close range. I use it on the flag in momentum. Works out really well too.

If anything they need to nerf the SAC3's with invisible Harry potter cloak. Any close range map with these bad boys results in high kills. The Bal-27 is an ok gun but it looks the same to me as every other assult rifle in AW.

You just answered you're own question. it's OP why wouldnt anyone use it, its amazing..

Juvia wrote Before all you people who use it say "It's a good gun, Scrub." No, It's an OP gun. Can't get in any lobby with out a musty team who can't handle their one's using that gun and calling out in public matches. And then say we're terrible when they only win with double teaming, triple teaming, and sometimes the rare quin teaming.

I really don't see what the issue is with it. It has a lot of recoil and I never kill people in 2-3 shots with it. If you wanna talk op check out the R.I.P. It is a AK-12 elite variant that has no recoil. That gun is OP.

Exactly like the honeybadger on ghosts, the PDW on Black ops 2, the ACR on MW3 and UMP 45 on MW2
they get nerfed within the first 5 months

Zaylo wrote Well this game is huge. With the flying and jumping and boosting an SMG will just not be able to hold down a map, and as I said before "... What's so bad about the bal? We all start with it it's just the matter of whos better. Not like past CODs where whoever is lvl 55 and has the AN-94 is better."

the fact is.. i dont need to level up to get better guns because the best gun is the first gun you get

there is no need to nerf it only bad people like you think it needs it
you start with it so its fair use they need to upgrade the other guns not lower the bal nuff said

I use it simply because it's the only gun which even competes with other in multiplayer. I wan't to use other guns and test them all but my K/d in games would suffer like crazy. Maybe it should be nerfed slightly but then of course the balance is hard to find.

I've never used that weapon. I only use the AK-47 with silencer, foregrip, and quick aim.
I love it, and I've gone 20-0 in some matches. (Detroit is the best map for it)
