A seemingly minor tweak I would like to see is a range increase to the weapon.

Say perhaps 900m range to make up for some of its short comings.

This gun definitely needs some work, but I don't think this will do much for it.

Why not try to address some of its actual shortcomings instead of tacking on an oddball feature?

More range is pointless because the spread destroys accuracy past 300-400m.

I suggest improving its damage by 100, making it a massive threat at very short ranges, but, while less viable at range, not completely useless. It seems the gun was intended to be so.

If it fired anywhere close to the rated speed, it would have the highest DPS of any energy weapon currently in the game, accomplishing exactly what you're suggesting, tarenty.

Oddball feature? Because this is me and this is what I do.
