If you think damage means rof you weren’t using the Dreiss very well, it’s all about them headshots and careful tap firing, not spraying, you spray with SMGs, not Rifles.[/quote]
I thought it was obvious that I meant DPS by damage.

No I mean that RoF doesn’t neccessarly mean everything, the Dreiss recieved a nerf in RoF yes but it sure as hell doesn’t suffer from it. You were never meant to spam it to begin with, good shot placement has always been the proper way to use the Dreiss. If you were iron sighting with it and spamming shots, you were doing it wrong, sorry.[/quote]
Why are you even using the Dreiss then? I mean, what advantages could it possibly give its user if it can’t outdamage anything? High DPS was the only thing the gun had going on for it, right now the combination of sluggish fire rate, terrible hipfire accuracy and mediocre DPS make it one of the worst primaries in the game, it’s essentially the Blishlock of rifles.[/quote]
20 shot clip
50 damage per headshot
More accuracy actually than the revolvers, so your strat of using just the Revolver is a terrible idea
And it’s accuracy is definitely not terrible, if I can hit someone in the head no problem with hipfire from medium range then maybe the problem is the player and not the weapon.
Saying the gun is terrible because it doesn’t fire as fast is a pretty terrible argument, because AGAIN if you were spamming it to begin with you’re using it wrong.[/quote]
The maximum spread and rate at which it increases are both actually very similar to the revolver. Wow, you can tapfire and deal 52 damage in a headshot. And then die because you just got out-DPSed by any other primary (assuming equal skill level between both players). High damage per bullet is meaningless when in the long run you can’t actually outdamage anything. Statistically it pretty much is a revolver with more bullets and more range before damage drop off kick in.[/quote]
And that is where your argument crumbles I’m afraid, DPS assumes that both players are nailing 100% of their shots, and aiming call of duty style due to spread. But that doesn’t happen, this game is about 80% hipfire. And if you tried to spam it all the bloom is going to knock your shots all over the place BUT your target. So, your only option is to fire from the hip and tap your shots, plain and simple.
And the Dreiss and the Revolver aren’t comparable because they’re not even on the same mercs. None of the mercs that have access to the Dreiss can use a Revolver with it, you get the pistols instead. You’re arguing pure math here which has very little to do in reality with how people ACTUALLY play.
