How? I don't believe you can fit 2xUAC5 on a shawk unless you run a standard engine.. and then you don't really have the tonnage for ammo..

I run STD275 and 5 tons of ammo. If i am careful with my aim, those 5 tons bring me about 600 dmg per match. Enough for me.

why not just do one better and get rid of RNG entirely?

does anyone like random jams?

If UACs were just burst ACs with faster cooldowns and no jams, I think I would be okay with them

How so?

Its more like a real high speed machine gun from the 80s!

They definitely increased the jam rate. I stopped using UAC5s completely. They are now inferior by any metric to the AC5.

i think for me the line was crossed when running a ctf-im with 3 uac5s and all 3 would jam up frequently, often at the same time. ive since switched to lb-10s then ac10s, which is just brutal, at least till i run out of ammo and have to use the single small laser for backup.

i guess they are best used when you have more than one and when you have 2 or 3 other weapons to choose from. as a primary or stand alone weapon system, its just crap.
