Since we're not on the pickup server, can you expand on the reasoning behind why it's considered "op?"

Mabe just shot up the speed of the RL for a few minutes for giggles. It created a near-hitscan projectile weapon with all the power of the RL. Even if the splash were removed, MAs were still unbelievably simple.

Anything that moves that fast needs to either have a hugely long reload time (e.g., the sniper), or be weak enough to require a number of hits to register.
 
I thought I had more footage but apparently I forgot to hit record or something, there was a good 5~10 minutes of pregame dicking around with this. Still, you get the idea. Everyone was shooting everyone else out of the sky and it was stupidly imbalanced to the point that I vomited all over you. Bad weapon idea.
 
As is, it might not be a great weapon idea, but pieces of it have promise. We've been doing all sorts of weapons testing, and a finesse weapon that abandons splash for easier (if less effective) MAs has been under scrutiny for some time. Might scratch this particular itch.

It would seem I need to follow every post Daphy makes closely now
