@hhnbbfggty66  I'm aware of that, but it's categorised as a sniper hence my initial comments lol. Tongue out

How about a slight damage buff to 35 and an increase in range(less bullet drop).
That should bring it in line with its sniper/marksman role.

If you buff this gun it will be OP because of its fire rate and manageable hipfire.  It won't become comparable to the longbow/TT - it will just replace them.  Nerf its fire rate and buff dmg etc and it just becomes a longbow that uses light ammo, what's the point?

G7 scout could need a slight buff to make it do 100 body damage with 3 shots.
90 damage for 3 shots with a sniper is kind of lame. 7 body shots to kill a player with 200 health is really lame.

For the Alternator, just make Disruptor rounds a Gold hop up. It is annoying how many players you have to fight in ranked carrying it and when you come across one you feel like you are obligated to use it because you are at a disadvantage without it. It isn't too OP to the point where it needs a nerf, it just needs a lower drop/spawn rate. The Alternator itself I think is balanced. 

 

G7 Scout I am not really sure. I feel like it is a decent beginning game gun in more open drop areas like Thunderdome, Artillery, Relay etc. but it is pretty much outclassed by a Longbow/Wingman for the range it is suppose to be good at. It is almost like a mediocre AR that you would never use over a 301 or even a 99 if you have good aim. I guess what I am trying to say is that it doesn't really have a defined spot in the meta. It has potential but needs something to help it out. Maybe a hop up that doesn't give the bullets so much arc from longer ranges? Or just buff the arc of the shots in general.

@EA_David Alternator needs a buff in firing speed imo. No im not talking like the r99 either, But atleast a 10% buff. g7 is fine.

Both weapons are well balanced. Even alternator hop-up is well balanced. That hop-up is hard to find. Sweet spot RNG. Scout might have need some tweak or need a hop-up for hip accuracy.

@paytakporsuk_tv   yeah agree, the Alternator doesn't feel broken anymore - its decent with the hop-up for end game (its in a good spot right now).

G7 is absolute trash, I'd rather have no gun than a G7. At least if I have no gun I'm not going to think to myself "hey I can win", because I won't. G7 is possibly the worst gun in the game. 

 

Rate of fire sucks so it's bad a close range, damage is bad so it sucks at mid range, and it has no range so it sucks at long range.
