Alternator + Double Tap = BADAZZ!
Full auto double barrel SMG.
Perfectly balanced due to small clip size.
16 Mag size = 8 full auto shots!
2x damage
2x recoil
2x bullet consumption
2x fun
High damage but small magazine size!
Will help Alternator fill it role as an SMG!
Can put the Alternator as Rival to the R99.
High Damage small mag vs High Fire-rate Large mag.
Please do this Respawn!

RSC SMG https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/RSC_SMG

Small magazine size but Reward shot placement.
Penalized for missing shot with reload.
Perfectly balanced.
One of my favorite weapons from Battlefield 1.
RSC SMG was a skill-cannon.
High damage but small magazine size.
I truly feel the Alternator could fill the same role in Apex.
I loved the RSC because it rewarded skill.
I believe the Alternator need some special.
And the fact it has 2 barrels, is its special trait.
Let us fire the Alternator both barrel in full auto.

What about extended magazine?
It would largely screw damage per mag balance then since you would have a very forginving- very high dps SMG and decent accuracy.
Weapons needs to be also balanced with full attachments.
R99 is kinda weak stock and extended mags makes it strong.
Your suggestion would makes alternator strong stock and insane when fully equipped.

High DPS high damage per mag too. you can't have both. It would simply be superior to R99 in all categories: DPS, damage per mag and accuracy.
Not even less forgiving despite its smaller mag since damage per mag would still be higher.
And 30 damage per shot on an auto weapon is insane.Look how flatline shreds with its 20 damage per shot despite its terrible recoil.
Alternator is already the most accurate SMG on full auto, it would sherds people from CQB to mid-long range.
People would complain, even if it would be from a legendary hop-up
