    I was playing for my friend @Toby_Manuelito to rank up for him and I used the Dragunov and got to level 23 when I started at level 11, I only used the Dragunov and here is some of the reasons why I think the gun is more OP than the Iso.

    -Reload Time
    Extremely slow yet fast too. It consists of 7 bullets
    -Fire rate
    Very fast!!! SUPER Fast
    -Headshots
    Its a 1 hit kill and you have tons of ammo, I nuked 2 times in one night with the Dragunov

    I think the gun should be nerfed in the future. Thanks!

    It's not terribly overpowered.
    It's very balanced with its firerate and ammo.
    Also 'extremely slow yet fast too'... um... make up your mind please. o.o

    It shouldn't be nerfed in my opinion..

    Hey look it's not a spam thread!
    By the things you just mentioned, the MSR is more op :V
    It has the rate of fire of the python, higher damage, and low travel time.

    I feel as if there is somewhat of a family line in the guns.. (Off topic)
    Like Dragonuv -> MSR -> Disassembler -> (somehow) Python

    Digh the dragonov is balanced unlike most of the guns its one of the few that is actualy balanced. And just because you nuke with it des not make it a overpowered weapon.

    The only guns, which were ever op in my opinion, are barret and moddel. Both got nerfed. But I don't think that Dragunov has deserved it, to be mentioned in one breath with the word over-powered.

    Barret is still good if you headshot.
    Moddel is still OP as crap.
    Dragunov doesn't deserve a nerf but it's a good gun over all.

    I use the Dragunov, and I can say it is not OP.
    It does have good damage and a reasonably good rate of fire.
    However - It is a sniper, it's accuracy is horrible, and the only way to change that is by zooming, which completely takes away your mobility.

    Closest I had gotten was around a 19-20. Then ran out of ammo. I launched an EMP and freaked out because I didn't know how to react to it >_>

    The Dragunov is not the best weapon to be fair, the MSR is better. It's like an upgraded version of it but anyway the Dragunov is good as it is and doesn't need anything, and it's not better than the iso for sure

    The dragunov in my opinion is not not VERY good but I would definatley be fine using it as a lower level player.

    Dragonuv that is slower the the msr and is not a 1 shot like the iso is more op them them? Makes no sense because the msr is like a bigger and better Dragonuv..... so ya.... no..... your argument is invalid.......

    Dragunauv is a weird gun in the aspect it has a high firerate and low damage. It is OP in the sense it can land multiple head shots quickly however I don't see this as a problem as it is somewhat hard to do as the bullet I seems somewhat slower.

    Few months ago Dark and I would commonly use under 31 level guns per match, and competed to see who got better kills/deaths/KDR. Both of us got average games, eve in CTF. My highest with it was 22/5. Decent game, especially for the dragunov. For some reason I do really bad with the semi auto snipers, except for the disassembler. It is balanced, especially for its level.

    Its a very balanced sniper. Dissasembler is the best in my opinion

    Disassembler is amazing for guarding doorways and choke points. It rarely needs to reload and 1-shots because it's easy to get head shots through doorways. Dragunov is nowhere near as good, but still OK.
    Strange. I nuked with Dragunov on Favela too. But I used magnum for my secondary and I was level 12.

    I have learned the true power of the Dis. (For short) The Dragon is now where close to the dis but is still close to Iso
