Wow, my entire gameplay experience with guns has been different. Handguns have been garbage except for Magnum stuff , while I’ve been straight up wrecking things with Rifles. Mods significantly improve things for me (as long as I use the right balance). Range is never a problem if you get dispersion down to the minimum and aim for me.
SMGs are fucking beast, though. I never bothered using them as Crazy Jack, but I picked one up as Noble Culver and suddenly zombies are dying left, right and center. There’s something nice about a giant freak of nature using a shield an SMG instead of his glorious natural weapons to wreak divine carnage.
Really weird…
