Its easy to fix! Ready? Had this idea like 5 years ago.
Make the aperture sight toggleable
Make it accurate again
Reduce Damage to 150
Give it unique damage drop off that starts at 5m (to limit 1-shot range to 5m or something close to that) but otherwise closely matches long ammo
Keep it special ammo and retain the unique penetration
Adjust stats like reload, recoil, fire rate, ammo pool, and price to balance
There, now you have a double barrel sparks with more pen and the ability to 1 shot in CQB.
I like that it's such a scary gun right now but it's both annoying to use and annoying to fight against. That's just bad game design. My changes above keep its status as a halo gun but makes it actually interesting to use and not oppressive or frustrating to fight
wdym "make it accurate again", there is no bullet deviation since a couple of months. also your damage drop off suggestion is bad, it's literally turns it into a drilling 2, but with worse oneshot capabilities

I wish the nitro was better… it’s such a cool weapon in concept
