----READ EVERYTHING AND THINK BEFORE YOU POST----
So it's pretty obvious this gun is extremely powerful and to me when guns are balanced I like to make it good in a particular category or pretty good all round and then have one element that makes it balanced.
With the ghost m4 however there are no negatives to the gun making it extremely powerful for everything.
It has 0.145 freeze,
0.245 firerate
20 clip (I think it's actually higher though)
And a decent amount of spread I think it's between 0.5-0.8
Now we look at the BAR which has 0.2 freeze
0.24 firerate
20 clip.
0.55 is a very significant difference, it's what sets apart the pdw sd from the souizen (0.175, 0.12)
And honestly this is probably too high for only a 13k price gap, and yea sure BAR does 1 more damage but obviously it needs to be better in that because it's worth more.
Because it has so many good stats, I find when watching spars (since I don't really spar myself anymore) players when using ghost m4 are able to continuously fire, almost without stopping effectively making the other player have to dodge endlessly and stand almost no chance unless they have a gun with high damage.
Anyway I don't want to make this to long but basically I don't want to change the freeze (even though I would prefer to considering statistically gm4 is better than m4a3- has 0.1 more freeze than m4a3 but shoots 0.25-0.3 faster and has a bigger clip)
So my proposed change is to reduce the clipsize from whatever it is now to 18, and increase the reload time slightly in order to stop the constant bullet wall spam, and give the other person a small window to escape although still very small and decrease firerate to 0.26 which won't be noticeable to most because very few are good enough at tap firing to reach the full firerate
Obviously many people are going to be against it because lets be honest if you are given the choice of an op gun or a balanced gun people will go for the op option because they think the stronger the gun is the better, when that's not the case as when you have a balanced gun more skill comes into play so that's why I made the thread.
Some people, especially sparrers have said they would agree with this change for the reasons i've stated so that's why i'm making the thread to see if anyone else agrees.
IF ENOUGH AGREE WITH THIS BALANCE IN ORDER TO COMPENSATE I WILL GIVE THE GHOST M4 A FIRERATE ATTACHMENT THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO SWITCH BETWEEN EITHER AUTO OR SEMI FIREMODES

Also if you disagree please say why but DO NOT use the reasons 'because I paid 187k and it's going to be useless or bars way better' because those aren't actual arguments
