SMG vs Rifles

Is it me or are the smg outshooting the rifles these days.

I have noticed that the ak/m4 seems to need to take a few more shots to kill than before. It seems that people can run around with mp9, ump, bizon and just mow someone down in 1 second flat, where if I have a rifle, I can try to move/strafe, but my recoil is much greater than the smg. So I have to limit my movement hope to get on target FAST.

Yes, perhaps I may need to warmup better, I don't play often at times and then when time does permit, I can put many hours in a few sittings.

It's something I noticed and it seems either they buffed the SMG and/or nerfed the rifles a bit.

Rifles output higher damage at a lower rate of fire so a mp can be stronger in some scenarios but usually, you can counter act this by headshots or wearing armor and staying longer range mp have a high damage drop off at distance. especially in higher "skilled" parts of the game Rifles will be mostly better than mp's.

I should mention, that this is in DM mode. Not Comp mode...

firate, acuuracy and range they differ at

smg doesnt outshoot a rifle , poor netcode , poor hitreg and cheaters do , a smg couldnt even outshot a pistol , all it would take is a well placed headshot and smg is history , but due to poor hitreg its pure luck ,and smg has higher chances for frag because of amount of bullets beeing shot and therfor higher changes of hits getting registered , even if the missed the target often

netcode makes this game all about spray and pray and less about accurate aiming which is a shame

OK well Deathmatch is lots of "close quarters combat" and "Run and Gun" so yes I would say mp's are pretty strong, plus if you aren't warmed up and not getting the headshots out when an enemy is close he will just spray you down.
