I’d say no, although the Striker with the damage perk is pretty nasty. It still doesn’t do squat to anything outside of range. If you play to the weapon’s strengths and stay away from its limitations, it will serve you well.

I try my best to not play the game, because it’s a pretty big noobfest with questionable connections and netcode, but I’ve been bouncing around with the MP-7 a lot these days.
