Increasing country rifle damage

Ok it's /fine/ as it is now, but buffing it at least a bit would be beneficial. Right now, 99% of fights are people blasting sawn offs or uzis point blank while running in circles. That meta is boring and annoying, so having a good medium range weapon would make tactical and longer range combat more attractive to players

It´s called ak47/M4
Increasing the rifle damage would only add another fastswitching great damage dealer apart from the Desert Eagle.

Not all players know how to use Deagle (still they keep it  :-\). The thing Curunir mentioned, was to have a gun that has the range of M4/ Ak-47 and deals damage / shoots like deagle. Sniper work great too, but it's crosshaair design/ the way it aims is not helpful everytime. So I think there's a little buff needed to Country Rifle.

Well, those are only unlocked at late levels. By the time a new player unlocks them, they're already used to the sawn off/uzi/tec9 meta and will probably never try longer range

All the other weapons are only good short range, what's wrong with having another viable medium or long range weapon (beside the AK, M4 and sniper)? Like RedX said, the country rifle is a nice medium between AK/M4 and sniper, and is necassary to make long range gameplay viable.

Maybe fastswitching is a problem, but I doubt a small buff would make it more abused than it is right now (which is 0, never even seen somebody use it)

I will increase the damage slightly.
