Does the FY71 seem a little weak to anyone or is it just me? Compared to the beta and crysis 2.

As with any slower fire rate weapon, it's going to lose in a close range gun-fight to guns like the Feline, Typhoon, K-Volt, and even the Scarab (assuming equal accuracy with both players).

However, in medium - long range gun-fights, the FY71 has a significant advantage.
