FG always beats KE7 at every range assuming equal skill due to superior fire rate in close (even with a fully upgraded KE) and bipod making it a lazer at range anyway. Only downside is 5 less rounds in the mag, but much faster reload more than makes up for this.

FG’s recoil isn’t a problem. Is mostly vertical which is easier to control, and I take the left path for hipfire which makes it even less of an issue. Can run 3x no problem although I prefer irons for faster sight in time.
