This. ATM the F1 is just mostly a worse Ingmar. I rarely see experinced players even use it. Even when there's no mid range weapons left, people will opt to just use a close range weapon and make it work.
It takes a quarter of the inigmars mag to kill a attacker with chest shots, it takes the F1 nearly half its mag
The F1 only deals 5 more damage then the inigmar. Meanwhile, the inigmar is straight up full auto
The F1 is a mid to long range gun with irons. The inigmar is a mid to long range gun with a clean scope.
I personally think it should just straight up be replaced with something else, but since that's probably 100% out of the cards, i'll instead just ask that it has a good low to mid magnification scope.
That should help it atleast have SOME purpose to the defender economy.
