I feel as though even though I’ve pushed very far into the net runner perk tree, my power SMG can still outpace my d5 sidewinder of the same class at any range. the targeting is mediocre at best, with like a 50% chance of the bullet actually hitting, where as the SMG has such a tight spread that its useful even at 20m ranges. I just feel like smart just sent great. what doyall think?
There are a few iconic ones that are really good, like the choi(?) pistol and the smg you can find on the Arasaka compound when you sabotage the float. The former shoots explosive rounds that usually 1-2 shot normal enemies when aiming at the head, and the latter shoots incendiary at multiple targets, especially great with the contagion hack explosive effect against groups.
