I hear everyone talk about the scar light or "nub" light or whatever. I just don't get it. -Shrug- The scars are ok but they're nothing special. I'd say most of the guns are pretty balanced but it's more about who's using them rather than what they are.

It's just that the Scar-Light (Heavy is fine) has literally no recoil. Add this in with other great stats including fast reload, low weight, fast firing rate and high power and this gun just becomes too easy to use well: it gets to the point where you can kill people with one quick burst to the body at medium to long range, making bodyshotting with the SL a huge advantage over other assault rifles. It also makes headshotting incredibly easy since you shoot 4-5 or more shots right where you're crosshair is, as opposed to 2-3 maximum with other guns, while still giving you enough power to do 100 damage with a single bullet. Basically, it's just too easy to use this gun compared to all other assault rifles, so it's deemed overpowered.

The M12 on the other hand doesn't have quite as good recoil reduction, but up until about the 10th shot, the bullet spread is close enough together to hit a human sized target at a fairly long distance. And since the M12 loses much less power over distance than other SMG's (although it keeps SMG's great maneuverability mind you), it can kill better than assault rifles at most ranges, even while moving around like a madman so you can't be hit yourself. Add in insane firing rate and this gun becomes way too powerful. With half decent aim you can strafe left to right with just your head sticking out above a wall and spray someone down from full health in a few seconds, while they basically try to headshot someone running around like they're holding a knife, while being shot at. Not an easy task. This is also done with SL's because of their light weight and low recoil.
