I don't know if I'm the only one to notice this, but before the auto-rifle buff to the slow firing auto rifles (I.e Suros Regime) the flinch effect had also been advanced. Perhaps it is because of the increased use of these auto-rifles since the buff, and it had always been there unnoticeable until now. All in all I feel as across the board auto-rifles are causing a little to much flinch. When I attempt to use even a primary, if I don't fire the first shot off against a Suros user, the flinch becomes so unbearable that I can't even aim head shots, basically preventing me from making any sort of comeback in a firefight. I do believe however that the auto-rifle buff was a good contribution to the game allowing for more weapon diversity across the board. With this being said I believe the "high caliber"(flinch) rounds need to be reduced to maintain that the user who fires the second shot still has a chance. This issue has always been a problem with bullet hose auto-rifles but I believe it is balanced in the sense that it doesn't do as much damage. But I do believe that the slow fires shouldn't be this powerful.
