the pocket is (was), thus far, the only exotic that really felt right. imo, exotic should not mean 'best' it should mean unique, strange... exotic. the pocket functioned differently than any other fr. it required different tactics, but offered new opportunities. the change should have preserved the uniqueness. up the recoil, lower the max ammo count drop, the chance of returning ammo to mag on missed shots. In it's current form, the gun is just dissatisfying.
