The gun is is simply too good.
900 rpm no recoil laser. One huge negative about m4 and hk is that the initial kick makes the first few bullets hard to control. The Val is nothing in comparison.
The gun is too cheap.
50k/80k base gun, toz mount with grip (shift) and laser, svd low and sight of your choice. 60ish ergo and no recoil. Under 130k compared to 300k+ meta m4 and hks.
The ammo is too good.
Sp-5 is already good, sp-6 is very good, spp and bp are insane, yet it's still cheaper than 995.
The only "downside" are somewhat expensive magazines and high bullet drop. But unless you're trying to kill someone 100m away there's limited impact.
Tbh, I'm kinda tired of seeing non stop Vals and VSS everywhere. I'm grew sick of using it myself a long time ago but sometimes I still go back to use it because it's too good.
