I know there have been numerous rate the **** thread..
but I don`t think there was one for Hornet, one of most underused and questionable Rare weapon in ME3 MP.

I think I used it total of less than 5 times... because everytime I give this weapon a go, it always reminds me why I hate it so much.

This gun.. is all about recoil.
I really cannot get a hang of this weapon.. even if I use it on my Turian soldier..

With 10 being the maximum score

I think I will rate it 4/10.

It`s not weak... but it often performs far below other uncommon SMGs in my hand.

Some people consider it the second best SMG, with Hurricane being the best.

Personally I think that the Hurricane is the only good SMG. All others are weak/subpar (compared to other weapons).

Compared to the other weak SMGs (non-Hurricane ones), 8/10. Compared to all the guns, 5/10.

Within it's class, I would rate it 8/10, maybe 7/10. It's great if you learn to control the recoil and close in to headshot mooks.

Have to have stability from some source, stability weapon mod for example, and a fast trigger finger. If you can spam a mattock, you can spam this. I don't dislike it at all, but I do dislike the requirement that you have the stability mod since I've stopped using it on everything else.

If you shoot from the hip, the recoil is negligible. It's only pretty decent if you go for headshots only.

Carry a back up for bosses.

Before Earth weapon mods, it was at least 7.5/10. Precision weapon, good at all distances, excellent transition game, encouraged good cover habits. Suffered a bit against armor, recoil took some getting used to, hard to use on the move, semi-auto.

After Earth weapon mods, 9/10 and maybe slightly higher. Stab and pen mods made this weapon even better. All of its weaknesses, as long as you can manage to click rapidly for sustained DPS, were removed by those additions.

I really don't understand the hate for it.

'cept for the Argus I generally dislike burst fire weapons. Against Collectors the Hornet sucks a bit. For the recoil, its damage is underwhelming. One of the more painful challenges to do for me.

If you're not using it on a Turian or with the recoil mod/gear, you should be hipfiring it. Recoil is pretty easy to control when you do.

It's a very nice caster weapon or sidearm, packing good damage and DPS for its weight. It is essentially an improved, pocket sized Vindicator.

The addition of the recoil damper and hvb mods for SMGs has done wonders for this gun too.

Its only real flaw is that it competes with the Hurricane, and the Hurricane is a pretty clear winner in every way.

8/10
Would bang.

Second best SMG, tied with the CSMG.

I like it a lot actually. Recoil doesn't matter at close range, and it does pretty good damage. The recoil isn't that bad at long range when you're in cover, and you've adjusted to it.

I have a hurricane though, so it's a nice paperweight now.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Its got good power, beats most AR's. Its got great range, The weapons weight makes it perfect for any class/character.

The only knock against it for me is its clip size, a wee bit small.

A lot of people will complain abouts its recoil, But they are using it wrong. You don't zoom in with it. You spam the trigger and press slightly down on the right stick so the shots stay on target.

It's a good gun if you can manage the recoil.

It's pretty good, just use a stability consumable. Surprsingly good damage. I prefer heatsink+extended barrel mod-wise.

I think getting used to is the big catch.
Learning to use this weapon properly take time... and the process is quite frustrating as the gun tends to be inaccurate and runs out of ammo fast in inexperience hand.

I can't stand burst fire anything - so long as it features an artificial delay between bursts.
(If you can mash fire and make it go like full auto, then it's all right.)

The delay is too disruptive for my taste.

That said, out of all burst fire guns in the game, it's probably the only one I'll tolerate - just because it's rather good for the weight.

I'd give it a 7 or 8 but has an annoyance/disruption factor which would bring it down to a 5 ish.

It would be higher if it wasn't for so many shotguns being down right awesome by comparison.

10/10 if used with correct mods and gear.

Compared to other SMGs: 6/10 - it's a meh kind of weapon; when it works it's beautiful, but when it doesn't I die.

Compared to other weapons: 2/10 - I could work the Avenger better with better results, but that's just me. If it had zero recoil, that gun would be amazing.
