I've finally had a chance to try out all the Reckoning weapons (having finally unlocked them all recently). BPP was the last one I unlocked and for me is the most disappointing – You can make a case for choosing any of the other Reckoning weapons as viable options but why would anyone choose the BPP over the Hurricane? The Hurricane does everything the BPP does but better, so I guess my question is:
Would you choose the BPP over the Hurricane and if so why?

It's a short ranged anti-armour SMG.
There isn't much practical reason to use it over the Hurricane because the Hurricane is one of the most OP weapons in the game.

I use it on the Vorcha Sentinel for roleplay. It's a CQC gun and it happens to be effective withing the flamer range and good vs armor. And it has that rugged feel to it.
Yeah, Hurrdurricane is better overall, but it get's boring.

It's there to stop you from having to manually insert the bullets.

If the Hurricane was nerfed or if the BPP was buffed, then the BPP would have more DPS versus Armor.
As it stands, there is literally no reason statistically to use it over the Hurricane.

It has better DPS vs armor if you can get the AP round headshots.

Which is pretty damn difficult to do, as opposed to just spraying at the target with the Hurricane.

Its just a shame that the BPP turned out the way it did, for me it offers nothing really to diversify itself from the Hurricane

I don't understand why they nerfed it as hard as they did.

They didn't nerf BPP - they buffed it. But they buffed Hurricane way more AND reduced it's recoil.

You have a better chance on landing the headshot with the ap round on something slow like a brute or a prime even. I normally never even try to land the ap headshot on mooks. Cane is only strong because it shoots two bullets with one trigger pull with a stupidly fast fire rate. I also just find the BPP a little easier to control.

SP damage 63.70 - 79.70, I'd call that one hell of a nerf. Maybe cut it by 20 - 25% but not as much as they did.

The BPP does win at sustained because of the clip size, but the Hurricane still has a bit higher burst DPS against even armour.

SP is LOL anyway. But yeah - BPP could use another 10-15% buff. Or the Hurricane should get it's recoil increased. I mean the thing is so easy to control now.

And there lies the problem, that was supposed to be the BPP's niche, it was meant to be the best SMG against armour but ultimately it isn’t . If it was the best SMG against armour but wasn’t as effective against shield/barriers. You could still make an argument for it, but as things stand the Hurricane is superior even against armour, its easier to get headshots with and is better over longer distances.

It's not that BPP is UP, it's the Cane that's OP.

True the Cane is OP but I do think the BPP should have been buffed more in terms of armour damage

BPP is underpowered except for the AP shot, which basically has to do all the work even against health enemies. It has somewhat crappy design for a weapon in MP as it has poor accuracy to do with the mediocre damage per regular shot.Air Quotes wrote...

An AP shot every 4 rounds instead of every 8 then?
