What is your opinion on the gun? A lot of people say that it is overpowered and that it needs to be nerfed. I personally have never used the gun but I see a ton of people using it with the 4x scope and magnum ammo.

It's overpowered, and I say this as a fellow medic.
 
I don't use it out of sheer self-respect.

I don't like it with 4x, seems to jump too much, but I don't use 4x much at all anyhow. 
 
Using one of the sights is a must because it's only downside is an awful ironsight. 
 
It's pretty overpowered, but one could say that most of the other guns are underpowered.

Its pretty damn overpowered. Doesn't take much to snipe someone across the map with it and a 4x scope.

Yup, it seems that only 3 or 4 bullets need to hit to take a guy down. I hear that they are going to nerf it soon.

It's definitely extremely powerful. 

It's clearly too powerful. In close combat it deals more damage than an MG3 (the last, fastest firing gun for medics). It should simply not be that powerful. 

I swear I've been 1-shotted by that gun, without a headshot, from full health. Anyways, I've heard rumors about the M60 nerf patch, but does anyone know the original souce for that rumor? I'm curious how muchy longer it's going to take.

It deserves an 1887 treatment.

It is pretty powerful. But it's the only thing a Medic has after all. Engis have their RPG, Recons have C4 or Mortar, Assault have C4, 40mm or Shotgun. I just use it because all the other guns (especially the last one) just suck. I need to drop the enemies quickly so I can revive the fools that died.

I attempted to go for all bronze stars on the weapons but after unlocking all Medic Stuff I'll just go for the M60 Platinum Star. I use Recon too from time to time, mostly with Shotgun, Slugs and Magnum or the SVU with 4x scope and Magnum. I hate long distance, because of the fog the put on all the maps ^^ so I just go a little closer even as Recon

I feel the M60 is slightly overpowered, at least in comparison to the other LMGs. Either it's overpowered or all its brothers are underpowered. I also heard that it is being nerfed. Maybe it's true...

It's my favorite weapon to use, I love it

Medics should not really have any good offensive weapons at all imo, they can already heal and revive squadmates which are pretty much the most powerful abilities in the game. Then they get the best automatic gun in the game as well? Imba. It would be like if the medic in TF2 also got the Heavy's main weapon in addition to their healing ability. 

It's definitely overpowered, but I still use it.  Though once I get platinum for that I'll switch to another LMG.

haven't unlocked it yet, only played 5 hours, but i do get killed by it alot :)

" @Geno: I think in general the assualt rifles are better automatic weapons than the light machine guns. "

The medic class in general is an odd duck. Traditionally a player was expected to make a small sacrifice in damage dealing in trade for the extremely useful revive power. Now you get revive and an assault rifle with a bottomless magazine.

The LMGs have the same DPS as assault rifles, and have a much larger clip and are better at sniping. I've been killed by them from all the way across the map, at sniper distance where I get +173 marksman score for headshots. It's ridiculous. If assault didn't have 40mm nades, they'd be completely redundant.  "

" Someone posted all the weapon stats before.   And I do notice that a lot of medics use that gun to kill me. And even snipe with it.  "

Need to be nerfed, most of my deaths come from this gun.

Assault is just as good at distance as the LMGs. Positive thing about the LMGs is the big clipsize, although once you have to reload (and if you're like me you use the Tracer as secondary) you're pretty much dead. But you can't walk with the LMGs. It just sprays everywhere if you do. You can with the Assault Rifles though.

John Rambo used it, I use it.
 
'Nuff said.

A tweet from one of the devs said that the M60, m1911, and AA guns were being rebalanced soon. M60 will obviously be nerfed.

Don't care about damage, but I personally think that almost every LMG is way too accurate. Hate the fact that M60 is the best sniper in the game. Unlocked PP-2000 yesterday and that thing is also overpowered, atleast compared to the other submachine guns. It is very accurate and you can take down enemies with 5-8 bullets.

 Well, the trade off is ZERO explosives. Can't take out cover or damage vehicles. Medic is my least played kit (still at about 200k XP) for just that reason. "

I use it with the 4x scope and magnum ammo,and I rape with it. 
The first shot always connects,no matter what. 
Second shot brings him to like 30 health. 
Then hold the trigger and lol. 
But I use it when I want too piss off the enemy,or when I want to entertain myself.Also,in hardcore it's a meat grinder.

Carl Gustav > M60

Just unlocked the gun today and I must say it is overpowered....I was absolutely dominating people with it.

The smoke grenade? .....god thats gotta be amusing to see that pop up on your kill screen.

Same. I love the medic class but this gun is just plain stupid overpowered. I don't use it out of self-respect. "

I hope they don't nerf it soon....I just started to use the gun and I want to experience its power for at least a little bit!

Yeah it'll cause some heat, no doubt. You bring the dogs and I'll bring the marshmallows. Should be a good show. "

Very overpowered, that, and the 1911 pistol. The Gustav is powerful, but I love using it, and I don't necessarily think it is cheap.

They need to decrease the damage and the accuracy should be absolutely terrible if you hip fire.  Also I think they should probably increase the amount of time in between reviving teammates.  I think that would offset a lot of the issues people have with medics.
