I dont wanna use certain skins, and often think that basic is better, but now, as my focus changed, idc about any other thing than my crosshair and aim, any skins that I used it doesnt matter (except elderflame) and if I happen to pick a gun from the ground, I sometimes dont realize that it was the skins that I used to dislike from any perpective and I still do the calm aim, so

for me the weight of the gun is the opposite for me. the heavier guns with bassy sound have a lot of recoil, similar to the odin or heavy machine guns, so the lighter guns feel more accurate, like the prime vandal
