Duuhhh except they can pick up the ball they just used and instantly reload Erm, not that I'm aware of. I haven't unlocked the weapon myself yet, but everyone I was playing with yesterday was remarking that they wished they could do exactly that, but couldn't. Either way, it doesn't fix the fact that you're bitching about a weapon being gimped for the class you were just before bitching about being overpowered.
