Good points but im not sure the extra .05 sec ads, smaller mag and the AR's apparent need for a grip is enough of a setback.
I am biased because the Vepr is my main smg and i just don't notice that extra .05 secs since the ttk is so good, similar to the Rippers. The mag size of the Ripper is the same as the Vector and K7. The K7 has the third fastest RoF.
I have no idea about damage and drop-off, but we are looking at possibly the most accurate smg (hip fire is great too) and in the top 3 ttk. Its a good smg that perhaps falls a little short on range - but guess what.. its an AR too !! People would be wise to use the grip for the ARs sake.
Im not screaming op or really saying its op but the whole hybrid thing has me scratching my chin. For me it fills a huge gap in my smg play. Of course it does.
Watch how fast (not RoF) and accurate the AR is aswell in this randomly selected Ripper gameplay ;
