it's somewhat easy to use. full auto is a double edge. it saves your mouse but you need to learn controlled burst, especially with such a small clip. time your reload is also important. having shotgun spread is a double edge too. it makes kiting easier as you don't have to aim hard and can even shoot at offscreen targets. but it also means you have to learn to control distance when you want to optimize damage output.

this gun is versatile but only mediocre in everything. you need to have another gun or two ready to handle extreme situations. so you have to remember to switch to other weapons when those situations apply. and you better keep in mind to switch back and reload the hard thorn whenever you find a moment to spare. so it's not all fool proof.
