The only way you will reliably be able to use a scout rifle is if you find out the real name of whoever you're playing against and call them up and ask them to politely to stand still while you shoot them in the face over and over so you can get Randy's throwing knife and then never use a scout rifle again. The handling sucks, the range is abysmal for a scout, and the damage output is worst of all. I'd rather scoop my own eyeballs out than be FORCED to go through this hell. But I suppose that's just the way it is huh?

Scouts are great on maps designed for them. Rusted Lands, Midtown, Widows Court. Nothing wrong with them at all, just there are a lot of maps in rotation that lend themselves to mid range weapons like pulses and autos. Scouts aren't the problem. You using them wrong is.
