It's an M4 with similar or slightly higher damage (I forget which it was on the config) and a larger mag size at the cost of handling and movement speed. It has a niche in defensive use that snipers cannot do better and that's holding a position against multiple pushing enemies when you don't have the cover, the time or the aim to play peek-a-boo. You have the mag size to prefire, you have the mag size to spray down multiple enemies in a very short amount of time and you have the mag size to fire speculative shots into well placed smokes without needing to reload if someone pushes.
It's trash as a clutch retake rifle, a flankers weapon or a lurker weapon but it still has a niche and it's far from useless at it.
