That is a tradeoff for design reasons. It used to be 1 ammo for focused shot, but with half the ammo. It was changed to make the gun more balanced and ammo efficient. Think of it like this. It’s not using double the ammo when shooting focused shots. It’s using half the ammo when not shooting focused shots.

But it uses a whole shot. The whole drawback of focused shots is that you have to let your shot charge instead of just firing off like a ninny with a roman candle. That delay is the trade off.

The only reason it has the higher ammo count it does now, is because the change made it use two shots. You’d have around half the ammo, if it hadn’t been changed. The difference there is negligible, really.

How about instead of the whole focused shot thingie, you split the weapon into two guns, m1k is a single shot high damage weapon while a new one is a bolt action.

I really don’t think introducing a new gun solves anything, since we’d have to change a lot of stuff to accomodate that.
