1.1 Sniper messed up

[Stupefy]

the SMG still has the big bonus of making your opponent's screen go all funkyshiz when you spray at their faces

How is that myth still being perpetuated??

Now hang on there, are you sure it's a myth? By far SMG's biggest advantage is making it VERY difficult to react to the SMG-user if he sprays you right in the face. It's what makes the SMG one of the most "safe" weapons to use for CTF, you can run away backwards while throwing off the aim of those chasing you.
It's either "shaking" the screen of the target or making it very difficult to aim back, but from my experience it's definitely no myth.
