“No, the Anchor is a generalist weapon, as is the GD-whatever. The EM6 is also a generalist.

The EM1 is a suppression weapon.”

The EM1 is in no way a competitor to the Carv or Orion.

The EM6 is to the Carv in Trac-5 vs Merc way - that is the Carv is better in CQB, but the EM6 is better a longer range.

The GD-22 is these days just a poor Anchor really.

The Orion can be used at close range and medium range, even long range with burst fire. It is relatively easy to do so, and the weapon handles as you'd expect.

The SAW, conversely, has a punishing RoF and CoF bloom that make missing shots death sentences, and only good players (read; not new players) can make it work up close with headshots. The SAW is also not good when firing on the move, and is heavily reliant on good allies to screen you.

The SAW is not user friendly, the Orion is. This is what makes the Orion a generalist weapon and the SAW a specialist weapon.

Though I prefer the Orion as it works better for me, the SAW is still absurdly powerful in the right hands, like the Reaper.”

I'm unconvinced the NC6 SAW has any real advantages over the EM6 or Anchor in most situations, long range where you can be stationay, perhaps, but then really is a LMG the right choice for that environment anyway.

I'd still take it anywhere over the EM1 though.
