It has great damage, agility, and accuracy, which sounds like a killer combo in any situation, but it does have some weaknesses. Most pertinent being effective range and rate of reload.

I rarely play against this weapon but counters would probably be to play the long range card. stay out of it's range and fire from afar, choosing an assault or heavy weapon with long range.

a less effective but still viable counter would be to exploit it's slow rate of reload, either sitting back or strafing until finding the opportunity to shoot them while they are reloading. It's a pocket pistol on steroids. But I'm with you on the night screech not being too op. It does deal high damage for its size and is a beast at close range. I don't think it can do too much damage out of shotgun range. This weapon got spammed so much when it was a prize it felt so op cuz almost everyone that killed you had this itty bitty gun. Of course on big maps like Royal Garden they get sniped pretty easily cuz of its short range. Reloading took a while longer than some weapons and could cost the player. Felt good to blow one up every once in a while with the DBC.
