30 ammo per box? It takes 10+ shots to kill somebody if they're not good enough to get out of the way (and if they are, kiss your butt goodbye). Let's say 15 shots as you probably pump a few extra bullets into them because it takes a moment for the game to register their death. The boxes are in fact 50, not 30, so that allows you to kill 3 people, 4 if you include the clip in the gun. You might stretch this out to 5 kills, 6 would be fairly miraculous.
Compare that to the MagScatter and it's 8 deaths using only 1 box of ammo (8 deaths is based on 4+ shots per kill, btw, when you'll normally actually use 3). Compare the TTK, compare the fact that the CoF bloom is so minimal that even if somebody makes an escape move you'll drop them if you're decent and your connection is good. In a lot of case it boils down to personal preference, and obviously I prefer the MagScatter. In matters of inventory space, preference has nothing to do with it. The MagScatter has a huge advantage.
