The BR is already perfectly balanced. The only reason why you have little kids whining about it being overpowered is because they started out in Halo 3.
For the people who have played the series from Halo: Combat evolved, they know that the main weapon for Halo has been decreasing in power.
Halo 1's Pistol: 3 shot from far far distances.
Halo 2's BR was actually really bad before a patch came, which made it like a beast.
Halo 3's BR was given a spread, and it had a slower rate of fire.
But I think, Halo 3's BR is perfectly balanced.
(BTW just no for your idea)
No, in no way is it balanced. Just because its better than its prior versions does not balance it.
Unbalanced List:
1. The spread actually increases the chance of a headshot, so if you ask me, its more effective that way since most br users tend to "flick" the right analog to get a spread effect so i don't see how a slight spread would have a negative effect. if anything, now its more noob friendly.
2. It has enough ammo to make three kills without a melee.
3. It is alledgely meant for medium range, but it has a fairl chance against ARs and Snipers making it the most adapabtle weapon in the game.
So how do you balance it? make it weaker (5 shot?), and give it less ammo (24) while making duals and the the AR slightly stronger.
