When I was in Japan WW2 softers used those thing stock or fired .43g. The reason being the way the weapons from that period performed lent themselves to longer distance engagements so the Added power wasn't as huge a safety concern. People with MP40's and other era SMG would tend to move forward and skirmish between each other or CQB in Buildings and different areas.

In Canada playing with people who tend to prefer modern weapons and combat I would consider that weapon marginally safe at best. Perhaps unplayable due to its size/FPS you're certainly going to be sniping from further back than other snipers.
