Can someone ELI5 something to me regarding Medic complaints...

They have neither long, nor short range.

Sturmgewehr and STG are both great close range. The M1A1 got nerfed I believe but is still great, as is the semi auto Gewehr variant. Both are still great at long range (When I say long I mean 200m max, 50m min I would think, though I'm not too great at judging distance)

In short range, the only assault weapon that ever wins against any medic weapon is the STG 1-5 against the MP34

I'll admit when I'm wrong and say I probably just thought that because I pretty much only use MP34 and theres a lot of STG going around. My bad on that.

It's not a problem because you don't ever need, nor want, to shoot at mid range anyway

Actually, while following up on squad mates (usually on Aerodrome or Hamada) I often find myself wishing I had a better weapon for long range engagements, or at the very least the option. There have been many times where I've seen a friendly die and I would like to kill the person shooting rather than try to revive, particularly when the enemy is spraying into my smoke with an MMG.
