That's why medics/scouts are never standing still when nail gunning an sg, they zig-zag until they're close enough to circle strafe the thing. It actually takes a degree of skill to accomplish this. But others who don't know about it or can't do it, just think the sg is pure fail because they don't understand the trick involved.

People who charge it in a straight line die very quickly.
Yeah, I very quickly learned to zigzag and circle strafe. And half the time I still get killed by one of the engy's teammates.
