Is Chicago Sweeper Worth It?

Worth it with Infinite Ammo and All Upgrades

Chicago Sweeper is good to have when fully upgraded and with infinite ammo as it can easily shred enemies, elite and bosses, in battle. It has good recoil as well compared to other SMGs, which is a high factor for accuracy, in the game.
