It is the only weapon that can do that, it should be a bit stronger than the cr without headshots at any distance, so that there are at least two weapons that can prevent a runaway fc. It has a max of 90 damage now, you can't call that overpowered.
The reduced laser force should make getaways more difficult, so that there is not a need for some kind of uber-blaster like the Nex.
But if lone flag carriers are still too strong, then that is a separate issue. Taking out an escaping enemy should be about skill, teamwork and using whichever weapon or weapons makes sense for that situation, not needing to use the cheat rifle supreme to handle the situation for you. That's just bad balance.
But if you are talking about killing a flag carrier at long range, well then whatever weapons are used for that should be good at long range and certain situations, not every range and every situation. That would mean reverse falloff for the Nex or using the Rifle and TAG Seeker instead for example.
