The perk is much more useful on primary weapons as you are not fully scoped in on people and the magnet like effect of the perk is actually quite useful (think about not missing every shot on the entire first burst on a pulse rifle - difference between winning and losing a 1v1 gunfight).

Also, no idea where I saw that, but it was months ago. I think just having hidden hand on snipers increased people's confidence, which made it seem like a great perk, when it was just a placebo effect.
From my use of the new sniper over the last week or so, I have to say I actually prefer the stock 1KYS to it, even though on paper the perks should be better.
