    the FAL, shotguns, and more guns

    Look the FAL is by far the largest caliber assault rifle there is how is the damage so low on it?

    Also, are we going to see any galils, AK-74's, FNC, G3's, Hk 416, or Sig 552's?

    Also shotguns need a serious overhaul

    There are a lot of guns in this game that are completely worthless. I mean, half the ar's have lower damage and lower rpms than the p416. Why would anyone use them. They either need a damage increase or a rpm increase to make them viable. It's not only an ar problem. There are tons of weapons like that in every weapon type that are completely useless because the meta weapon in that class is just so much better in every way.

    It's such a shame. There are so many cool weapon models that you will likely never see for more than 5 seconds, before it's sold or deconstructed.

    I think Ubi needs to improve their gun stats by also factoring bullet size (larger projectiles = more stopping power).

    I find it crazy that a 50-cal round from an anti-material TAC-50 rifle has less armor penetration than a shotgun. >_<

    I agree with the FAL it's my favourite weapon but god it's damage stats are crap. I had an AR build, and the AK-M/P416 and ACR-E all out performed it with higher base and build damage stats. I want to use it , the gun has allegro and optimist, the gun rocks but sadly the damage output lets it down so much.

    Please make it viable.

    As for shotguns I had a pure shotgun build non optimised (main SPAS-12) it had 197K damage and it's just about the only viable shotgun in the game, those guns need a serious buff along with the FAL and M16A2 (which is quite frankly an insult to that gun with it's stats in this game)

    Add in the MK20 which is also useless

    i'm not sure why they have these guns in the game
