    Weird thought: Extended magazines are part of the problem

    Something i constnatly complained was the fact that the game is balanced around always having extended magazines no matter what so enemies values are balanced around max DPS in perfect conditions for weapons with large magazine.

    I hardly touch the extended mags.

    My Favourite AR in the game is the Classic FAL (20 round MAG) they are not essential to have, it's just people get drawn to them.

    Saying that though My Dual LMG build has the Extra mags my Stoner has 325 rounds in it's mag, but I hardly use them all.

    I actually had a similar thought just last night. I was taking an alt through the NY campaign and was modding an AR that I got out of my stash when she hit 40. I realized that for vast majority of guns there was no way that I would even consider using something in that slot that wasn’t the biggest extended mag I had for it.

    The FAL is another whole can of worms balance wise but the small magazine with lower damage than AK is part of the problem
