after 200 hours of Far Cry 5 I can say its in many ways a fantastic game. The music, atmosphere etc. But: Ubisoft did not finish the weapon modifications: If I put an optical aiming device on my weapon, for example the AK47, then there is still the stock iron visor on the weapon left. This is happening on nearly all rifles: While a reddot visor is attached, there is still an iron at the barrel and a folding visor or diopter visor on the visor rail.

I don't think you know guns very well. In the example of the AK, often the front site is made into the barrel and can't be removed easily. To modify this you would cut or machine it off....which kinda defeats the purpose of the AK being that it is rugged and tough, meaning you can drop it into mud, wipe it down and it will shoot forever after....most want the ability to easily switch a rifle back to iron sites if the scope fails, and to me this would be even more on point in a war or combat situation. Now for the AR versions, it depends on if you have a stock military style or the more modern civilian version, because most military styles have a fixed unchanging front site will many civilian versions have a smooth barrel for shrouds to allow different addons to be used. So having front sites on red-dots and other minor scopes is totally normal in many guns. There are some that you can take the sites, both front and rear, with nothing more than a screwdriver, and there are guns that don't come with iron-sites at all....depends on the gun.
So to my mind, it seems that Ubi-soft has done well with the realism of gun modifications and held true to real life.
