I'm not sure what kind of 'real-life experience' you have, or what you consider to be a lot of guns that you've 'handled'. The M4 shouldn't be the most powerful rifle in any game. Realism points? Ok. I had to shoot a dog in the head with my M4A1 twice, and even then it lived for 45 minutes until our relief showed up. Luckily one of them had an M9 and they shot it in the chest which finally killed it. Maybe rabie infested Afghan dogs are just that badass, I'm not sure. What I do know, is that 5.56 is not a powerful round in any way shape or form. How is plastic hard to maintain? Plastic doesn't rust, metal does. Either way you would have to clean just like anything else, metal or not, there isn't much of a difference as far as weapon maintenance goes. Also, Gen 3 and newer Glocks all have a rail system. I lol'ed at the next part, "You can choose flashlight or laser in real life as an underbarrel item, not both." Not only are there grips with lasers in them that you can buy but I took the 2 seconds on google I needed to get you a link for an EOTech flashlight/laser combo. http://www.opticsplanet.com/insight-technology-x2-laser-sub-compact-tactical-laser-flashlight.html?gclid=CNzk8P-4w7YCFSQl4godJzcAgg&ef_id=UQVeLwAABNYzLwnx:20130411202344:s It even has free shipping. By the way, it's the Browning 'Hi Power' and it's a 9mm. There is nothing intense about shooting a 9mm. Whatsoever. At all. The Python is .357 Magnum which still isn't anything outrageous. Maybe you just have weak wrists, I don't know. I literally made an account on this website so I could respond to this post. That's how ridiculous it is. You don't have to lie to be cool dude.
