I am aware the M4 in real life is as good as some posters say but... do remember people that balance will take precedence. Personally I don't understand why they didn't have a weapon like the AK-47 be the close range blaze away gun(especially since this is in Russia). Gameplay wise & time of production wise, why bother even including the mosin or SKS if the M4 can just do everything? Especially since -those- are the guns available atm.
