Weapon suggestions

[dm.mossberg590a1]

Hello, I'm new to this forum but I've been playing ACR ever since it started and I have a few things about the gameplay I would like to share. I really like the semi-realistic and fast-paced nature of the game and many of the weapons really rock, but in my opinion, some weapons are really underpowered and make it hard to effectively use.

1. Benelli M4: The model is really great, but I think it might be better if there is a way to use iron sights and if there is a tighter spread for realism. To compensate for the supposed overpowered shotgun, the damage against armor might be reduced (buckshot is not good against armor), hip-firing is less accurate so people are encouraged to use the iron sights, and recoil is increased.

2. M21: This weapon is really really underpowered. It has very little power and the scope makes it really hard to place followup shots. I suggest that the scope either be removable or replace it with iron sights entirely. The Barrett and CheyTac fulfill the roles of snipers very well, and a battle rifle might balance the M21's effectiveness with the M16 and AK47 (since an AK47 with stopping power can kill in one burst). 90% of the maps are very small and the scope offers little advantage in CQB. I also would prefer it if the model was of a plain wood M14 instead of the mall ninja M21 which should take less hard-drive space being lower poly and also look nicer.

3. M16: This weapon is great, but the model is somewhat outdated and the iron sights are pretty unusual. The weapon might instead have red dot sights or EOTechs like the Scar-L model for the AK47. It would also be nice if it used a shorter M4 model.

4. Knives, Swords: When the player tries to knife somebody really close, the models clash and the knife goes through the model and does no damage.

4. Nuke suicide: Very annoying, people can log in/out and spam nukes. Nukes should only be a perk, and they should have the ability to be disabled if the person doesn't want to use the nuke.

Note that these are just my suggestions of what I would prefer when I play this game. Also I'm not sure about the mechanics of the game and if it is even possible to implement these suggestions, but I think that my suggestions might balance the weapons. Right now, from playing Multiplayer, it seems that many players stay clear of the M21 and Benelli M4s.
