Well, ill leave this thread to this:
The balancing of guns needs to include some philosophy. If all guns are worth they're mantle, people will buy more guns. No ones making me want to buy an Ap0 or a KSG. If I was a new player I'd never buy the m3, knowing that the regular shotgun can own it. I regret buying the mk23 and the Sten. These guns can be great and still be considered balanced. Guns not being owned by everyone for the right reasons = less gralat packs bought/gralats saved and invested.
