User blog comment:Gershtoot/Blops PC Patch released with interesting sniper tweak/@comment-1647479-20110423171321/@comment-68.7.21.144-20110424223539

The recoil arguement is negligible, as the famas takes 3-4 shots to kill, while there is little to no recoil for 4-7 shots, therefore you can always kill somone before major recoil kicks in. If the Famas had 30-20 damage, it wouldnt be as big a deal because higher powered weapons could deal with it more quickly. I also have a question for 3arc, Why is a gun designed in the 80's in a game which takes place in 1968 in the first place?
