"Yeah, we're using weapons that were made 60 to 70 years ago in the future, and it coincidentally made it into Ghosts as well" - Do you have any idea how old the AK-47 is? Or the SA80? I know America seems to have this fetish of replacing its weapons every 5 minutes, but frankly if something functions as needed, there's no need to replace it. Things can easily last several decades purely because they fulfil the function they need to do, and while you can take about all kinds of things like RoF, or range or what have you, at the end of the day a gun is a gun, so as long as it works there's no need to change it.
