I'd say the MTAR and the AN-94 are probably the best balanced ARs in the game, and I'm not sure what the consensus of the MTAR is but I also don't understand why people wouldn't like it (apart from its crappy ironsights).

The FAL is just exploited and used with full auto. The SMR is far too inaccurate. The Scar-H does too much damage given that it's recoil is very manageable. The Peacekeeper is a hybrid that's reasonably well balanced but suffers at the range of the MTAR and AN-94. The SWAT is inconsistent. The M8A1 is well balanced (adding recoil when it's full auto is what should have happened to the FAL) but suffers from burst fire syndrome in that the amount of hits registered is beyond laughably poor. The M27 is fine, like a near-balanced ACR 6.8. The Type 25's recoil comes from bizarro world.
