Ammo consumption has no effect on weapon balance; if the AUG & FAMAS both came with a single, 20-round magazine, they would only be outclassed by the Stoner63 and rarities like the Skorpion and M60. Really, the fact that uses ammo as fast as it does with its stopping power is the reason it's overpowered.
