User blog comment:Gershtoot/Blops PC Patch released with interesting sniper tweak/@comment-1630756-20110422230802/@comment-3349991-20110423014059

Infinity Ward weakened the Model 1887 w/ Dual Wield, which was the most overpowered firearm in MW2. Look at Black Ops, Treyarch decided to give the AKS74-u more recoil when using a grip, but they refuse to nerf the FAMMAS and the AUG, which are both obscenely overpowered. When using Steady Aim, they both beat out shotguns and SMG's in close quarters, assault rifle at mid-range, and Sniper Rifles and Light Machine Guns at long range.
