The only time I wouldn't have a problem with prohibiting a specific weapon is when the weapon in question is truly gamebreaking, à la M26 DART (in case you don't know, because of a glitch you could literally snipe people with an underbarrel shotgun; each pellet had the damage value of an assault rifle bullet). But the whole "No M16A3/AEK-971/whatever-is-the-most-popular-weapon-currently" thing is ridiculous.
