User blog comment:Geekius Maximus/Anyone notice weapon anachroism?/@comment-2224625-20110922025756

Lucas88bam is correct. I would rather have my video games set on a historic backdrop with 100% accuracy in weapons and technology for that time. the FAMAS is a good example, and I am glad he brought that up. Black Ops is full of anachroisms like that, many which I failed to adress in the original blog. For example, the Steyr AUG was not developed until later, and neither was the Kiparis, the ASP, the Galil (and furthermore, its an Israeli weapon, which would almost never fall into the hands of the Soviets), the RPK, the AK-74u, the SPAS-12, the MAC-11, the CZ75, the PSG-1, the WA-2000, the L96A1 (officially known as the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare rife), the Enfield (actually an SA80), or even the KS-23. The M16A2, the first to offer the Three-Round Burst, never came out until after Vietnam, so it would still be the M16A1 variant. Campaign got that correct, but Multiplayer didn't, and neither did Zombies. Obviously, the only real inaccuracy in MW series was the RPD and the lack of the Makarov PM for Enemy factions.
