If they made this game realistic, people would favor the best weapons. The M82 would almost always one-shot, the SCAR-H for it's low recoil for 7.62, ANY shotgun (especially the AA-12) for their range/power.

People would never use many of the guns. So, they toned some down, while toning some up. They also chose not to tone some down that needed it (SCAR-H).
