@CoD addict: Yeah, I think that's to balance the weapon, because they usually depict them as having high recoil and a wider bullet spread.

It just annoys me that people would think NATO - an organization that accounts for 70% of the world's defence spending - should adopt a weapon and cartridge used mainly by 3rd world countries and criminals.
