I thought it was a reasonable assumption since we're talking about a game, but OK, now I know what you meant.

: We have a new model of submachine gun. I imagine that it will behave
: similarly to one of the previous iterations of the M7. But if it's not
: called something like the M7B SMG or the M84 PDW, then it's a visual
: retcon on par with the Grunts, Jackals, and the Chief's armor.

I agree there, based on what people have said in this thread and the fact the model number tends to change every game anyway.

: I'd hazard a guess that the new furniture hides a completely different model
: of gun. Again, appearances can be deceiving: The AN-94 may look like a
: Kalashnikov with a few extra bits, but no part of the firing mechanism is
: actually interchangeable with the Kalashnikov family.

: : OK I zoomed in, you mean those bumps in a line near the front? Would those be
: : as un-useful as they look?

: Yes and yes.

hmm :/

: It is kind of strange when they could omit one barrel and turn it into a
: revolver-style rocket launcher.

Do those exist in shoulder-fired versions?
