Scope is for targets you can't see clear with iron sight... I have been using the AN94 since I unlocked it. There was time it was good and time it was bad, so I know it really well. I spent a few hours this morning using PP2000 by chances and it was so damn easy to handle. Seriously, every bullets were registered and i felt my bullets actually reached targets unlike the "current" AN94. Even before the An94 was nerf it was not this good. SMG use smaller bullets that's why it has so many bullets, smaller bullets = lost accuracy when shot long range targets.
But many of the SMG's in the game have smaller magazines than their assault rifle counterparts. Also as a rule, they don't always have "smaller" bullets, in fact in "real life" (so I assume in the game?) SMG's often have larger bullets, most assault rifles in the world today either have 5.56mm or 7.62mm rounds, the British Army's main SMG is 9mm, the main reasons why the SMG lacks the power is bullet composition, general ballistics, length of barrell etc etc. Noone needs me to tell them that generally the SMG is designed for the CQB, I cannot speak for the US Forces but CQB to me is 50M and less, if you cannot drop an enemy in 2 rounds within the range of activity then you should not be using the weapon, that is where games will always be a little unrealistic.... anything above 50M is Assault rifle territory..... so why do SMG users in game wonder why it can take so many rounds to drop a moving target at 200m?
When I first joined the Army (a long long time ago), before I was even allowed to hold a weapon, we had to undergo heaps of weapon capability demo's, one was with an old Stirling 9mm SMG, the weapon was mounted for the demo, a tent was erected 100m away and sprayed with water to soak the canvas, a 34 round magazine was then emptied at the tent......... not one single round penetrated it.......... Crap weapon! No actually pretty good at 50m or less
