Looking at the stats, I don't really see any reason to switch? Feels like each gun has maybe one stat that's .1 second better. So is it ever really noticeable?

So is there any real point in choosing a different gun?

Bluntly, this is our vision. If we made a weapon function differently for the sake of differentiation alone, then what we would do is alienate individuals from using those guns.

We've done this before, where a gun would have more recoil but a faster ADS purely for the sake of being different, despite the fact they were the same platform, same round, just with different appearances. It just felt wrong.

The big differences come with weapon size : caliber, or rate of fire. Of course a lot of the guns perform slightly differently, but our intent is to let players enjoy the weapons (especially if they own one themselves)!
