Kali's CSRX is a hot mess. The launcher seems to be based on Ying's shotgun, the Crye Precision/Vantage Arms SIX-12, on its under barrel configuration, because of the shape of the trigger guard. But everything else is made of lots and lots of influences from other weapons. Johnathan would probably point that riveting the scope to the upper receiver is a bad idea, because your rifle will be useless if the scope malfunctions. Glaz's DMR is the SVU-AS, the bullpup Dragunov. Fisher's SC3000K is his custom FN F2000. Montagne's shield would be too heavy to be carried even with both hands and would not have enough thickness to withstand the power of intermediate and full size rifle cartridges. Same to Blitz, except that could be made of composite and polymers to reduce the weight and at least be able to withstand pistol caliber rounds.

@@LipColt I always wondered why Monty could carry his shield, undeployed, single-handed, but when it's in full-size mode, he simply cannot carry it anymore and has to use both hands...? Also, doesn't Tachanka (unless they've changed it at some point in the last year since I last played) use some weird hybrid DP-26 and DP-28 (?) mash-up for a deployable machinegun? I remember reading about it somewhere, and the devs gave the excuse that 'he collects historical firearms and decided to use the best parts from both guns to make a custom variant of the DP machinegun', or something like that...

The G36 did actually have a version that was delivered without the dual-sight, I'm pretty sure mostly in export to Estonia and Spain. Some of them were fitted with picatinny rails/other mounting systems on top, some of them just flat as depicted with the MG36 in this particular game.

In later Battlefields however they do give the medics LMG's though and vice versa.

That soldier also asked if he could trade me one of his German issue Uniforms for one of my ACU Uniforms, which my 1st LT allowed me to do, so I have a German issue military uniform hanging in my closet right now, which I always thought was pretty cool and something to talk about....lol.
