Suggestion - Allow Police to use M4

[Kulthro]

You've put a real-life difference, while here, on semi-serious community, range and bullet size doesn't matter, and for the sake of balance of government forces, which in my opinion is significant right now, police should stay away from M4s. Also, you said that M4 is an agile weapon. It might be, but not as agile as MP5 is. It weights around 7.5 lb, same goes for the AK-47, which is almost same in terms of weight. That was one of the reasons why AK was made in an AKS, AKS-74 variant. Anyways we are going too far into things that matters only in real-life, looking just on the server, i see no reasons to allow police force M4s.

The AK47 is a very bulky weapon when you place it next to a M4A1 carbine, and since these two weapons are the only ones on the server, the argument about variations is null and void.
It's insignificant because average joe can get his hands on a better rifle by walking down the street and spending some money which is the easiest thing in Fearless to obtain. I thought we were talking about the MP5 and the M4 here, not the AK47(most of the time you can't even switch parts out because they're stamped weapons.). And can you see any reasons other than previously stated (like how you think the MP5 works just fine, or that you see no reason why it SHOULD be implemented.) why it shouldn't be implemented? Clearly stated, in one sentence, so that you can help me understand your reasoning? That's like saying we've gone on like this on the server for 2 years running, so you see no reason for car headlights to be added. The primary reason that I think the M4 should be added is that it does in fact give a damage boost to the officer using it and , it does more damage than the MP5, it has a higher rate of fire, and it's just as(or moreso) accurate than the MP5, and much more accurate than the AK47. It effectively offers an advantage in a gunfight over the MP5 any time (if we don't factor the skill of the operator).

So what you're saying is, the police need an advantage over criminals. You're completely ignoring the fact that criminals usually don't roll in groups of 6, and police if they have back up can include up to 6. They don't need much of an advantage at all, considering they have the actual right to carry a weapon, making the criminal usually breaking fear RP if they even attempt to pull out a weapon to fight back against a policeman.

What i'm trying to say is, why should the police need an improvement if they can have 6 officers on the situation, and then if they're outmatched, call the SRU, which is a total of 4 Armed Soldiers, do your math that's 10, Citizens usually don't have groups of 10 people apart of one criminal organization.

An AK-47, holding 30 7.62x39mm bullets in one magazine, shooting at approximately 600 rounds a minute (fully automatic).
An Heckler & Koch MP5, holding 25-30 9x19mm Parabellum bullets in one magazine, shooting at approximately 800 rounds a minute (fully automatic).
AK-47 having a quicker reload time of approx 2.5 seconds in game..
MP-5 having a slower reload time of approx 3.0 seconds in game..
Would you look at that, an AK-47 is a bit stronger due to the reload time, and stronger bullets, but it has its weak points as the MP-5 does also.
It's not that great of a disadvantage to make a huge debate over.
As stated before: The SRU would be useless.. The MP-5 is already good enough.. If the police force acts as they're supposed to (trained and accurate) then they should get the job done, if not, they can gain help from other government officials (SRU).
