There are a few guns that have been incorrectly categorized for a long time. They should finally be rectified and placed where they belong
The Federov Avtomat is an automatic rifle. It is not an assault rifle. It is a select fire gun chambered in a rifle cartridge. You may say that it’s chambered in a weak 6.5 Arisaka so it doesn’t matter, but the Type Hei is exactly the same and it’s an automatic rifle. You would never say to change the Type Hei to an assault rifle too because then Japan would lose it’s only high tier rifle when it’s facing T20 Garands.
The Gorov LMG is a machine gun. For no reason they made it a semi-auto rifle
The M2 Carbine is an assault rifle. We have already established that .30 carbine is an intermediate round. The M2A1 Carbine, M44 Hyde, and Thompson .30 are all automatic weapons chambered in .30 and they are all Assault weapons
The Gewehr 43 Kurz is an assault rifle. It uses Stg magazines
The Yazikov SMG is a SMG. It is not a pistol sidearm
The Sawed-off Shotgun that was recently added should be a primary shotgun weapon, currently it’s a side arm

technically only thing stopping Federov being a AR is that it uses 6.5 arisaka that was designed as rifle round.
Nothing else, other than it fits perfectly to intermediate cartridge category.
Its just large pistol round, nowhere even remotely close to intermediate cartidge.
Then why does it get to enjoy the damge of a full power round and not intermediate?
So you are saying that the M2 is just an SMG then?
Just because it’s an underpowered rifle cartridge doesn’t make it not a rifle cartridge
False, it was specifically made to be a “light rifle round”/carbine round, pretty much nobody in their right mind actually categorizes it as a pistol cartridge…
He is, and he’s wrong
To me it seems to have ~15 while BA’s have +20
Id say its carbine as it name states
So rifle round cant be intermediate because rifle round, but just lenghtened pistol round is intermediate round because ?
You cant really eat the cake and have the cake.
So do we give the stg full power damage aswell as it contains the word gewehr?
pretty much, its more like an obese smg than an actual assault rifle, like the kiraly SMG
Yeah, but then they would have to change the Soviet Yazikov smg as well, as it is also carried as a side arm, and this I wouldn’t be in favor of. I like them both where they are.
Truly a terrible post.
Basically just “let’s take away any uniqueness from GO weapons for which people paid for”.
We can look at it as there is a difference between a submachine gun and machine pistol/ pistol carbine. (Funny enough that Germany called their smgs machine pistols). A machine pistol/ pistol carbine is literally based on an actual pistol
SMG
Pistol Carbine
Now the Yazikov is not based on any pistol, but it does look pistol-like
However I would say that since the Yazikov isn’t based on a pistol, then it does belong to the smg family
