(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok I don't no how true this is so don't take it as gospel and I coudn't find a thread on here on this so thought it needed discussing.

Anyway I was just listining to the painkiller allready podcast and they were discussing how Treyarch are considering bringing the clip size of the Ak74U down to 20 to bring it in line with all the other SMG'S

what's everyone's views on this do you think if they bring the clip size down to 20 a lot less people will start using this weapon,
will you still use it if it goes down to 20?
if you use this gun all the time will you go with another smg or switch to an AR?
what attachment would you use on it if ammo was reduced?
would you use extended mag's on it to make up for the lack of ammo
what perks would you use with it?

Haxor!
The problem is its not overpowered, but over used. This is because people do well with it so they stick with it.

People don't like going 10 kills 20 deaths with an M60 when they can go 20kills 10 deaths with AK74u.

20 rounds per clip would be good. This may encourage people to use other weapons.

People need to get over things, really. People will use any excuse as to why the die in this game. Noobtubes are finally not overpowered and overly abusable but people STILL CRY. "Nerf the Knife, nerf the 74u, FAMAS, etc"

The reload time of the 74u is like 1 sec with SOH so even if you do that, people can reload.

If they nerfed the gun, more people will just use the FAMAS or AUG more and then people would say that is overpowered.

It's an overused gun, and that's about it. It's dangerous upclose and medium which is what an SMG should be.

Like I said I haven't even bought the gun in my last 2 prestiges but some of you should grow some balls, play the game, accept a challenge and stop trying to ask TreyArch to help you from dying so much.

If your K/D is below .70 then trust me, it's not the 74u. The only thing that needs to be nerfed is the Strela. I'm sick of these 3-15 crybabies shooting me down early. Although I've figured out how to stay in the Chopper a little longer.


you make a good argument until you cry about the strella.

how hard is it to kill a stationary target out in the open that gives you 3 seconds of alarm to let you know your being aimed at.
its easy, rape until your being locked on, shoot the noob, rape again,
if you cant, then use dogs @ same time

back on topic, IMO the 74u is fine, i haven't used it for over 6 prestiges now unless picked of the floor, if you get killed by it at long/mid range, you we're out-played.
if your killed by it @ close range, just wow, what did you expect its a SMG, if you was sporting and using properly a SG or MP5k/MPL you would've dropped him before he could pull the trigger, well nearly.

None of the guns are overpowered. Only, as other users have stated, over used guns. Even if i thought something was overpowered i would just use it and not complain :bro:

I also said I figured out how to prevent getting shot down early. I even made a thread giving tips because it is easy to shoot them. When they respawn I kill them again. I get the majority of my CG kills from Strela users.

I was mostly "crying" because I hate when people who suck shoot me down. But it usually makes me beast more. I was mostly saying crying about some gun being "overpowered" is lame. A better reason to cry is when you earned a CG and then get shot down by some bum who's 3-15....The majority of the time I stay in the CG a little while, but sometimes you get taken out before you can get them.

wow somebody that finally speaks sense! the ak74u is not overpowered at all. Yes its the best smg in the game, but compared to the assault rifles its nothing. The only possibly overpowered gun in this game is the g11. The other smgs other than the 74u need a slight boost to be able to compare to the assault rifles imo, the 74u is popular because it is the only gun that can compete with them. I am prestige 11 and havnt used the 74u for about 5 prestiges, it is well outclassed by the famas which you get at level 14.

Enough people don't use the G11 and up close it can be difficult. I guarantee you if more people started using it, we'd get more overpowered arguments...Which just proves that when something gets overused then people call it "overpowered"
