One thing about FPS games, that's not entirely realistic, is reloading. Let's say your Kalashnikov's clip has only a few bullets left, and you start reloading. Now, an enemy jumps around the corner, laughs at you reloading. Even though you removed the clip, there's still a bullet in the chamber, and your finger ready on the trigger. But no, you can't shoot, just wait for the reloading animation to finish. Meanwhile the enemy empties his clip into you, and you get to spectate for a while.

Russians, of course, didn't have machine guns in WWII, except the occasional Maxim 1910 which they mostly used to shoot cowards

But yeah, I've got myself a .54 caliber muzzle loader, and I can tell you, with a magnum load you better be ready when you pull the trigger. And smokeless powder is supposed to be a good deal more efficient than black powder too.

See, aren't nitpick threads fun? They even work for games other than TW!

They did have DP machine guns mounted on tanks and as infantry support weapons, and some predecessors of the NSV. But anyways, have you ever played a FPS game without boxes/crates of some kind? It's just impossible.

this is something that really annoys me ...

this occurs in both CoD 4 and CoD WaW.
Grenades are very helpful in both games, but there is a fatal flaw with them. If you happen to be throwing a greande when you are killed, the grenade wont go off. apparently the stopping of the human heart stops the grenades fuse from burning completely in empathy.

I've fired my .54 Muzzle with one hand before, but I've never used magnum load.

Note: It wasnt the most comfortable feeling afterward.
