Gaming vs Reality (a.k.a. Flame War brewing ;P)

TBH, on a 25 meter range I have a lot better score with a 9mm beretta than a AK-22, but that probably can be because I'm a poor shot with rifles -_-.

Or they are merely creating a game that people will enjoy. When I play a game I realize I'm entering a reality that could perhaps have nothing at all to do with my own, whether it was intended to be based on mine or not. If pistols can somehow hit a target every time without the soldier trying to hard, then thats a fact of that universe, not my own.

Hey, demons don't walk across military bases, at least as far as I know :P.

Yeah, joy is the purpose of the game, isn't it? But accepting things go other way in game is called tolerance and adaptation. Kinda like 'well, that's weird but if it is so then ok'. Also, people may find things not making sense first, but then let it pass, with result that they may carry that attitude along after gaming. This is called ignorance.
Generally, I enjoy game as it is but if I can improve game and straighten these little things then I take chance and speak up.

It is not about events or belief, it is about law of nature, physics, sense of our reality..or whatever name, that thing that keeps you sane.
Potman:
If you're trying to create compeletely realistic weapons, then you have to make everything else realistic as well. It won't work otherwise. It'd be just silly, being utterly realistic in one thing and unrealistic in other.
You'ren't seeing forest out of trees: You're just talking about some silly insignificant shotgun physics and forgetting all about the fact that, in real life, you will be dead or at least crippled anyway when shot once with any kind of a gun. What happens if you made it so, that you die from one or two shots, and if you don't be killed outright, you'll receive a serious decrease in hit chance, speed, dodge chance, among other things? People will complain. They won't like it.
No realism there means no realism anywhere. Either all must be realistic, or the whole thing must be ignored in favour of game mechanics and fun. Thus, no realism.
