Den, do you have stats on the time to change to 40mm attachments on the different rifles? It seems to me like the AEK / AN94 swap to the 40mm faster then the M16 / M4 since they don't pull up that extra iron sight.
I'm trying to figure out the best support rifle to use when going primarily 40mm shotgun. Ideally it would have excellent iron sights (so I don't have to waste a spot on optics to enable light pack), manageable recoil for engaging targets at a medium to long range, and a high ROF for swapping out after my 40mm is expelled against multiple targets.
So far I've landed on either the AEK or the Aug and still need to test the XM8. Sounds like the XM8 is probably better then the Aug given your other weapons post but I just need to test it in my hands.
Thanks! You're my bro, bro.

The difference in attachment raise time, if it exists, would seem extremely tiny, maybe tenths or hundredths of a second. That said the XM8's visual animations always appear supernaturally fast when compared to the other assault rifles so it could be possible. My preference on ARs are the M4, AEK, XM8--irrespective of your attachments or specs, those rifles are intensely practical. The AN and M16 despite their empirical strengths feel strangely remote and out of my control.
According to Den's chart, the AUG is, amazingly, made redundant by the M4 on every metric.
This game makes no sense.

For me, handling characteristics and iron sights are the most important factors for my rifle since I'm using it essentially as a secondary. (similar to how you would use your pistol when you have a combat shotgun). This is followed by kit change time from 40mm and back (if there is a difference) then DMG/ROF.
I've always overlooked the Aug based on the chart because it has more kick and the same amp as the M4. However, to me visually it looks like it has less kick and slightly less amp. I was very surprised when I decided to try it just to see what the iron sights looked like lol. (albeit not as good as the M4)
If I were to rate the guns based on Iron sights I'd say worst to least:
M16 AN94 XM8 AUG M4 AEK
I don't know where the F2k fits in yet as that has been another gun I've avoided because of the stats lol.
