You have a point, but seeing as how DICE seems to be keeping the model of 2 weapons per class, a shotgun, and a PDW for DLC weapons, where else would it go? We know the MTAR is now a Carbine, the JNG-90 is the bolt-action sniper, the AUG and SCAR-L are Assault weapons, and the ACW-R is used by the Engineer. Plus the LSAT and L86 are for Support. Doesn't leave much option...

Plus, I think you can see a USMC Recon with the thing having a supressor and EOTech around 1:05. Looks similar to a Mk11, but it has a different stock and grip, similar to the M416's.
