the russian weapons do irl way more damage than the m416 or anyother western assault rifle because of its 7.62 by 39 mm cartrige so the russians prefer damage rather than accuracy. russian weapons also have open ironsights (except for an-94)which allows the person to see way more than the m16s or m4s iron sights
