I never asked for complete realism. I asked for logical weapon design. Plenty of other games have exactly what I'm asking for... even with futuristic weaponry. Shift goalposts all you want, my points remain valid.

Lol, not shifting anything, you're the one whining about aesthetics in a video game, who gives a -blam!- if it's not realistic enough, just play the damn game and remove stick from ass. Like I said, reality or video games? Choose one.

Yes you are. "no game is 100% completely realistic in all ways" is not an argument. It's an excuse to ignore what you know is illogical. It's a logical fallacy known as "special pleading". Basically, you create an exception that you believe justifies something that is incorrect, simply because you don't want to accept that the thing in question is, in fact, incorrect. I'm pointing out illogical design. If you don't care... congratulations. Just don't try to excuse poor design. "Just play the game" and ignore my "whining".
