Frank Personal Opinions: The AK74U is a very solid assault rifle, but there are two major disadvantages to it that makes me prefer my trusty M4A1. First, its performance is a little too unpredictable and can end up very badly, whereas the M4A1 is a consistently performing rifle that will do the job splendidly. The second is that for whatever the hell the reason, the AK74U doesn't seem to have the punch that it used to have back when Combat Arms was in its first year. Otherwise a very handy weapon.
