It's really too bad that these are all only "nonsensical" in the context of Tarkovs modding system. irl they're completely conventional and effective setups. I think if the difference between a stock weapon and a meta weapon wasn't so insanely huge there'd be a lot more room to customize guns how you like without sacrificing performance, at least not nearly as much. Or at least make a bunch of the attachments have the exact same stats as each other so not every meta weapon looks the exact same.

[@miguelbat27]

Every gun is a tool with a different purpose, some similar but always proficient at their own thing, modifying a weapon is often done to improve said purpose or even create a whole new purpose. Like turning a glock from a secondary reserve weapon to a reliable PDW, changing it's purpose and use entirely. It's really awesome what you can make work with some creativity and knowledge of how your weapon system works.
