Yeah, fair enough on both. But there was something comforting with the FN of sitting on a range hitting a target that far away dead center. Not likely to make a difference in a modern battlefield. But there was also a comfort of being able to hit someone in hiding.
I was there when they started transitioning over to the C7 and it just wasn't the same thing. There were nice features, but when you go from something like the C1A1 to the C7 it was like going from a manly weapon to a toy.
And yeah carrying a ton of ammo for the C2 just sucked.
