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.

When you compare the use of the C1/SMG vs C7/C8 it makes way more sense to have C7 & C8.
Remember the rumour that the plastic mags were designed to be disposable on the battlefield.
I to was in for the C1 to C7 conversion. All things considered C7/C8 is a far better option than the C1/SMG.
The C9 vs C2 isn't even close.
