First was the
shoddy flattop M4, then the
Carbine Rifle in GTAV, then the
polymer-furnished Type 56 in TWD, now the shoddy flattop M4
with the addition of an EOTech, RIS handguard, and Surefire light. There's probably numerous others I've forgotten about.
I'll admit MPM's M4 SOPMOD pic with the old style Aimpoint and KAC broomhandle is a bit... dated, but at least it's the actual gun instead of a bunch of cutouts cobbled together from other pics in an image editor. Am I the only one annoyed by this practice? MPM has stated on multiple occasions that he doesn't like his pics Photoshopped, but some editors on the main site keep doing just that. Rare or obscure guns like the XM16E1 or P226K are one thing, but I really don't think pics of a given gun in numerous different aesthetic configurations are needed. The M4 with the carry handle Photoshopped off is a prime example of one that strikes me as totally unneeded, since I don't understand why one of the pics with the handle still attached can't be used in that instance.
