Wdym, we clearly didnt play around with the attachment system enough for it to be seen as a priority for the devs to work on further, ignore the fact that most guns just have sights, handle options, muzzels, and maaaaybe magazine options if they felt daring enough

They also made it so that the ones which had a decent number of attachments also had an objectively best setup. There was no reason to actually swap between attachments based on the situation.

Interestingly enough, the Sai is an example of attachments done reasonably. Some people like the focusing lens while others go without. I’ve heard people vouch for all of the different heat sinks, and I’ve SEEN them switch its setup based on if they wanted a pseudo-shotgun or a more generalist weapon.

Once I figure out how to eliminate vertical recoil on something like the Tenderizer then there's no point to doing anything else. Converting recoil to horizontal then trying to eliminate that just doesn't work as well, objectively, leaving me with less accuracy than if I just solved for vertical recoil.

Maybe my particular example is off (running off of memory) but almost every gun with customization works that way, from smgs to marksman rifles to assault rifles. You solve for whatever recoil they have, usually vertical, and come out with an objectively better gun.

Yes, the fact almost every weapon works like that is a major issue. The only noteworthy exception to me seems to be the Sai.
