I dunno, man.

Because it was sick af in MW2, and most devs these days are noguns that base their gun inclusions on what was totes sick in other games.
>particularly Tom Clancy games
Because modern tom clancy games are still aping that ~2008 era "future weapons with mac" operator aesthetic, and Ubisoft doesn't care enough to realize that that fad ended years ago.

probably cause it has a cool name

>>33429717
Memes aside, what's wrong with it?

Visually it has same or better ergonomics as AR15, a bit slimmer profile than SCAR. Why the hate?

>>33429751
I'm gonna be honest.
I for one love that those games exist because I'll never lay my hands on any of those prototypes and they're fun to think of in a "what could have been" sense.

That and I'm a bit sick of the ultra "realistic" crye tactical "dude look at my not-AR-off brand AR with special snowflake muzzle break/suppressor" all operators wear baseball caps and jeans storylines.
Fuck dude, just give me an Uzi and some soviets to fuck up and I'm happy.
Same with an ACR and some ultra sneaky not-soviets.

Some shit got so over done that they stopped all together, and now I've got a hankering for the old shit again.

>>33429783
Because it does nothing that other rifles don't do, plus its more expensive. It also has none of the features that were promised before it was sold commercially

>>33429783
Because it was advertised as a cheap to produce alternative to the AR and promised cheap on the fly caliber swaps. On arrival (much later than expected), it cost a shitload, had poor QC and to this day has never delivered on alternate calibers.

>>33429717
god it's ugly. it looks like someone took the stock from a scar, lower from h&k, upper from hi point and a gas block from an ak

not to mention the handguard looks like cheap plastic garbage

>>33429783
The company that made it.

If it could just be made for the same price as a basic AR and have okay QC it would see a shitload of people buying it.

A lot of gun designs that were actually okay died before anything good happened because they couldn't be made for the same price as a basic bitch AR.

>>33429812
>has never delivered on alternate calibers.
...it comes in 6.8 spc! That counts, right?

Cause every ACR was destined to flop.

>>33429939
...what is that?

>>33429953
A flechette firing rifle built in the late 80's to create a new breed of rifles.

It failed cause plastics from the 80's were shit and screwed the munition cases and the flechette sabots would bounce off of any hard surface and still cause collateral damage.

>>33429717
>>33429809
>>33429825
Sour grapes. The gun is better designed than any other one on the market for an all-around tactical rifle.

Man, that rifle was doomed.

>>33429897
In MWIII, yes.
The caliber conversions were never released. There was since information at SHOT 2017, but we are still waiting.

>>33431186

This, basically Artificial diversity sells better.

is that the one that fires flechettes??

>ar kids are so dumb they think piston systems are a meme

Jesus Christ

>>33432113
Don't pay it any mind, calling everything a meme is a meme in of itself.

>>33429717
The gun itself didn't encounter commercial success, however its design and philosphy has been copied by the Poles (MSBS, which is pretty much a carbon copy) and the Germans (HK433, which is most likely going to hit it off). This design is the future, more so than SCAR/CZ805 style rifles which offer less modularity.

OP cries about a weapon in fictional settings where bullet wounds heal themselves after 30 seconds , frags have a 4ft blast radius and firearms are arbitrarily given ballistic and handling characteristics for the sake of variety.

Just go shoot an ACR in real life and stop crying.

>Shoot an ACR in real life.
I've fired the Bushmaster once. It's nothing special.

Also, if you want to get technical, the polish adopted the rifle in very small numbers.

>>33433681
I don't need to get technical. Video games are like the epitome of artistic license when it comes to these things.

I agree that's it's pretty mediocre though. It's cool in its own way, for what it wanted to be. Just glad the MSBS and HK433 are finally at least giving us something that captures the spirit of the thing

All I meant by shooting one IRL is that /k/ and the Internet have a way of latching onto things and turning them into absolutes

>>33429717
muh piston meme

>>33434104
Yep the AK, FAL,550 series, Garand,Dragunov, a shitload of MGs, SCARs, HK416s and an assload of other service weapons sure are memes.

The piston was the least noteworthy aspect of its design. That's like saying box mags, autoloading or using metallic cartridges is just a meme

>>33434339
>he fell for the metallic cartridge meme

Wow faggot, cap and ball is where it's at

When I got mine it slam fired through the whole mag. While troubleshooting it I let a full 30 round mag go through. This gun shines when its blowing through ammo, it has very little recoil.

Had shrubmaster fix it, and its still fun to shoot. Very accurate too.

Ok. I'm not sure why you think I give a shit but thanks I guess.

>>33436074
If anyone has actually questions about the gun I'll answer them. But I think we would rather shitpost and reminisce of video games that came out in 2009.

>>33437715
It's actually not mlok, it's a proprietary mounting thing that Remington defense cooked up before keymod and mlok got big. You can see it on their RGP and MSR guns too.

>>33429717
Well shit, I completely forgot about this things existence.

>>33429717
I mean, I don't really understand the difference between it and a SCAR, for instance.
Both utilize the same direct piston system. Both have adjustable stocks.
Both even look the same for fucks sake

Granted, I've only fired the SCAR H and never even really seen an ACR so I don't know the difference and why one is so orgasmed over while the other is relegated as "CoD kiddie shit"

>>33437670
Shitty charging handle.

Everything else is what the AR should have been when it was adopted fifty years ago.
Thenit would have the amazing aftermarket that the AR has.

>>33429751

Aside from the pistol grip you can change all those things.
