1) I agree Mac 10 needs either a range or recoil or bsa nerf... either one of those.

2) Even if the Mac was to be balanced, at that range of combat, it should still win against an AK.. bruh, it has 40% less damage, BUT it has 118% faster fire rate... it's bound to run circles around the AK inside it's effective range.. even if the Mac's dmg has moved into it's second range at that distance, it still has waaay faster ttk than the AK (Theoretically, somewhere around 200-230ms faster iirc), so even if you shot first, you're still bound to loose

3) AK doesn't kill fast per se... it's only good in BR because of ease of control at mid range and damage retention at mid range.

4) in Alcatraz, using Kilo or M13 will give you better results
