Specifically:
1) Does shit explode where it hits?
2) Does it go through basically everything but solid ground?
3) How brutal is the multiplayer towards late newcomers? How much of a difference is there between weapons of high and low levels? I remember back when there seems to be a huge difference between the XM8 and the AEK-971.
From what I gather and see what people do in the game, there doesn't seem to be a "dominating" high level weapon. I still see level 20 people going around with the AEK, after all it is more rapid than the XM8 so it has its advantages.

The only real advantage a high level player has are the perks and attachments that you get for guns.
