So I was playing Black ops and I picked up on a couple things right off the bat. The M16 has a 30 round clip but on the model it uses a 20 Round STANAG Clip as the first M16s used ( It wasent till after the M16A1 did they start using the 30 Round Banana clips) and also the AK74u is in the game which is Completely impossible as the AK74 didn't enter service till 1974 and the AK74u didnt come out till 1979. so those were only a couple things I noticed.

I know its for gameplay purposes but I thought it was soppose to be "realistic"

Have you picked up on anythings that arnt historicaly correct?

P.S. I know im nit-picking but I havent made a topic in a few months

CoD has never cared about accuracy when it comes to history.

There was actually a thread about this a few days ago, if I remember correctly.

It went down the list of all weapons in the game and I think only a very small amount of weapons were actually from that era.

Nope. The only realistic about the Modern COD's is the setting,in that it is set in semi-modern times.

Fun > Realism

I'm sure they made a few compromises to make the gameplay more interesting and fun...

Alot of the guns if you look them up are from after BO's time period. Why did they include them, IDK.
