I agree with that sentiment. I think that machine guns should be standardized in the same fashion as rifles and assault rifles were.
In game stats there is no difference not only between AKM and AK-74 but between AK-74 and M-16 and so on. Why there is difference between RPK and RPK-74? Different names should be retained for a flavor reasons mostly.
