Compare the recorded costs of MP5, T-21 and AK74 for mobile and general infantry roles.
01 Define the job before the class
For short transfers, revives or objective entry, mobility and medical budget may dominate. For varied engagement distances, consider ammo and route as well. A class label alone does not prove a current-build performance advantage.
02 Hold protection constant
Community records show MP5 at $1,500, AK74 at $1,600 and T-21 at $600. With the same armor, helmet and medical gear, MP5 and AK74 differ by only $100 at base price; T-21 saves $900 or $1,000.
03 Test under comparable conditions
Record hits and survival under comparable range, target and ammunition conditions. There is no reliable controlled TTK dataset here, so an absolute close-range winner would be unsupported.
