I actually checked the weapons config files in Spearhead and found this about "Realistic" weapons:

1. Weapons are MORE accurate. By far. This is why everyone is (should be) using the SMGs. Faster movement speed _and_ reasonably accurate fire.

2. Weapons are only slightly more powerful. Few weapons are 1-shot kills, except for headshots. One exception is the Russian rifle, which does the most damage per shot (110).

3. Pistols and not-zoomed snipers are WAY more accurate. They are actually useful beyond point-blank range. Remember to use your pistols instead of reloading!

There are many ways to make a "realism" mod. It's a balance between accuracy and power.

CPR/CKR make the weapons insanely powerful and some weapons very accurate like the MGs. The SMGs are totally inaccutate, btw.

Other mods remove ramdom bulletspread altogether, but pump up the recoil. BWM comes to mind.

MOH:SP has made the weapons slightly more powerful and significantly more accurate. It's a reasonable trade-off and time will tell if their approach works. (use the SMGs in the meantime)
