GALIL is underwhelming (probably worst assault rifle atm)
-insane recoil and low fire rate (compared to m4 which is same calibre)
-the iron sights just plain suck

Kind of strange to compare the Galils to AR's only available to Rifleman. I don't think the Galils are supposed to compete with them, more of giving Gunner a lighter option compared to the beltfeds.

Recoil is also not bad at all, and they just recently buffed it with a patch.

I have not once seen a galil rifle in this game, either I have some kind of insanity going on or everyone else is playing on some secret test server I know nothing about.

I think the IMI Galil (The insurgent one) is 7.62, and the SAR is 5.56

It's the test server for the game where devs provide us with future updates beforehand for gathering feedback, it should be in your library.

Nah, both of them are in 5.56x45mm in 35-round magazines due to the distinctive curved shape (Galils in 7.62x51mm NATO have straight magazines like M14). Also, the insurgents' Galil is the ARM (Automatic Rifle Machine-gun) variant which is basically Galil AR with attached bipod.

I see, hope they're not exclusive to the machinegunner class

It kind of should be though.
Rifleman is already drowning in guns...
Gunner could use something that's lighter, IAR-style.

They could give the Galils to the Advisor class though.

Gunner and Advisor would be cool.

Tbh they should rework what guns go to each class.

The RoF is similar to AKM which is good for ammo conversation & its muzzle velocity is more than 900 m/s, which is pretty great to nail targets more easier without leading them as often as the others. The horizontal recoil is a bit higher than AKM, but still relatively controllable after the latest patch which signigicantly reduced its recoil.
