In a reply by Robert Bowling on Twitter to a disgruntled gamer last week, Bowling stated that the FMG machine pistols are to receive some "re-balancing," i.e. a nerfing in layman's terms. Being stated to be released this week, this means the FMGs will have been nerfed not even one month after launch; in contrast, it took Treyarch 7 months to nerf the Famas in Black Ops.
