I know when I set up for an ambush I sit 1000-2000 yards away. It seems that the Mk 10's would still work in this scenario, or am I missing something obvious here?
The main reason I can see for not carrying all Mk 10s is hindsight. They didn't have that option, primarily because they didn't know what the problem was. I play to replicate the same experience they had, so I keep the loadouts they had historically.

But that's just me.
