I don't think they're making comparisons to the real life models, just tn the game. In MW2 multiplayer the FAMAS was renowned for being an overpowered gun as it was a 3 round burst fire weapon that could kill in two shots or less. The Type 95 handles the same way in MW3. And as there is no FAMAS in MW3, it's pretty easy to make that comparison.
Tried out the Specialist strike package for shits and giggles last night and surprisingly, I did really well 48-16 KD ratio on Sabotage

Not sure whether it was down to the Specialist strike pacakge or what, but I really felt like a badass.
I really like Xbox Ahoy's videos for Black Ops as he stepped through a guide on each weapon in the game, strengths/weaknesses, suitable attachments, perks to use etc. Luckily he's started on MW3 and going through all the assault rifles at the moment but I'm sure he'll go through all of them eventually. This is the latest one, on the G36C and I'm having a great time using it

It's like being briefed by Captain Price
