What is the best gun in Battlefield 4?

The best gun in Battlefield 4 is your choice. This is only some reccomendations; The MG4 LMG for support, the M98B sniper rifle for recon, the A-91 carbine (any class), the AK5C carbine (any class -- I thought this was the best AT FIRST), and the AK-12 assualt rifle for assualt. I haven't played with the assault guns a lot yet, so the AK-12 is an easy argument for the best gun, it's just the quick reload and all-a-round stats with this gun that makes it good. I play on PS3, my user name is bryant_owen-me12 (dat name). Friend me for mo' info.
