Then again, APB is a third person shooter, which already makes the weapons sorta feel like lack of feedback, cos it obviously feels like you are not really shooting them due to the camera view.
That said, I do agree with many other things mentioned here. Outside ironsights, small screen shake is OK, but not that much in ADS. I also think BF3 does this all fairly well. As mentioned, really good sounds and just overall feels good. Screenshake while ADS isn't that good of an idea and its good to notice CS doesnt even have ADS, while it will be the primary way of firing in PS2, so direct comparison isn't good.
Insurgency is one of my favourite online shooters up to date, I think the game feels good in many aspects. I'll make a short video about the game weapons soon.
One thing we have to remember though that the AK47 is one of the beefiest sounding assault rifles in real life too, all weapons cant sound the same and like AK47
