* How on earth does M4's character after [=AR15's=] "death" go from a vengeful BrokenBird bent on eliminating her enemies to avenge her fallen allies and protect her loved ones, to a cold and aloof mission-driven soldier who would refuse to lift a finger to help an ally in serious need if it's not part of the current mission, to a [[SociopathicSoldier sociopathic war criminal]] who would sacrifice innocents and her own allies to take down the enemy, to someone who would basically order one of her oldest and dearest comrades to commit suicide with her? I get that "revenge poisons the soul" is a common trope, but wasn't the very reason she became vengeful that she cared about those important to her and wanted to protect them? Isn't sacrificing and letting her allies die literally the last thing she would ever do?

Isn't them, and stop others from having to sacrifice for her. So isn't sacrificing and letting her allies die literally the ''the very last thing she would ever do?do''?

* So why does this game only have a Japanese dub? I find that odd for a game that was made in China first and originally thought it was from the former.
** Marketing, I believe. Japanese voice actors are very recognizable to the game's target audience. Casting a big-name voice actor is a good way to draw player interest. ''VideoGame/AzurLane'' also hires Japanese [=VAs=] despite being a Chinese game, although they do use local voice actors for ROC ships in the Chinese server.
** In addition to above, it's said the Chinese prefer japanese voice acting in general.

** For those two guns, 45 ACP and 45 Colt are still in production today and reasonably available in the United States at sporting goods stores. Even 8mm Mauser is still produced by some companies. Some calibers are still questionable though such as the Carcano. I would guess they have managed to keep the ammunition in production. Or they have managed to create some sort of UniversalAmmunition, which would fit given the singular ammunition resource in the game.

** It's been suggested that part of Kalina's duties is looking for various obscure ammunition and using their tech to replicate them.

** According to the second set of Confidential Files, the Soviet Union ''did'' collapse and became the Russian Federation, just like in real-life. The New Soviet Union seen in-game is the result of a second Bolshevik revolution in 2030.

[[folder: Post Cold War guns]]
* If the Soviet Union never collapsed in this universe, then why do post-Soviet Union guns made by the Russian Federation like AN-94, Ak-12 and SV-98 also exist? SV-98 is even wearing the Russian Federation flag on her uniform. In fact, in a world where the Cold War never ended, shouldn't any guns made after the end of the Cold War like in our universe shouldn't exist?

* So are the old guns like the Thompson submachine gun and Colt Single Action Army used by the T-Dolls chambered to fire old bullets that these guns once used or are the old guns modified and chambered to fire modern bullets?
