Why are bad guy weapons so much cooler (and stronger) in video games?

Good guy weapons
>Precise, but kind of weak and usually fitted with better tech, like suppressors, red dots, a grip, etc.
Bad guy weapons
>Insanely high recoil, poor accuracy, but when a shot does land it hits like a truck.Gotta balance it out. I blame Counter Strike for this kind of trope.

Because the terrorists in counterstrike are at a disadvantage by default, and their stronger weapons are supposed to make thigns clsoer to even.
In PS2 GTA games, the M4 is better than the AK.

Because as the good guy you generally start with the good guy guns, and have to go out of your way to use the bad guy guns. Therefore the good guy guns tend to be reliable and consistent, while the bad guy guns need to have some sort of unique edge to make you want to try them out. This also makes them a little rarer comparatively since you have to find them first and keep getting new ammo which also makes them more of a draw to use them while you can.

Pic unrelated? The AK is cooler and usually does more damage in games.
