Its out of place and the reason why no one is complaining is because you ignore them and put them down for doing so. It should be moved next to the awp and not be sitting next to the best gun in the game, atleast till valve fucks that over with the beta release and probably more so with the scout.
I doubt it was put next to the ak on purpose too, it was probably just a screw up on zeros part and he never fixed it, like the mute feature which is still broken on zm but everywhere else it works.
both are nasty quirks that would make both things a 1000X better if they were fucking delt with, so pretty please with fucking sugar on top move the fucking gun next to the awp where it belongs zero.
