I imagine the length of weapon is taken into consideration too, I think weapon movement/inertia was a feature of the marksman update, so I guess this is another reason it is more prominent with LMGs and DMRs.
Actually, you'd think that would be the case IRL, it's not. Longer weapons tend to induce less sway, up to a point. When they get too heavy the sway is induced by your struggle to hold the weapon up. It is about finding that middle ground between length and weight.
A rifle being front heavy is easier to hold on target in the offhand position (standing) but can get tiring, A weapon that is back heavy is easier to carry but is induced to move a little more by the human bodys natural movements (such as heart beat, breathing, micro twitching)
This update and the way it applies the sway doesn't seem to take this into account. I prefer the new vanilla stamina but the sway is way out of being realistic. Especially with bipods.
