How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? .
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) .
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Despite the laser sight being advertised as an attachment for SMGs and pistols in the patch notes, the CAR SMG does not accept laser sight attachments on top of no longer accepting barrel mods. On a side note, the Wingman also doesn't take laser sight attachments despite being in the pistol category, but to me this seems intentional due to its "sniper" nature now.
What should be happening instead? The CAR should accept laser sight attachments like other SMGs and pistols (besides the Wingman).
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Pick up a CAR SMG in any mode and check its attachments.

To be clear, the barrel mod slot was also removed, which leads me to believe that the laser sight was meant to be added but never properly was.

The patch notes mention the car leaving the crafter near the top section of the notes. for the car weapon section itself only lists the barrel attachment being removed which happened to all SMG and at the bottom of the notes mentions a bug that fixed a problem with not being able to switch between light and heavy. No where did they talk about why the car SMG is the only SMG or pistol to not take a laser sight. Obviously it’s intentional and not a bug but they should still clarify confusing things like this to the player base.

I can totally see where the confusion comes from. As I understand this is intended and the barrel slot removal precedes the conversion from barrel mods to laser sights, but I'll double check to be sure.
