The SCAR-H is the deadliest because of its high rate of fire, damage, bullet speed and accuracy. But the small clip and longer reload time can cause problem when you are forced to reload in the middle of an unfinished battle, without proper cover.

In a 1v1, the SCAR-H is the pick.

But if I would have to fight endless waves of survivors (or when I want most kills and plunge into action), the AK or the M416 (aka HK) are just as great as they kinda deal more damage in the long run.

A bit like the MP220 (double-barrelled shotgun) is deadlier than the M870 (regular shotty), but regular shotty can provide more shots in the long run. In a 1v1, MP220 wins, but in a 1v4, you're gonna need to cover and reload it all the time.

That being said, SCAR-H is still superior, just plan ahead enough cover for the reload time. Also, when possible, get the most out of each clip (while at 5 ammo left you would reload your M416, see if you can shoot these last 5 with the SCAR-H, they might just be enough for a kill)

M416 vs AK-47 : From 1x to 4x, the M416 is deadlier (kills faster). But you must get closer and also stop moving when you shoot it, or else it spreads too much. I assume most people that' don't stop moving' when they shoot prefer the AK at 4x.

The FAMAS? Not my favorite. It's strong if you're accurate, but even if you are, burst fire is easier to predict and dodge. If you keep shooting the next burst as soon as it is available, your target might get used to it and dodge. Make sure you delay some bursts, waiting for the dodge to occur and then shoot.

FAMAS is a great harassing weapon, but you need space to keep your distances. I think it's better paired with a full-auto than with a shotgun : while a shotgun helps if someone gets too close, a full-auto can keep people from ever getting close, pushing them back to where FAMAS works well thanks to its bullet speed, accuracy and damage.

What doesn't help the FAMAS is the free-for-all nature of the game : it's a slow-killing, harassing weapon that require space to retreat, and you never know when you'll retreat into another enemy.

Finally, it's a fine early game weapon, it totally destroys players without armor. But unless you're at 8x and only have 50-ish green ammo, totally swap this for M416 when you can (or any other green gun)
