A New Weapon? M41A2 Heavy Pulse Rifle

[Shadow]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): A new pulse rifle, with maybe about twice, to three times the ammo of the normal one, as a spec or engineer option. (Canonically, it had as much ammo as the sentry, which is 300. Bad mojo man)

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Rather than making engineers limited to sing nothing but getting killed, and hyper fortifying the nexus, they could have this to play a sort of assault/support role against the hive. (Siege Engineers When?)

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Allows the engineers to have a third purpose, aside from sentry tech support, and castle architects, and instead sends them to be dedicated support gunners.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Maybe a sight re make of the normal rifle sprite, make the green darker, and the grey sections matte black, add a handle or strap for carrying, then on the coding side, change the clip size of the rifle, and maybe lower the fire rate and either raise or lower damage.

I would think a lower damage and a faster rate of fire would be better, like an SMG. Engineer is a support role after all.

Didn't we already have this denied?

Anyways.

Yeah this would be nice to the engineers to have but limit it to only have a certain amount of ammo and only can order more from requisitions.

Also in limited supply so if you lose one then tough luck.

This fills the same role as the Smartgun. We've denied this idea a couple times over.

If I recall, we're already using the A2. The A2 has a lower magazine and sports attachments. The base M41 has the 99 round magazine.

We're using the Mk. 2, a 40 round rifle with easy attachment slots. The A2 was a 300 round LMG used as a support weapon. Also, on the note of it taking the place of the smart gun, or doing the same thing, I would suggest that it does only slightly more damage, with maybe 60 - 70 bullets, with separate drums for ammo, that only the engineers can get from their vendor, with spare mags being ordered from cargo. It would have an identical or faster/slower firing rate. It would be used by engineers as a support gun so they don't have to feel so useless during assaults.

Denied because you didn't READ THE ACCEPTED SUGGESTIONS.
