Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Allow marines to restock their UGLs and masterkey shotguns without waiting forever in the RO lines.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Underbarrel grenades are standard issue, and masterkeys are extremely easily obtainable. These are common and numerous attachments on the field, and they are usually used very quickly because of their small ammo reserves and potential to turn the tide of a fight.
So, everyone lining up to get their underslungs refilled would be tedious and, as such, doesn't happen. However, if we let marines restock them on their own, that may change.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): See above.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): There will be slots on the weapon vends in prep for both underslung attachments, but they will start out empty. Marines will have to field strip their firearms to stock the vendor, after which empty underslungs will be refilled. Additionally, marines using different attachments could stock their extras to prevent clutter on the floor and to give them to new arrivals.

Re: Allow Squad Prep Weapon Vendors to Restock UGLs and Masterkeys
An issue I see with this is how incredibly useful a UGL is in the right hands, and how this very well may increase their abundance on the battlefield. On the contrary, however, all you really need to do to get a new UGL is to take out a new rifle and field strip it, so I suppose it doesn't really matter too much in the long run.
Can't say about the masterkey, never used it.

Won't increase the usage of the UGL, imo, won't unbalance it, just a QOL feature. It might make the master key more used, too.
+1, why not.
