Definitely make the Nex a shock rifle.
Why? Because the Rifle is MUCH better suited to be the sniper weapon. It relies on headshots, which takes actual skill at distances, not body shots which are super easy. Also it can shoot through walls, which can help shoot campers out of their tents.
The Nex on the other hand is a featureless cheat rifle, with no spread and instantaneous delivery that vaporizes an unarmored enemy wherever you hit him. It's a less skillful competitor to the Rifle basically.
If people just like the aesthetics of the Nex, make the Rifle use its graphics and SFX instead, and use the rifle appearance for the shock rifle inspired battle rifle weapon (and give it a secondary attack too).
Also, add a melee secondary attack to the Laser as well. That's a perfect kind of secondary attack for a non-ammo weapon.
