[SUGGESTION] Weapons function

you demand that one weapon stay the same because it's balanced. well here's an idea. how about we think about how we can change the OTHER weapons so THEY are balanced too. even if it means changing the balanced weapon.

if you want everything to stay the same as nexuiz, then go play nexuiz.

Yes, because I oppose radically changing each weapon, I'm clearly an undesirable motherfucker and should go back to where I came from.

Here are the ideas I like. The rest of them (especially weapon merging) seem crazy in my opinion and could ruin gameplay.

General:
Guns have different armor pierce profiles (rather then current flat-rate)
More self-damage

Grenade launcher:
Less radius on primary, slower refire on secondary, longer lifetime on secondary.
Medium dmg & ap

Nex gun:
Slower primary refire, less force, more damage, more ammo use.
Secondary half damage but double and inverted force.
Medium dmg, high ap

I like those, particularly the nex compromise, but not the mortar changes. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
