Replacing spawn weapons

Not sure I'm for merging the shotgun and laser. That just seems like a bad idea to me. Adding a proper secondary to the laser however might be a good idea, something like a shield that flashes up for a split second to block shots (similar to what can be done with UT99's impact hammer secondary) seems like a neat concept. The only real issue I ever had with the weapon system save the obvious redundancies (rifle and HLAC in particular) in Xonotic is how the ammo is divided up. I think that the shells should be replaced with an ammo type that splits cell ammo up and that the shotgun should use the same ammo as the machine gun.
