Jackhammer already suffers from the Far Shot penality sometimes, and if you don't have GOOD SKI, you'll never hit anything. And you need a tad bit of STR to carry them in battles if you want a powerful 'boom'.

Shotguns are quite the rare sight and often useless compared to rifles due to their lack of range and power. This could be addressed, maybe change the Magic Gunner's skill that gives Shotgun power, to give Crit Damage, like VA does. (It's the only thing that 'saves' daggers from sucking, it should do the same to Shotguns, make them the firearm's 'dagger' style.)

Rifles are usually lighter than shotguns, and the only rifle we have access to is mandatory to be used together with Excel Gloves, giving the 'two-handed' sense. The other rifles are a bit too 'eh' scaling wise. (not counting 10* items)


Overall: We have ore materials that can make a Mechanation weight less than a child's punch and weapons are powered by Focus not by magazines or any special lead clips. It wouldn't bring anything but "Hey, you must get this talent." In which I 'think' Dev tried to headbutt out of his game, the mandatory-ism we had post-GR with things. Sure, makes sense, but at a pretty nifty cost.

So I say, better not chap.
