I for one LOVE this idea, there is nothing wrong with having a larger database of weapons with slight tweaks - One slightly stronger than with a slower ROF a smaller magazine and bigger bloom while the other could have a higher ROF with a larger magazine but does less damage per bullet with a smaller bloom. IMO Custom games and forge becomes that much better =D because you could play certain types of weapons on maps and leave out others; etc. Slower shooting ARs on smaller maps and faster shooting ARs for bigger maps.
