Haha you are like me, nothing like the satisfying BANG coming out of your shotgun, or the ratata from your LMG when killing the enemy, now i just wish there would be ballistic equivalent to energy weapon like ballistic upgrade, Hmmm maybe use a foundry project to boost up damage like the pistol, THAT is a nice idea!! Yeah!! foundry project to increase damage etc of ballistic weapons!!! That would be awesome! Should cost a lot to balance it out in line with other laser weaponry etc. I.E.: If to deck out your 6 man squad with laser weapon cost say 100 alien, 200buckthing the foundry project should cost 80% of that price and take 14day+? I would do that really :D
