Give the Conscripts M16s or AKs or Some Shit, not Wimpy MP5s

[Botulism]

This is a very simple suggestion that I won't put too much effort to, since I think it's pretty much a given.

IRL, the MP5 Sub-machine gun was not mass produced as much as the M16, AK, etc. Or their eastern variants. It's a police weapon that fires nine-milimetre rounds with an effective firing range of two-hundred meters.

The Conscripts are soldiers; riflemen. They're auxillaries that perform the menial roles of Transhumans when Transhumans aren't available, basically.

They're supposed to be fighting in the Outlands at long ranges.

See where this goes wrong?

The Connies look outright stupid with wimpy MP5s, give these boys some assault rifles, man! They deserve it and it'd really make them a fighting force that isn't just a way for rebels to easily get equipment. It'd also give people an actual incentive to play conscripts, who wants to be the HL2RP version of the Mobile Infantry from Starship Troopers? Hell yeah!

just nerf Vortigaunts back to a reasonable level.

Believe it, or not, the Vortigaunt beam is a slower TTK than basically every other gun

I think it's more the insta-incap that's the problem if it lands a single hit, you can miss with 20 bullets. If you hit one vorti-bolt, it's over
