I like this idea of giving Pios some lugers and leave Mp40 out of the "Trash tier SMG" category. It is very confusing that stormtroopers have it aswell and shred infantry but pios spread their guns and cause little to no damage at all. I am not saying that pios should have ST Mp40, i am saying makes no sense to have such a big gap between the two weapon profiles
there are like 90 variants of kar98s as well, or how about g43s? Nagants? M1 carbines?
If there is a gun there's 10 basicly.
If the versions of the gun give you trouble consider guns are only as good as the guy using it. This is why guards can get more out of a nagant than cons can and this is why 200mp pios don't get as much out of it as 280mp elite infantry.
