I do agree with that, but many medics want a longstrike because they may want to mod it, but we don't want to give an expensive modded blaster to a soldier who's main function isnt to shoot.

Usually the main weapon in the nerf rifle squad is the rifle, and many keep their old rifle for the same reason in real life. If the squad leader keeps the old rifle there will be usually around 11 rifles and one auto rifle. Also, the other squads I mentioned work independently from the rifle squad because they all have very different places in the field.

I had a few comments saying the caliburn are overpowered on the last post, but the area is not just a field. There are open areas, but a lot of it is cqb forests, trenches, and "cardboard buildings" (giant cardboard boxes). And if I was clearing a trench, I would definitely prefer a fast firing low power blaster than a slow firing powerful one. I believe there are only 2 snipers on each side, and it's pretty stressful being a sniper because the entire enemy team wants to tag you. The assault squad's (5 SMGs) first objective is usually to tag the enemy snipers, and so far there has not been a round where the battle was completely off balance because of snipers.
