Please update GAR's guns.


Please update GAR's guns.
The Issue
The current guns in GAR, as it stands, are extremely buggy and unreliable. Time and time again, people experience issues with the hitscan, and it has reached a point where combat in a Star Wars group has become boring and avoided. To add to this, the sluggish jump-delay really makes fighting raiders something that nobody enjoys. Another problem is the ridiculous amount of time it takes to completely cooldown your weapon, with the animation actually ending before the process is even complete. Within this 5 second action, it'd be an absolute miracle if you did not die to a raider that you were planning on engaging in close quarters. The fact of the matter is, for a group as large and recognizable as GAR, we should be equipped with weapons that are dependable and fun to use, such as IA guns or the VAK STA, which are both frequently used in group-wide combat trainings. I'd also like to throw out there that none of our guns are correct canonically in any way, and it is sad to see Troopers carrying around a generic laser rifle instead of one of the iconic DC weapons (one of which was made into a shotgun). With the impending release of the raid map, I feel that this should be a much higher priority, otherwise GAR will inevitably see an overall decrease in engrossment from the members who joined looking for a Star Wars group that values the "Wars" part of the name.
