Any insight into future weapons being added?

One of the things I always loved about PR are the guns. There are some guns I'd LOVE to see added. This includes the F2000, P90, MP5 and MP7. I'd like to see tank crews given either MP5s or P90s. I've seen people get crewman kits and fight with my squad when there wasn't a tank or APC in sight which confused me, but adding a weapon for closer ranges would discourage people from doing this, and give tank crews a little bit more protection seeing as there are more and more ways to take down tanks and APC.

ok im REALLY not trying to sound like a jerk when i say this so please dont take it the wrong way but,

when you suggest weapons, ask yourself, do any of the factions in the game currently use these weapons in real life? like the f2000 for example, far as i know no faction uses that gun in current service. really none of those guns are used by front line combat troops that are represented by the factions in the game. this is not counterstrike, the DEVs do not add guns to the game just because they look cool. the kits in the game are as close as a real representation to the loadouts soldiers have in real life. hence the name project reality. the only faction you could maybe have a case with is the MEC as they are not a real army, but they are basically any middle east army so they use a mix of G3s and AKs like most middle east armies. so yeah those guns are cool and all, but not realistic.

US Special Forces use M4s and MP5s. Anyway you could set it up so you could choose between an M4 or MP5 like the unlock system? Also, I'm pretty sure tank crews don't use M16A4s due to the small size of the tank cabins.

I'm going to lock this -before- it turns into a flaming contest and save me some warnings.

In PR, weapons aren't added because they're cool, they're added because they are used by the forces portrayed in the game.

Just to elaborate about crewman weapons. We know...they're all being changed (at least the ones we have suitable replacements for)
