What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Removes the sopmod from the officer loadout and adds a new non-perma weapon that isn't used in any other loadout.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Couldn't find anything recently but probably far back in the past.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Non-perma weapon
Exclusive to Nu-7 officer
Adds more drive to play the officer job

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Content would have to tweak the gun stats (I tested it and currently its horrible)
(Couldn't really think of anything else I am willing to take feedback though :D )

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Currently the Nu-7 officer job has two main weapons the SOPMOD which is a perma weapon meaning you can still use it on any other class also its a pretty average weapon and the M14 which everyone can agree is an absolute pile of shit. I feel these two weapons don't add enough drive to play the officer job when there are jobs like auto-rifleman which you can have a perma AND the M249 still equipped, and also now with the keycard levels transferring over to other jobs (not saying its a bad change) it completely removes the benefits of playing on the officer job. With adding the M16A4 to the officer job it can be tweaked to a good balanced weapon that wont effect the whole perma weapon shop by messing around with the stats. The main reason I am suggesting to change the weapon entirely is because changing the current stats of the SOPMOD to make it a little better would ruin the perma weapon economy, there is also the fact that Nu-7 officer job gets outgunned by every other officer job in the server. GOC gets the kbar, CI gets the vepr and scar-h, E-11 get the qbz, O-1 get the ash-12, and a-1 get the MCX. None of these are permas and are arguably all better than the SOPMOD. I feel that the officer job deserves an exclusive experience along with the rest of the departments/MTFs. We have had the SOPMOD for over 2 years now and I think its time for a change :D.

The thing is its the only gun I could find that would be fitting for Nu-7 and one of the only ones that isnt a perma/in a different loadout plus I dont want to ask content to create a whole new weapon because that would be even more likely to deny also when I tested it it seemed fine the only thing was the reload sound. Any other weapon recommendations?

*Although I think that the Officer job isn't very unique anymore due do having the same keycard on any role, so it does need some form of rework.

Is the argument here that because CL4s aren't restricted to the officer job anymore, the officer job needs to be reworked? I don't exactly agree, as it's meant to be a command position, and a lot of the time I see MTF COs use the job for a more formal style, such as modeling themselves in a suit for more diplomatically inclined meetings, but I guess this is a valid point.

Also just a more general point, what's wrong with the M4 SOPMOD??? The argument of "it's a permaweapon," can be applied to WAY more jobs than just officer.

Also, like what Auburn said, do NOT change it to M16A4, absolutely busted gun.

It's not that there is anything wrong with it it's a pretty average gun though. There is just no drive to play the officer job if there isn't any benefits

Nu-7 Officer job currently lacks unique incentives, with the SOPMOD being a perma weapon which is... and the M14 being underwhelming... Adding a balanced, non-perma weapon like the M16A4 or even another gun would give us a more distinct identity and make it more appealing, similar to other factions with exclusive gear. And the only regiment that didnt have a weapon change in more than 2 years are Nu7.

The M16A4 is FAR from balanced... far from functioning.

That's why I want to edit the stats of it and I chose it so I could edit the stats of it without ruining any other load outs because no other job has it
