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 EBR 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.

Now that some weapons are being changed or have been changed to be better instead of changing the weapon the M4 SOPMOD should just be buffed like how the AS-Val was and soon MK18 both of which are CL4 role weapons.
It's hard to buff a permanent weapon as content wants to keep the permanent weapon shop balanced
 
bro the argument "It's a permagun" could apply to so many more jobs than just Nu-7. Here are all I've found:
  • CI-Operative, AEK-971
  • UNGOC-Assessment Team, FN 2000
  • GSD Captain, MK18
  • ISD Agent, P90
  • ISD Inspector & Commissioner, AR-15
  • ISD Investigator, Colt M4 9mm
  • Nu-7 Autorifleman, SPAS-12
  • Nu-7 Specialist, MSBS
  • Nu-7 Marksman, Colt M4 9mm
  • Nu-7 Commander, M4 SOPMOD Block II (you didn't specify commander job 🤓 )
  • E-11 Biohazard Specialist, Karma-45
  • DEA Manager, AS VAL
  • Probably more I missed.
Also, EBR-14 is currently used by GSD Chief, just the point it out, I have no issue with it being replaced I guess.

My main argument is all MTF/GOI officers have exclusive weapons INSTEAD of us

he made the argument that every officer role deserves a unique weapon, as every other officer role has one except nu-7 officer.
