Content Suggestion DEA Gun Change

[GMAN0289]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Change the Special Agent and Manager gun from the AS-Val to the Ghost R5

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
DEA Weapon changes have been suggested before

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
More balanced weapon for for surface and facility combat.
Better then the current weapon which was nerfed because it became a perma gun.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Possibility of upsetting some balance.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Currently DEAs loadouts become lackluster after becoming a Special Agent due to being forced to use a perma gun which can not perform as well as weapons that are not perma guns. Overall this would be a positive change because it would alleviate frustration of the AS-Vals lack luster performance. It makes no sense why the Department Director should have such an powerful loadout while the officers are forced to use shit weapons. This also applies to many roles, but they are not relevant to this suggestion.

AS Val is one of the best guns for surface - it makes complete sense the higher up in the Department you are the better equipment you have access too

This would be true if the loadout was not astronomically more overpowered then Special Agent. The AS Val just sucks plain and simple. Its the same issue GENSEC Captains have with their gun and Nu7 LTs have with theirs.

Also Counter to your point if Higher Ranks are supposed to have better guns then why dose Agent and Senior Agent have better guns then the higher ranks?

Balance this balance that this is a fucking roleplay server nobody gives a fuck who's gun I'd arbitrarily stronger than others, has absolutely no impact on the server so please shut your bitch ass up

Unfortunately DEA is a more combative department and normally PVPs with CI on surface (at least US). I would say it has a huge impact on server health considering when we are stuck in those PVP situations and come out losing it makes people hate the server and want to leave. This is not a "Serious RP Server". If this was Site 9 your point would be valid, but its not.

I disagree with the suggested weapon but agree the weapon should be changed. The AS Val is not viable for combat.

PS: People soying about combat balance suggestions make 0 sense as combat is a part of the server's core gameplay, if you want more RP suggestions quit bitchin and take the time to make a suggestion that actually tries to add what you're SO upset isn't being suggested. If you don't like that combat is involved in this server find a new one or wait for Site-9.

+support on the grounds that the as val one of the worst guns alongside the ERAD. as val is not good for combat, so for dea focusing on combat seems pretty silly

Could you explain why the AS Val isn't good in your opinion, instead of saying it "just sucks"
