Any automatic weapon (CG, AR, LAR, NJ4, TCN4, X1, Falcon etc.) deals 100% to light, 90% to medium, 80% to heavy. Any semi auto weapons deal 100% to all classes. This would improve the eagle pistol markedly which is something that has been an issue for a while, as well as not penalizing snipers.

This thread is just my take on a more elegant implementation of that simple idea, I'd be happy if either the simple solution or the Armour Piercing stat were implemented in some way; both address the same issue. _________________ This signature is green.
