The biggest reason why ZP doesn't like the jackal or the plasma is that they are either equivalent or slightly superior to the SMGs in the game. If every projectile gun was as good compared to SMGs as the Jackal & plasma, the game balance would be awesome.

Release OP guns, make money on day 1 once the word gets around that it's broken and powerful.
