Rebalanced and Expanded Rifles
**Major update (Aug. 19th, 2022)! Extensive balance changes have been made, and a new class of weapon has been added; resulting in three new weapons.**
—
This is a mod that rebalances rifles, in addition to adding fourteen new ones; separated into five classes – one of which is a returning weapon.
—
This mod has made many changes. Changes of particular note are: reduced heat; increased velocities; decreased cooldown; better ammunition densities; earlier introduction dates for the Gauss class; and adjusted pricing. (Increased for all rifles except for the Gauss Rifle (due to their improved performance); with the Gauss Rifle having a decreased price.)
Please see the following Google Docs data sheet for the specifications of all weapons; including original MW5 values, and documentation on the previous version: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15wnfo6qGpX4vGBimZySxsWf4rYRTfi45bUrQtx5YkEg/edit?usp=sharing

This mod was made to add more flexibility in how one wants to play the game – especially at longer ranges – and to make it more fun. It’s addition of more rifles is meant to provide alternatives to extended-range lasers and energy weapons for long range projectile play with variations in cooldown and damage output while at lower heat.
I hope you enjoy.
{P.S.: I’m no "modder": I’m just doing what I can to make the game – ideally – more fun. As a result, things may not be perfect with other mods that affect damage values; otherwise, everything should be fine. The mod is DLC agnostic, too.}
