I was skimming through the arsenal table and some of the new expansions that keep adding and adding more modifications to weapons, then I see the new gun havens books and I wonder... "who care ?".

It seems that no player would use a gun like it was sold but just as a way to provide a basic price and damage.

I am not opposed to classicals mods : silencer, laser, interface, ammo type and such.

But when you can nilly-willy adjust ammo capacity, rate of fire, type of fire, underbarrel additinal guns and such... I think we have long departed from the modding area and are in the "build your own" weapon.

Who would use a SS pistol when you can change it to a BF or even FA with massive recoil reduction ? what is the point of the Ingram and all its expansion when basically every other gun you encounter is modded to the top ? Why are the NPCs on official books never having any mods on their weaponnary while every character on forum, even begineer one got massively customised guns ?

Looks to me like things have gone out of hand.
