Not necessarily.
Full Version: Weapon Choices for a weapon specialist
Not necessarily.
So it looks like, in relative order, that my list of things to do / aquire (as far as weapons) are:
1) AA-16
2) Modify my ARES Alpha
3) Modify the AA-16
4) Sniper rifle of some sort (possibly a sporting rifle), LMG or MMG
5) Automatic GL
6) Modify the weapons from #4 & 5
Did I get my order right? Did I leave anything out?

You might want to look into the Steyr AUG from Arsenal. Statistically not as superior as the Alpha, but IMO much more versatile. You'll be combining a rile, assault rifle, LMG, and one other gun that I forget (SMG?) into one easily exchangable platform.

But, That is not an Underbarrel Weapon, mounted on a Firearm that is fired from the Shoulder... Anything that requires you to be behind the primary weapon to use is a bad choice to mount an underbarrel rocket/missile...

The underbarrel modification does not mention the under accessory slot, so it is possible to have up to three underbarrel weapons (Ex. An Ares Alpha with a built in GL, Underbarrel Flamethrower accessory and an underbarrel shotgun modification) by RAW.
Why do I have a sudden image of underbarrel weapons mounted to underbarrel weapons mounted to underbarrel weapons?

Actually it does and you can't.QUOTE ('Arsenal p. 148')
Please note that a firearm can only hold one upgrade of a type, either from a modification or from an accessory. Once a firearm holds a modification of a particular type, it cannot be further equipped with an accessory of that type. On the other hand, if a weapon has an accessory attached to it, this accessory must be removed before a modifi cation of the same type can be installed.
QUOTE ('Arsenal p. 153')
The underbarrel weapon modification cannot be combined with other underbarrel modifications or accessories that reduce recoil (foregrip, bipod, tripod, underbarrel weight). You cannot attach an underbarrel weapon to another underbarrel weapon.

Thanks Dakka Dakka for injecting a bit of reason here...
