If one thinks about it--when has Gallente received a new weapon?
And when one thinks about it further--Gallente has little to no long range weapon.
Plasma Cannon = skill, close-med range
Shotgun = spray and pray, close range
AR = skill/spray and pray, close-med range
Ion Pistol = Skill close range.
My first suggestion--Gallente Designated Marksman Rifle, or DMR:
Specs:
Weapon type -- Hybrid Rifle (Gallente equivalent to a ScR). Comes with ACOG scope of some sort.
Basic - Proto
PG: 11 -- 20
CPU: 26 -- 81
Dmg: 78 -- 82
RPM: 700 (Single Fire)
Optimal Range: 55 m
Possible Range: 100 m
Accuracy Rating: 58 - 59
Ammo in Clip: 30
Reload Time: 2.25 s - 2 s
My second suggestion -- Gallente LMG
Specs:
Weapon type -- Hybrid Light Machine Gun (Uses light slot)
Basic - Proto
PG: 5 - 11
CPU : 50 - 90
Dmg: 40 -- 49 (Possibly 50 -- 56)
RPM: 700 (Fully Auto)
Optimal Range: 75 m
Possible Range: 125 m
Accuracy Rating: 51 -- 53 (56--58 when deployed) or something of the lines.
Ammo in Clip: 75 (MLT variant) -- 100 STD/ADV/Proto
Reload Time: 3.5 s
Potential downside of using: -5% to Sprint/Walk speed
I was thinking perhaps, LMG's come with a stand. Therefore, you can deploy your LMG like you would on an LAV and it could function as a turret, per se, while packing a larger punch but slower ROF, and when the stand is deployed (which makes you a bigger target), the recoil is decreased.
Otherwise, when carrying the LMG one can use the Iron Sights and run with it. Hipfire would be hard to control, meant to be ADS/Deployed.
What does everyone think?

Tac AR has limited clip and functionality.
But fine, if no DMR at least LMG.
LMG slow rate of fire but higher damage = good contrast against HMG players.
Especially if LMG players are allowed a slightly longer effective range than HMG, there will be a TON of QQ'ers, I can see it already.

I think I understand why.
There's no contrast between your version of the LMG and the HMG. There's not a reason to switch to an LMG if its almost the same as the SMG/HMG ...
In this rendition, I'm saying LMG's should have slower ROF but higher damage. Basically replacing the breach AR (but with a better RPM than Breach) and a larger clip.
The cost, of course, would be slightly higher CPU/PG cost as well as perhaps a deduction in speed. (Speed penalty, in other words)

so essentially, you want to it be a Rail Rifle then ... If you haven't figured it out yet, the Gallente AR variants are all attempted copies at the other factional weapons. Tac = ScR Breach = RR Burst = CR Tac : almost same damage, but no heat build it Breach: almost same damage, no charge up time Burst: Higher damage per bullet There are benefits to these "copied" weapons as shown but cons against their original counterparts, as you cant have them outperform the originals; as why would you skill into the originals then ?
Actually, it is the other way around.
They aren't copies--they are merely renditions of the traditional assault rifle--offered in different fire-mode settings. You have your semi-auto Tac, more accurate and better for long range (mimicing real life, to a degree), then you have the burst-fire Burst Rifle, offering a potentially higher RPM provided one has a good trigger finger. At last, your traditional fully auto Assault Rifle.
We note that the AR existed in DUST Long before the ScR, RR, and CR arrived.
In comparison, the Assault ScR and Assault CR are quite similar to the Regular AR.
Assault ScR is similar to the real life variant of AKM, powerful but with much recoil. Unlike the AKM, it features a higher RPM than the AR, and a higher damage.
Assault CR on the other hand, is more like a PPSh, not much stopping power but high ROF, mobility.

The difference is that assault suits would be able to use them instead of only heavy suits. DPS should be a lower than the HMG but I would like to see 400 round, 2000 rof, 12-15 dpb LMGs on the market for assault suits.[/quote]
Thank you for your feedback! I see a lot of people like this idea of having a high ROF LMG. Arguably, perhaps they can create an "Assault LMG" Variant offering a much higher ROF but lowered Damage. This would be at the risk of higher recoil as well, as a slower firing LMG could offer less recoil, depending on the build.
I'm thinking of the BF3 rendition of LSAT when I think of Gallente LMG, to be honest.

Can I have an Amarr Grenade now?
Nosferatu or Flashbang plz.
Please specify further--a new weapon? Surely you mean the Ion Pistol? That's a joke if you ask me, sure it may be a weapon but it is a sidearm, none the less. Perhaps the LMG may NOT have any racial bonuses, and for all I care it could be Caldarian LMG. However Gallente makes more sense to me, since we use bullets (or the essential concept of them) and/or hybrid weaponry. (AR)
