100 meter range on a militia gun... really?
Yeah, I think this is the one militia weapon I've been killed by more than any of the others. Maybe an increase to kick to make it really hard to use at those ranges or an increase in the charge-up time.
It's almost sad that since the introduction of the mlt RR, I've seen a drastic reduction to the amount of new players using the sniper rifle or sniper starter fit.
While I agree with you about the shotgun IWS, I've never had issues with it in-game, but then again I'm not one to die easily by a shotgun anymore. It does require light weapons level 4, so I can see why players would use it rather than the std version.
The mlt combat rifle is just as good as the standard one really. Increased kick would be nice, or a smaller clip.
The only other weapon I've had issues with is the mlt scrambler...but I feel it is still very balanced just as the other scramblers are. Most new players will overheat with it before they can do significant damage, but the real balancing factor is the -20% damage to armor.
Other than that, I'm glad a mlt HMG wasn't introduced. The main issue isn't damage output, but the fact that skilling into the HMG requires quite a bit of sp into weaponry.

I'm sure that you're already aware of this, but one of the single most important factors about mlt weapons/items is that they do NOT receive any bonuses from dropsuit or weapon skill bonuses.
While yes, any player can use the mlt version instead of the std or adv to get a decent damage output for a very low isk price...if they have prof in the weapon, any reload or ammo skills, or are using a suit that benefits said weapon (Amarr Assault laser/scrambler bonus for example), using mlt will decrease the preformance much more than just a few bullets in the mag and an increased reload speed.
This is the primary reason why I never use mlt even if I'm trying to save money...
