Think about the fact that someone carrying Proto Swarms needs to also carry a proto sidearm if they want to last any longer against infantry than a militia scout. If you have ever used a maximized Swarm Launcher build with full complex mods, proto sidearm, proto grenades. That SOB cost a crap ton and yet is EXTREMELY vulnerable to the lowliest of militia builds.
Or they're a commando...
Not to mention proto side arms are like 15k, so you're still in the black.

So hyperbole got the best of me. Still, 38k (I checked) for a proto type weapon is much better than the 47-77k of other weapons. If you're going to bring proto, be prepared to pay the price (I know I do every time I bring an ADS). Don't bring what you will later go on the forums to moan about can't afford to lose, etc, etc.
+100k for a decent AV suit? Why would you use something like that, especially if you're getting killed a lot, when you can be slightly less efficient for a fraction of the cost? An ADV suit, WSL (heck, I ok with STD suits and a CBR) will get great mileage in the typical pub match, and should only cost like 50-60k (if even).
And don't give me that bull that you need "every percent to kill" whatever you're shooting at the time. Suits like your Min commando get equal bonuses across tiers, so you're only really missing out on like <5% more damage or so because of one damage mod (plus stacking penalty).
Oh, but God forbid! you can't insta-kill every single thing you shoot at with your auto-locking, auto-homing, dirt cheep, now speedy +1.2k/shot base AV weapon. Alas! You can't be completely immune from all other aspects of the game while you skill-lessly unleash volley after volley.
Perhaps try this sometime. (PS you can use a CBR, save almost 30k, and only lose like 200hp/volley).
And yes I have to fly to the bloody sky to escape you because it's all I can do to freaking survive. 4 shots is a guaranteed kill, and you can get those off LONG before I can even know where you are, let alone can engage you (not to mention realign time after being hit every time). I have less than half a second to dodge your third volley as soon as your first on hits (because your second is already on the way and is a guaranteed hit).
