LOL no, every heard of realism buddy?
Notice your weapon vanishes the instant you put it away and swap to something else, this is called hammerspace (look it up you noobcakes). Now imagine you decide to take this super-heated HMG or ScR and put it in your hammerspace and swap to your other weapon, now everything else in hammerspace is going to cook, ammunition reloads will cook off since heat doesn't dissipate, your grenades go off, your nanohives and derplinks melt and fuse with everything, and the next time you open hammerspace and swap back all of a suden a mushroom cloud of molten metal and fire blows out of your body, vaporizes your hand and leaves a twelve kilometer smoking crater where you used to stand, with nothing remaining but your blackened face with your pearly whites staring in shock before you collapse into ash.
Sounds stupidly unsafe? Well, it is, and it will unlife you faster then you can say pubtrash.

Did you just take my hammerspace comment about realism seriously?
I'm sorry, I hope your day improves.
Anywho, the real issue here is Game Balance trumps realism. It's just a "balance" mechanic to reward skill and not shooting mindlessly with a particular weapon.

Copy pasta: "Go create a new char and after Academy record your gameplay using only the Assault Scrambler Rifle/Scrambler Rifle, show me this "Skill" you speak of when you're fighting against a vet."
All right, my project ends this Sunday, so I'll create an amarrian alt and do just that, though I'll only play Skirmish as the other two game modes don't appeal to me (especially spambush which is easily broken), I'll post results outside of academy. I don't have recording equipment, but I can easily do pictures of the leaderboard (proving fighting vets) and my KDR screen (shows damage received and dealt as well as the most used suit and weapon).
This will however be a hilariously bad example as I'm used to long range fighting with ScR and RRs, and those are honest-to-god easier to use then the short-ranged-as-hell AR and my newberry Gal alt (literally zero SP spent) has a positive KDR of about 1.5 outside of the academy despite those dreadful limitations. Also back when I wasn't doing vehicles constantly I had over a 6.0 KDR, and despite my goofing off I still have a 4.3 KDR, and no I rarely squad... So if you really want me, of all people, to do this experiment then sure, why the hell not.I even have it down to muscle memory for me at this point on not over heating.
It's called knowing the maps, knowing the mechanics, using cover and not being a loner numbskull. Obvious advantages that totally new players won't have.
See you in a few days! <3
PS: what would you like me to name the alt? This will be fun.
