either that or the AR needs a bit of a buff to make it better (But NOT BOTH...adjust in only one way at a time...)

but yeah, I got to disagree with you that fitting cost shouldn't be a factor in balancing stats...it just shouldn't play as major of a role as it seems to be right now

Well my point being that fitting cost should encourage things like racial matching and discourage goofy fits that shouldn't exist. However the general cost of fitting weapons, at least things that are in the same category such as Rifles, should be roughly equivalent in terms of general cost. (Obviously PG and CPU will differ between weapons, but overall it shouldn't be significantly harder to fit one rifle over another, as that lends to it being innately better which is bad)
