Caldari are meant to be 'siege warfare' specialists, using a combination of nanohives, nanite injectors and long range weaponry to hold ground and push forward.
Amarr are meant to be 'armored warfare' specialists (using uplinks to quickly advance their heavily armored suits to the front)
Gallente are meant to be 'information warfare' specialists, using scanners, stealth, and speed/recovery to kill and redeploy.
Minmatar are meant to be 'skirmish warfare' specialists, using speed, versatility and overwhelming firepower to hit everywhere.

Can we please give Caldari a shotgun? The idea of either a railgun loaded with Flechette or a missile HMG is extremely enticing for my Minmatar self to steal and use on a MinAssault.
If the breach shotgun was a thing that actually worked and it was something along the lines of a 20m 2 pellet slug shotgun with a moderate magazine size, it would probably be entirely okay.
I've been using the plasma cannon a bit on an alt recently and it feels like a really 'reliable' weapon (despite its unreliability) throughout most of its range. You can use it for anti infantry, you can use it for anti-installation, you can use it for anti-vehicle. You can take long shots at targets without feeling too bad for missing, you can use it against stationary targets and insta-dead them at max range, you can nail people at 40-70m relatively easily, you can kill people at short range with a good body shot... and even if you don't you probably still got splash damage on them so that's awesome. All of the support skills feel valuable on the plasma cannon (reload is a DPS increase, ammo increases total carried by ~50%, proficiency amplifies damage).
I wish that the swarm launcher functioned like the plc (instead of its current HERP DERP VEHICLE DETECTED DEPLOYING 0-SKILL F.A.R.K.O.F.F. MISSILES) and that the amarr had a weapon that functioned similarly as well. Swap the profile to a 'hybrid' type and it'd be kay (minmatar already have the mass driver, they can go to hell). The sniper rifle is just lacking for a 'utility' option on the caldari, especially on the commando.
Aside from re-tooling existing weapons though, I dont think that the caldari 'need' any new weapons aside from maybe a heavy anti-infantry gun... a twin-linked heavy rail rifle with a ( o o ) reticule.
