Gallante
As others have mentioned, Gallante needs droens
Drone Gun-
Whether this should be anti infantry or anti tank, I haven't made up my mind yet, but essentially you paint your target with a gun and small drones would fly out and attack the target. This would make a unique weapon based on what kind of range you give it and what kind of damage / area of effect it would have , these decisions could simple be variants of the weapon as well. It could be the competing weapon sitting next to snipers or the Av weapon for Gallante. If it was an AV weapon it could prevent passive regeneration as well as constant damage. This would fill the void in the game and lore dealing with the Gallante's high usage of drones
Chain Plasma thrower
Short range weapon, instead of bullets it shoots out plasma (in the form of something aesthetically similar to multiple strings of lighting) as a constant stream that connects to the target if given a close enough and direct path. The target's suit could then suffer from some form of debilitation from the weapon like minor involuntary spastic controls, making it harder for the user to counter. More of a steady damage crowd control than a sweeper.
Caldari
PDW
You can look up what a PDW is. Using the Rail gun Mechanic of Caldari, the weapon would have a 2 or 3 second charge up time upon holding the trigger to fire a 3 or 5 round burst. The weapon would be high damage, half of the range of the AR. Since the weapon can't lead an assault as it would be out ranged, and can't respond as fast to being ambushed due to the delay, I wanted this as a side arm. I see this as an stealth/ambush weapon somewhat being a mix between the pistol and smg
Minmatar
Anti Tank Rifle aka Guerrilla Rifle
Think Sniper rifle but with incendiary or explosive rounds, it would be a heavy weapon, be a near instantaneous shot like the forge gun, it would have a better fire rate but do a lot less damage. Essentially it is able to constantly harass tanks and actually do it damage. It would be less effective against shields and more so against armor. While it is not the best anti infantry weapon it is better than the forge gun at this task. I think this fits into the minmatar lore while adding a new new weapon class.
Amar
Laser blade
No this isn't star wars with a constant beam, but it is a "melee " side arm with a hilt but only pulsates a laser when thrusted. It has longer range than the nova knife and can be used while moving but is only high damage if the target is hit with the right spacing. While this isn't part of our modern weaponry, I didn't classify this as a unique weapon due to the sheer popularity of the idea.
