Meanwhile, rifles have 3 calibers, 2 carbines and 2 DMR. There's like no middle ground here. DO you wanna pay 10,000 or 100,000 for your rifle? Do you want 'eh' damage or 'op' damage?
If you add in the shotguns, this gets a little better, 2 gauges, with some variation on 12 gauge. But there's still like 12ish pistols to like 8 weapons in the 'rifle' catagory.
However, I know adding new ammot types and all that is a pain, adding new mag types to the game is a pain. SO let me offer a fun suggestion.
Conversion Carbines!
These are pistols that have been converted to rifles by adding a stock, and sometimes an extended barrel and scope. You already have the munitions skill in game, this would allow them to convert a pistol into a rifle. WHat does this look like you ask? Well here you go. SOme examples from Hunt Showdown, as well as rl.
This would give rifle users some middle ground weapons besides shotguns.
I plan to go into short blades and long blades on other threads.
