Is that why when I go launcher pistol shoping I have it filter only pistosl and there the launcher pistols are?
The launcher pistol is a Pistol that gives Heavy Weapon EXP, but it is still a pistol.
The Blaster Fist might be a melee weapon that gives Heavy Weapon EXP but will still be a Melee weapon.
The only heavy weapons we use are FTs, HARs, RLs, ASLs, HPBLs. We are trying to get more things that are not heavy weapons such as Carbines, Fists and rifles. We might just get this judging by the fact that theres a Proton Carbine and Rifle and Blaster Fist.

The LP is clasified as a "heavy weapon" because it's a Commando weapon...if they had "classified" anything as a heavy weapon in what they presented, would there be a question about where it was going to be cert'd...notice that they left off "who get's what weapon" on purpose...which brings us back to a very possible reason why we don't see any specific "heavy" weapon...but we do see a lot of possible "heavy" weapons that just haven't been cert'd to the heavy weapon profession as far as we know...this is why I say "don't assume anything"...The devs are trying to keep some mystery here and promote discussion/speculation....they don't want to give it all away (no matter how bad we want them too or how much we think they should) all at once...
garvin, i hope you pushed for the "commando only weapons" like..let ushave "Special Heavy Weapons" as our regular guns and pistols and such, rather than having to master Carbineer or other things for it to do something useful

...and it is like dangling a steak over a pit of starving pit bulls. Could fall under the ideal of cruel and unusual punishment 
I am glad they are giving some info though, as it is nice to see some possibly fun things coming. A good number of us have been waiting a while (including you, but you have a little more info but can' share unfortunately), and mystery sometimes frustrates more than helps... Not complaining, mind you, just ready for this all to be said and done with. Where is that fast forward button?
All the changes thus far are looking like they will be great, so it gives a lot of us faith that things will be better in the long run. I do also see why they want to stimulate discussion as things still could change, hope they take our desires into having more than just a flamer and nades for a hybrid prof after reading some of these ideas Thanks for doing a good job as always Garvin.
I see your point, I don't like it but i see it. Sadly I know you are right.

Ok. The NDA keeps you from saying what is or isn't going on. Accepted. But would the NDA permit someone "in the know" to answer the following question:
Is the new commando weapon presented in the pictured Friday Feature weapons listed in Part I?
It's a simple confirm/deny, nothing more.
The trail of breadcrumbs on the new commando weapon seems to lead to it not being a "special heavy weapon" so it could very well be included here, which means that the commandos are "loved".

To be completely honest, I can't really answer that question because:
1) the NDA won't let me reveal it...
2) Because certs could flux...our weapon/s coudl be there and then get re-cert'd to someone else...or our weapon/s might not currently be there, but later one or more get move around and end up cert'd to us...
When we see Part II (if it's like I hope it will be) I think we'll get a better idea on what might be our weapon/s and which are likely not our weapons...remember, there are at least 12 to 14 professions getting new certs...so it's obvious that other professions are feeling currently much as we are about what's the status on these weapons...

Completely honest you've always been. That's where you earned the respect that we all have for you.
Nonetheless, it was worth a shot to ask the question.
Stoopid NDA.
