As we know the dev's have been talking about cap'n off our speed at 3 and rasing the dmg a bit. Instead of doing all that would it not be easier and better to make stocks a req. for rifles. Increase the speed loss, increase the dmg gained per experiment point and drop the ham cost on stocks. Most or all rifles i know of in the real world have a stock of some sorts attached to it. Without a stock on a rifle would it not be more like a carbine? A novice rifleman would use a less dmg and faster normal stocked rifle while a master would prefer to use the slower speed ( due to speed gained by skills ) but higher dmg rifle. Ofcourse a master could still use the basic stockand fire at 1 a sec, but would not due nearly as much dmg as one who used a advanced stock on a rifle. As it is now using a stock on a gun is almost useless due to crappy materials, bad ham's and not much of a dmg gain vs. speed. This is just a thought i had before falling asleep last night. Feel free to addyour thoughts.

I dunno about your server but the stocked laser rifles on bloodfin are very good, just a bit higher ham costs than a t21 but mine powered up is 127-827, and now with skill enhancements working i have +99 rifle speed so you'd need to make like 100 speed guns to make me not fire once a second so they're really gonna have to cap the speed if they're going to want to slow us down.
