Yea I'm bored at work again... 
so the thought is...
HEAVY modifications. I'm talking, turning a carbine into a pistol modifications.
Imagine taking a laser rifle, sawing off the barrel, replacing the grip with a more angled one, wrapping it in leather, then tweaking the gun for speed and damage, giving you an inaccurate, but exceptionally fast and powerful hand cannon.
Or converting the Renegade pistol into a a two handed compact tactical carbine, or a BH shortening the length of his high velocity sniper rifle for discreet carrying.
How bout a carbine length T21 with extra modifications for speed and cooling.
Or of course, a pearl handled, gold-plated FWG5 with a ported extended marksman barrel... for the stylish smuggler on the go.
And make each modification independent of the others, if you want to wrap the handle in cloth or leather, that doesn't mean you have to shorten the barrel, etc. Basically any weapon mod you can dream of, it can be done. Assuming you have the right components of course. A mix of loot, craftables, and quest rewards.
And here's the clincher. Some mods could be done by a WS, some by the profession itself, and the less legal mods would be the domain of the smuggler.
course they'd have to fix appearances, add a ton more, and change it so guns could be switched from one category to another, but it's not outside the realm of possibility.
You'd see a lot more variety in weapons, and probably some pride in your weapon beyond simply its stats.
I know I'd personally carry a sawed-off pistol-handled Czerka modified to fire in a cone, and a Renegade with modified barrel and laser sight, converted to full-auto
