Point of suggestion is to change the "meta" to enable people to experiment with new builds, give variety to people. Specifically towards bursters to effect Town Control and Close Combat fights.
This is a 3 (or 4?) year long session and I bet some people are bored by now. Something simple like this could spice up the game and wake up those people who love to concept builds.

Starting with Burster weapon changes. Currently the P90c is heavily outweighed by the Avenger Minigun, with these changes the P90 will have next to equal combat potential against Avenger minigun. With P90c being possibly better in close combat fights it would make for interesting builds and something "fresh" to play with and against.
With these changes you would see LSW TC builds come into the scene while not outweighing the Avenger Minigun. Both have their advantages and disadvantages
XL being given a range boost it makes the weapon more viable and interesting for Town Control fights. Certain players have already been using it as it is but it's not strong enough currently and with LSW changes it would simply get overthrown as a weapon. This make it's really balanced and I could easily see people creating builds for it.
Aimshots next. Laser rifle (Ext. Cap) has always been the competitor against Sniper Rifle, and with LSW and XL receiving a range boost the sniper rifle was also given something to compensate slightly for that, and so the Laser rifle was also given extra damage, I'm sure with these changes a lot of people will be trying the Laser Rifle (Ext. Cap) in Town Control after buffs, it relies more on positioning and good leading to give it more value than the Sniper Rifle but surely worth it.
Pulse Rifle given extra range to make it a valuable T4 weapon for long range Combat.
Gauss Rifle given extra range to compensate for Sniper rifles bonus.
Gauss pistol is now seen as something more than a sniper rifle with bonuses. Snipers can specifically build for this item and make it as valuable as a Gauss Rifle.
Bozar given more range and single fire damage would definitely bring out the true fire power in single shot Big Gun Snipers. Something people haven't yet experienced due to its damage being lower than gauss rifle with an AP cost bigger than my D**k.
Frag grenades over plasma grenades haven't been a choice, it's a must. With these changes both will be equal.
If you disagree with this, explain your thoughts. A simple "-1" wont cut it.
