I liked all the change values except for 3 ARs. Very well thought out balance!

- MA5C can remain 32 round mag, but make the reload speed short mag tuned. (unless you're going for Halo CE 60 mag reference, I see! definitely did not just look that up btw. >,>)
- Suppressor must have 110 damage at very minimum to 1 tap devastator head/berserker head/rocket strider pod breakpoint, you'd otherwise require 2 shots in stealth gameplay, enemies get hiveminded/alerted because you can't 1 shot like censor can.
- sTa-52 also on same boat with MA5C, Short Mag reload speed to compete with existing weapon attachment system weapons. We don't need grunt fantasy reload speeds in the battlefield!!! >:C angery face. I also don't want to rely on Siege Ready passive just to feel better.

In MA5C's case, i am unable to change it's reload speed as it doesn't have different mags. So i made it MA5B.
About Suppressor, i tipped tapped it a bit and i think now it's balanced enough as medium pen weapon with silencer. Making more than 100 damage is too much for this weapon i think. It's original point was that it's doing good dps, not base damage. And in this mod it's kinda the same.
Aaand STA-52, same as MA5C can't change reload speed. But not just this, it also shares same projectile as liberator, so i can't change it's damage values and etc. I guess we can only accept that this is liberator clone.

Ahhh Fair Enough! Hmmmm yeah I suppose it's cool theres a silenced med pen AR now. I can say at the very least it can be the first Squid Stealth gun, 2 tapping Overseer Heads is now a possibility with the added chance of instantly knowing where you are if missing 2nd headshot before it alerts the outpost.
Bots, not possible. You'd still need censor to light pen those breakpoints efficiently.

1 shotting devastators or other medium enemies is censor's specification, that's why Suppressor don't do this. Funnily enough, firstly i tweaked this weapon to do wopping 130 damage and 400 fire fate. It transformed into marksman rifle 😁

um i notice that AR-23 Lib, AR-23 Con and AR-23 Pen all short mag are turn into 20 bullet per mag, extended are 35 and drum are 45, AR-59 extended mag are 35 while short mag are 30, but AR-23 Carbine all mag stay the same. Can you tell me this is intended or some mistake.
Love your work!
