Xolerate:
Ok, am I the only one who finds T+T weapons good? They are perfect in my perspective.. They might have a few bugs but they are alright.

T+T is thematically linked
the DB shotgun and the pyrogun are not
also, the guns don't play well together, from a purely gameplay-level standpoint

neither does t+t
tell me, how many people actually use the sport rifle or the pistol unless they have to?
how many people use the assault rifle?
your "balanced weapon system" is stuff.
Bushido:
i use the assault rifle almost constantly and it's a staple on most servers
the pistol is a completely viable sidearm and it's also a staple due to the fact it's usable at all ranges
i'm not sure about the sport rifle. technically it's basically a magnum with a hugeass magazine but nobody seems to use it, which is fine. i guess. it's balanced, just unpopular
either way what're you on about

nobody in the right mind uses the assault rifle, it's just there, because it has no use. it's a slower firing battle rifle. infact, it sucks more than the battle rifle because bullets travel so slow, and the sheer mass of battle rifle fire compensates for that.
people never use the sport rifle because why would you when it's pretty much a non-hitscan military sniper.
the pistol is a loving peashooter and it's impossible to hit anyone at range unless they stand still.
Bushido:
the battle rifle is super forgetin easy to dodge at anything beyond mid-short range and the assault rifle does double damage for every first shot in a burst. they're different playstyles and you clearly move toward the battle rifle (and that's fine) but the assault rifle is better at conserving ammo due to it's comparatively low rate of fire and mid-long range areas within maps; even though the battle rifle's stronger within a certain area the assault rifle is more versatile and still is useful at all ranges
note: nobody designs maps like this. actually, nobody designs maps period: again, floating platforms
the sport rifle is basically a magnum, the only difference is that it actually uses magazines
the pistol is totally a peashooter but how the hell are you not hitting things at range it's like super forgetin accurate
unless you're trying to get someone from across the atlantic ocean or something
