 Re: rewrite
-I don't think I (or the wiki) should really be an arbitor of "this is good/bad at X", because, for a lot of weapons, it really does depend. How should ''anyone'' value Revolver's stagger vs Autopistol's DPS? AR's range might make it better against breachers, but a CR's damage might make it better... against the same target.

There are clear-cut cases, like shotgun v AR or pistol v AR, which ''are'' listed as-is, but the finer differences are tough to hash out.
-Differences like shotgun v AR are clear cut, and are in subsections for a reason. Things like AR vs HSMG aren't really - the rewrite already states SMG is "skill friendly" while AR has +range = better for breachers and co.
+Whenever a player would prefer any given choice would depend on playstyle, difficulty, base layout, and personal preference, which are impossible to fully control for. I understand the theorem of "tell new players a strict rule first, then let them learn to break it" but i'm not confident, in general, here.

 (i also don't know what "branching progression" means here)
