Laser Pistols in this game are basically SMGs actually, or handfuls of hellfire.

As long as I get the heavy version of whatever we get, I'm happy.

Good, then arm Ramirez with one of those when we get it, I love CQC.

But for now, a Laser Rifle is good.

Also bullshit, I was doing plenty of the work, I demand a promotion! *Begins grumbling like Frederick.*

I have no idea what the game thinks of as the criteria for promotion. Frederick has the highest mission-to-kill ratio in the squad, at 3:3, but he wasn't promoted. Everyone else is 3:1 except for Mal and Phantom, who are 1:0 and 3:2 respectively.

And the Science Division is currently working on making PEWPEWPEW weapons for us. About the Laser Pistol, it's pretty strange. It's extremely inaccurate (even for lasers) but it has the fastest auto-shot rates in the game.

So, Azzuro, when them Laspistols come to town, d'you mind arming Ramirez with one, as well as a Stun Baton thingy?

Hehe, he won't live long, but it'll be cool if he can stun some aliens for SCIENCE!

It doesn't matter how good Frederick is, there's already a full payload of other members. According to this, you're going to need more members before Frederick can rocket up the ranks.

I'll take a guy.

Name: Chad Reynolds
Gender: M
Bio: fresh-faced kid out of the Navy Seal training program. Scored well enough to pass with flying colors, but has never actually seen combat. He sees himself as a sort of warrior-poet, but despite his intellect, he can't write worth a damn.
Preferred equipment- rifle, then laser rifle, then plasma rifle, then add a blaster bomb. You know, in case you need an alternate point of entry.

In my game the heavies usually end up getting promoted, but Mal would love to be a sergeant... or at least fire his weapon.

As a side note, I would like Mal to be relatively indiscriminate with his heavy weapons fire. Alien possibly in building? Blow it up. Tough shot past many friendlies? Take it... what could possibly happen? Cross-map shot? Go for it. Missiles are made for explodin', so let's make them happy.
