I really wonder about weapon implementation. Why is the Avanger Minigun available but not the G11 or the YK32 Pulse Pistol for that matter?
There are strong sniper rifles and strong big weapons in the game but a lack of alternative builds. As has been mentioned, the shotguns are pretty weak as well. I mean, the YK32 only has 15 range which should compensate for it's high damage. The G11 (and G11E) is worse at burst than the AM and surely not better at sniping than the best sniper rifles.
BTW, with available I mean craftable or purchaseable and not available in a very rare special encounter.
