Then how about sporting rifles? If you assume an assault rifle to be 5.56
mm, then a sporting rifle is something in the order of 7.62 mm NATO,
.30-06, and up (.338 Magnum?). 7S is a joke in that case, so they'd need
to be increased as well, probably to something like 10S to 12S. That
brings up machineguns -- MMGs would fire similar ammo as sporting rifles,
so they'd have to go to that damage as well. But that makes them more
powerful than HMGs. What do we do with those?
So in short, I think that what you're suggesting leads to an increase in
the damage for a whole load of weapons...
