Hopefully MM will take a long look at this stuff for the next patch.
I think most things are balanced. some are more powerfull low in the research tree, others you have to get up a few levels before they pay off. likewise some weapons are better as their smaller component than as ther larger. not everything breaks down to simple distance/damage/reload, there are more involved payoffs in different angles of the tech tree.
small PPBs should not necesicarily be uberweapons just because PPBs are, the balance factor there could be that they dont scale well so you get a useless small weapon in exchange for a killer standard weapon. thats an extreme example, but you get the idea.
