I don't see why. The DUCs in game all use the same picture, and have a wide variety of damage and range. Same thing here.
True. But with this idea, you would have stream, pulse, and projectile weapons, all cross mixed. i would think to do it right it would require a lot more pics. Not that it is not possible, or that the game wouldn't be able to handle it, but being able to tell at a glance the different varations. Maybe the same pic with a color change (blue, red or green DUC barrels; ect..)

And not to bring up an old subject, but I have a hard time distingushing the APB and the Meson bLaster color differences. When I say "red" I mean a lighter/brighter shade, not one so dark. (if thats what the Meson is using. lol). You get the point. I hope.
