On the contrary, I'd keep nagg's definition, since a grenade launcher excludes the possibilities, imo, of guns, for example, similar to the flak cannon. Where as an "explosive projectile flinger" doesn't.

Imo, a gun like a shock rifle shouldn't fall into the assault rifles category. Then again, the shock rifle has the possibility to explode his own energy sphere (what ever you want to call those). I don't know honestly... in InsaneRussian's video, the laser gun didn't feel like an ordinary assault rifle. Although you could be right, it could even be a type of bullet, or a customization.

their could be separate classes for smgs, assault rifles and heavy mgs or they could all be together.
Hence why we included Machine Guns previously seen in the screenshots where the gun had a ~200 bullets mag. But that's true, they could all fall into the same category (which would be great since there'd be more possibilities )
