Thought I'd post some ideas for weapons that could be added, I doubt the Devs will see this, but I might as well post it to get y'all's opinions on it, anyway, let's get started!

US/ South Vietnam forces:

Ingram MAC-10:






Era: Late war
Possible faction use: USMC, US Army, possible US Special forces faction in future.
Slot: Sidearm/primary
Class: Machinegunner, Commander, Pointman, engineer
Possible variants: Unsuppressed with 32 round magazine, suppressed with 20 round magazine
Opinion: I think this could add some much-needed variety for CQB engagements
More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC-10

M1903A4 Springfield:





Era: Early war, Mid war-Late war*
Possible faction use: U.S. Army, USMC, Southern Vietnamese Army
Slot: Primary
Class: Marksman
Possible variants: Small scope variant, A5 scope variant, ironsights variant
Opinion: Seeing how the US didn't use the M40 at first, this would be a very cool rifle to take its place on early war maps, *also the Southern Vietnamese used these extensively through the whole war unlike the US forces.

S&W M76:









Era: Mid war-Late war
Possible faction use: USMC, US Army, Southern Vietnamese Army
Slot: Primary
Class: Pointman, Commander, Engineer
Possible variants: Basic model
Opinion: Just to add some needed variety to the SMG's
More Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_%26_Wesson_M76

IMI UZI:










Era: Mid war-Late war
Possible faction use: USMC, US Army, Southern Vietnamese Army, Possible US special forces faction
Slot: Primary
Class: Pointman, Commander, Engineer
Possible variants: Folding stock model, solid wood stock model
Opinion: Just to add some needed variety to the SMG's, plus this is one badass SMG
More Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzi

XM148 grenade launcher:







Era: Mid war-Late war
Possible faction use: U.S. Army, Australian Army, Southern Vietnamese Army
Slot: Both*
Class: Grenadier
Possible variants: Standard 40mm ammo variants
Opinion: Ok, so this would be a very interesting addition, this is a mid war, single shot, under mounted grenade launcher for the M16 rifle, *It would take up both the primary and secondary slots so it isn't too OP, and would allow the Grenadier to be used in more than just a mid-long range offensive and defensive role, it would allow them to be used in CQC with a better chance for self defense using the M16.

M203 Grenade Launcher:






Era: Late war
Possible faction use: U.S. Army, USMC, Southern Vietnamese Army
Slot: Both*
Class: Grenadier
Possible variants: Standard 40mm ammo variants
Opinion: essentially the same role as the XM148 except it would replace the XM for the US Forces on late war maps, could also have a faster reload as the XM is extremely bulky and heavy unlike the M203

North Vietnam forces:
(I won't be naming specific factions due to the weapons being universally used by all forces with little restriction)

Nagant M1895 revolver:











Era: Early war-Late war
Slot: Secondary
Class: All
Possible variants: Standard, suppressed available for marksman class
Opinion: Very widely used due to Soviet weapons being donated by the dozen
More Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagant_M1895

Škorpion vz. 61 automatic pistol:











Era: Mid war-Late war
Slot: Secondary
Class: Marksman, RPG, Machinegunner
Possible variants: Basic model
Opinion: Just a little PDW for classes that aren't viable in mid to short range combat
More Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0korpion

Vz. 58:







Era: Late war
Slot: Primary
Class; Any with access to AK pattern rifles
Possible variants: Fixed stock model, folding stock model
Opinion: very interesting rifle, which can be fed by stripper clips, and even has a bolt release similar to the M16
More Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vz._58

StG 44:







Era: Early war-Late war
Slot: Primary
Class: Commander
Possible variants: Basic model
Opinion: Although rare, it offered a slow rate of fire with ballistics similar to the 5.56 round
More Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StG_44

Mauser Kar98k:




Era: Early war-Late war
Slot: Primary
Class: Marksman
Possible variants: standard iron sights, scoped rifle
Opinion: similar role as the Mosin but with a faster rate of fire and reload
More Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karabiner_98k

MAS-36 rifle:










Era: Early war-Late war
Slot: Primary
Class: Rifleman
Possible variants: Basic rifle
Opinion: I think it'd be interesting for the rifleman to have access to a carbine with a bit more punch and range to it than the SKS, though it is balanced by a smaller magazine and lower rate of fire
More Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAS-36_rifle

PPS-43 submachine gun:






Era: Early war-Late war
Slot: Primary
Class: any with access to other SMG's
Possible variants: Basic model
Opinion: Just to add some needed variety to the SMG's
More Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPS_submachine_gun

MG-34/42:









Era: Early war-Late war
Slot: Primary
Class: Machinegunner
Possible variants: 250 round belt, 50 round box magazine
Opinion: High rate of fire killing machines, perfect for cutting through the jungle
