Petition: Change Heavy Plasma

So, Heavy Plasma Rifle is pretty lackluster. Heavy, short, expensive. It barely has justification in the niche of utility headchopper.

While we don't have any official record sheets with it, can we make a petition to change it? Either:

A) Make damage 15/12/10, no other changes. Modify BV appropriately.

B) Swap the ranges of the LPR and HPR, modifying BV appropriately.

Heck, maybe both. LPR is kinda amazing, and would still be pretty good at 4/8/12, frankly. It's basically an auto-take anti-Combined at the current extreme range. Making it shorter in exchange for dropping the BV might actually be an improvement. What do y'all think?
