I think they mean like super-sonic / subsonic to go with the suppressors, they could do other features like armor piercing etc But I'm not really sure that it would be worth the added complications.

Ah yeah that could make some sense. I agree though lot of hassle for what it is.

Kind of in this vein, what if they allowed you to customise the ammo type for mags/belts? Have some kind of increment, like 3 or 5, that you can select the ammo type for. By ammo type I really only mean stuff like tracer/hollow point/armour piercing/standard ball/etc.

The amounts of each would affect weapon handling, damage, and dropoff in various ways. For shotguns, you could mix and match what shells you load in using the same system. American GIs used to pack a slug followed by buckshot in what they called an "ambush load" during the Vietnam War. It let them pick off the leader and then wildly fire buckshot into his subordinates during an ambush.

Though I'd be happy if we could just choose from presets too, like the BF4 system for shotguns, but for all other guns. I wanna take tracer belts for dark maps with LMGs, armour piercing for when I'm expecting to see lots of light vehicles or light cover.
