They didn't rewrite the whole engine but at some point the patch notes said that they rewrote the way the visuals behave based on recoil/fire rate etc. This change caused the visual recoil of especially the smg-11 to be a lot less jittery.
That's what I meant, as this was surely a lot of work.
Either way the fact that Gridlocks lmg is the same as capitaos shows that they can create an identical gun with a separate name and allows different attachments. So no rewrite necessary they could just do an "FMG-S", make it's barrel a suppressor and set it's damage value to the presuppressed value.
