But we can all agree that destroying team weapons is bullshit
This is the whole fucking point. If PTRS can do it, so should Bazooka and Pzschrek. At least Pzschreck can deal with armor and has a function, Bazooka is a pure waste.
Again, the problem is Consblob "destroying" team weapons with 360noscope accuracy, head-on.
The problem IS not "Guards being used again after ages". The problem is not "Guard are actually good versus infantry" and the problem is not PTRS-in general-soft countering light and medium armor.
