How would you rate an Ares Alpha without the underbarrel greande launcher in terms of legality and availability?
The way I see it, an underbarrel grenade launcher is 10F, while most assault rifles without one are in the 4R (AK-97) to 11R (Colt Inception), with a few exceptions (Shiawase Arms Monsoon at 10F, Yamaha Raiden at 14F, and HK XM30 weapons platform at 15F). The Ares Alpha is a powerful assault rifle only matched in terms of DV by the Yamaha Raiden (higher magazine capacity, 14F) and the Ultimax Rain Forest Carbine (no full-auto and smaller magazine capacity, 8R).
I would personally keep the availability at 12 since it would be a niche product, likely after-market modified, but make it Restricted instead of Forbidden as it no longer possesses a grenade launcher, but I'd like to hear other people's thoughts.
