I also think Needle Gun should be re-named to Coil Gun. 'Needle' just sounds too weak.

Then again, a mini gun sounds likes its small…buts its actually anything but mini.

By the way: Is there any chance the sound for laser-based weapons might get changed? This "chiuwm"-like noise is what people are used to from SciFi movies, what probably is the reason it is employed in WZ. But I could easily record the real life rattling sound of a laser, since my sister works in chemical research an deals with high energy lasers on a daily basis. Well, of course it is not the laser making any sound really, but rather the discharging capacitors. Or might this lead to players mistaking laser sound for machine-gun fire?

Well, Warzone lasers are silent. The sound you hear are just the game alerting you to the fact that a laser is being fired.

If you have better "stereotypical laser" sounds, by all means, upload them.
