AC is not a game just for fun

Take a step back and tell yourself: AC is only about fun. What you do with AC to achieve that fun is up to you. When "fun" is no longer the end goal for you, it's time to take a breath and re-think the game. Though I think I see what you mean: The competition, and trying your best, and improving, are also fun.

@JMM:
I love the idea of having shell-by-shell reload for shotgun. This way reload time can be a bit shorter, unless you want to fully reload the weapon. I remember reading a similar idea for it where you can interrupt the reload process. That would definitely make an interesting variable.
As for the assault rifle, now that it has 20 rounds per mag, I'd be hard-pressed to agree that we need to "make up for the slight lack of firepower." AR is the only weapon I have trouble defending against. Getting hit with a barrage of even just 5 rounds with that accuracy at that range is a constantly-repeating reminder that "You got fragged by DES|Godsmack" means the same as "AR has no lack of firepower."

...Or "Godsmack has no lack of skill," not sure which.
