For some reason goofball made me in charge of all guncrafting changes and I made some, all changes here.

Understandable. But when I look at the commits on the PR, it is exactly the same PR(Well, for the most part)

my opinions aren't worth shit but despite this im just gonna throw out my two cent's on the whole guncrafting thing:
-interesting idea, probably would not work out overall due to people worrying about powercreep sec ruining muh murderbones
-if it is implemented, should require research or SOMETHING to make it so there isn't roundstart syndi equipment equivalents for sec

im really torn about this because on the one hand i think that the original armory was fine as it was, but on the other hand having sec be able to "evolve" the same way the other departments can as the round goes on would be nice, not to mention it creates a good counter to blobs other than just RnD (yes i actually like blob and think it should get tlc, but thats a topic for a different thread).

overall its gonna be hard either way because this is inherently gonna need a lot of testing and balancing, which is a) hard to do, b) nobody wants to do, and c) hard to implement / test. my opinions on goof aside, ill keep an eye on it and chime in every once and a while.

As an RD player the idea of the sec team busting into research to do R&D and get 'tha best gunz' fills me with both delight and anger.

To avoid splitting discussion, and as this is existing coding seeking feedback, might be better to use https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=9258 as the central thread?
