Hmm kinda smells New Vegas
the Idea is no bad actually, adding a gl, scoop, extended magazine ( a minigun with 240 ammo capacity would be even better ^^). But how many extansions will you put on it ? If you can put every extension, well there is no point to do it because everyone will do the same. If you can only have one option people will choose the most efficient one.
concerning the weapons. Heh. Kilgore said he will add some new energy weapons after wipe, but another important thing is the balance.
I played on TLAMKII, the arsenal of weapons there is huuuuge. But ppl usually ran with Vindis, hyperboloids, (which were supposed to destroy rocks), an aircraftgun with a 70 hexes range, anti-tank rifle etc... People were always searching for it's composants and never cared about other tonns of weapons.
check the list if you want:

http://fonline.ru/wikimk2/index.php?title=%D0%9E%D1%80%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B5I'd like to see in the game an uncraftable fatman. With the same animation as a rocket launcher, but with possible hex shooting up to 50 hexes. Twice as strong as a regular Rocket Launcher. Uncraftable mininukes which would do rad damage and a hard knockback in the face of your opponent. Maybe found in TC lockers, dungeons and encounters. Could be funny to use in PvP. But will it unbalance the PvP ? I have no idea...
What could be also nice to see ig a Plasma Gatling.
From Energy Burst Weapons we have only the Uncraftable Gatling Laser.
A Plasma Gatling could do more damage but would have a shorter range (cuz it's Plasma kurwa). Also uncraftable, but may be farmable ? Or Spawning regulary in dungeons like Ares ? Now Ares is covered in rust, there is absolutely NOTHING to do.
Concerning Machine Guns... I'd like to see Browning M2. Stronger than Bozar 50 - 60 dmg and shooting 5 rounds 7.62 ammo ? Or just Implement .50 BMG ?
it's kinda complicated. I think, it would be bad to unbalance the game with it. But If there is a solution which would keep the game still interesting and balanced with these weapons. Hah, why not ?
