Caws is just as hard to craft as the Pancor though. Nearly same resources. Caws does need a buff IMO.
Maybe make it Pancors twin, just one different feature making it each gun have an advantage over a different situation. For example, maybe give H&K Caws more range and less damage, Pancor less range more damage.
Or an idea of my own, Make caws have a 24 clip and burst with 12 bullets. Nerf the damage to 16-22, lower knock back chance and make it incompatible with Gecko breath. This would make it fun to 1-hex with a shotty.
