Light Assault Rifle vs. Assault Rifle -- ammo used...

[Bandy]

The Light Assault Rifle does 18 base damage, the Light pistol 20, the regular Assault Rifle 28...

Wouldn't it make more sense for the Light Assault Rifle to use Light ammunition???  Like the difference b/t 5.56mm and 7.62mm in 'current' assault rifles. 

Thoughts?  Mods???

Im not 100% sure what youre saying but gameplay is greater than making sense.

Light Assault Rifle uses 'heavy' ammunition, does 18 damage (for my character build)

Light Pistol uses 'light' ammunition, does 20 damage

Assault Rifle uses 'heavy' ammunition, does 28 damage

Since Light Assault Rifle does close to half the damage (compared to Assault Rifle) why hot have it use 'light' ammunition?  It would be a better reason for the poor damage, and if it used 'light' ammunition, then it would actually fill a niche in the player weapons arsenal.
