Rifle should shoot real bullets!

[Michanicks]

It's just a blowpipe reskin! Game is already too similiar to AC4, there is no need in making complex weapon when simplier weapon would be more unique and interesting!
You already have rifles in the game, just make one a permanent!
Make the Shay closer to the Templars by sacrifising his stealthness for a power!

EVEN IN TRAILER RIFLE IS LOUD AND LETHAL!

first of all its not a blowpipe reskin because it also shoots bombs, also it cant shoot bullets because shay already has 2 pistols. unless you actually just wanted another blowgun this is the best option. the standard dart types are needed to keep a content volume standard and it would be even worse to give shay a blowgun because it doesnt make sense, technically is it a blowgun reskin? id argue no but lets say it is, what would you want instead of just a third bigger gun or a blowpipe? and how are we gonna shoot darts then? why dont you be original yourself?

It's a blowpipe reskin because mechanically bombs is another weapon, not the same.
He could have rifle INSTEAD of pistols, or for bigger range in cost not being able to quickfire like with pistols.

Something more unique yet realistic - no character in AC series had a personal rifle yet, and grenade launcher with unrealistic design and in colonial america is hurt the immersiveness.

Who forces you? Somebody put a gun to your head and forces to use darts? There is a lot of assassins characters before and after that exact game who was working just fine without any kind of darts.

Why don't you instead ask the Shay about it? He uses:
1) Pair blade weapons (like Edward) and 95% of animations are straight copy of Edward animations;
2) Multuple pistols like both Edward and Connor have;
3) Double hidden blades (a lot of assassins had them) with 100% the same animations as Edward have;
4) Ropedart is a unique weapon, but he is a third character in the row who uses them, and with the same animations as Edward and Connor have;
5) His fistfight animations are 100% the same as Edward's.
6) His ship is virtually the same as the one Edward had, it looks different, has a slighty different weapons, but plays the same way. I don't complain, but i need that in arguing about being original.

And the only new thing (grenade launcher) is both redundant (does the same thing as blowdart AND blowgun do, just in area) and unrealistic in its desigh - devs couls use a WW2 rifle grenade laucher system instead of underbarrel launcher nonsence for a blowgun (which doesn't even have real ammo to propel the grenade). Also Ezio had different bombs too, but he just throwed them with his hands instead of using gun.
