Buff all Shotguns, Pistols, EM-1, MK14, EPM3, XMGs (these only really need a hipfire buff), and the KF5 (it's really not all that good). The BAL-27 is not overpowered. Far from it. Low range and long range damage makes it a pretty shit choice for long range combat but it does destroy in close quarters.
