For SMGs, the ASM1, the KF5, and the SN6 are all good. SAC3 and AMR9 need some love, and the Mp11 is in the middle; it doesn't really need to be changed.

For the BAL, it drops people so easily that it isn't funny. BAL destroys at any range, and as well, the OP Foregrip makes recoil not a problem.

The Shotguns do need some love, but the tac-19 does okay for being underpowered. S-12 and Bulldog are just below average.

Atlas-45 is a marshmallow shooter that doesn't do well.

XMG has horrible accuracy even in Lockdown.

EM1 needs a damage boost.

At least that's my take on all of those; it might not be your take on it per se, but that's what I'm thinking.
