The "negative nancy" answer (Destiny)

All that said, I think there is plenty of potential in there somewhere... the Gunsmith could certainly be worked into the game in interesting ways in the future. For example, what if the prototype weapons functioned like true prototypes: Awesome and creative new features, but they don't always work quite right. A rocket launcher with a DEVASTATING payload, but once in a while a projectile will fail to detonate. A new machine gun that has a super-fast reload, except that it jams every now and then.

I'm all for the Gunsmith prototypes being creative and with major drawbacks that allow them to be fun and maybe even a bit OP at times, but misfiring rockets and jamming weapons sounds absolutely terrible and unfun. If it happened too often, it'd be really annoying and not fun. If it didn't happen often enough, there wouldn't be a point to it happening at all. And let's not forget that most people would just be confused that their gun isn't working.

The Gunsmith should be revamped for sure, with crazy weapons. But misfiring, jamming weapons shouldn't even be on the table in my opinion.
