Good news for D2 then (Destiny)

Bungie has said that they've redesigned weapon attributes so that they can tweak individual guns without having to shift an entire archetype.

I take this to mean that in D1, guns were programmed to all be children of a singular model from which they inherited most of their stats, and that in D2 they simply inherit base stats from an archetype but those can be adjusted on an individual basis. Now, I don't know the exact code techniques being used, so that's just a guess to help me picture it better, but the gist of what they said is the same.

So bungie can now Make Felwinter's Lie have a shorter range without making all other shotguns have a shorter range.
