Instead of outright removing Gauss barrel id like to see customised barrels for each gun. The idea of having a floating magnetic field to accelerate bullets is novel, and i think it'd be a shame to dismiss it cause it looks weird.I'd like to see more...but I think we need to see Gauss Barrel removed first. It just doesn't look good with most, if not all firearms regardless of their size. Same with the ammo case clipping with gear. Being able to hide both but keep the gun out would be wonderful. I'm also aware that you can hide the gauss barrel at the moment but that, sadly, only applies to one's own perspective rather than everybody else's too.
Personally I'd rather just see it gone, while custom barrels for each gun would be nice (I could see the makai pistol with a silencer for example), that would be a lot of work both to retrofit and to add to every future gun. On most guns the thing we have just looks wrong and I'm sure most people opt to turn it off with /gaussbarrel anyway. My friend the other day said to me "why does every gun you use look so stupid?" I didn't understand what they meant, then I remembered, /gaussbarrel doesn't turn it off for others so she could still see it.
I'd prefer to just have a casting animation like BRD's minuet. And for us to just get an aiming animation like they have rather than stupid gun dance. Just change the name from gauss barrel to scope or something.

Every single BRD bow get a unique Quiver. I dont see why MCH's cant get the same treatment for their accesories. Same for the lunchbox, i'd like more varied versions of that please.
My understand is that it is to do with coding. The quivers of the bows are technically part of the weapon's model from legacy code while the Astrologian and Machinist accessories are possibly tied to the jobs' soulstones. The Gauss Barrel is actually a status effect which makes things trickier.
I believe the original plan was that each firearm would have a unique GB but coding restrictions made things more difficult than the dev team wanted them to be.
