Can we have an AK-47 platform, please?

And before someone says "NO REAL WORLD GUNS!" Well, that cat's kind of out of the bag. And I'm not just talking about ubiquitous pistols based on Lugers and Mausers. Have you ever looked at the Retired Gladiator Blaster Rifle? It is literally - LITERALLY - a Lewis Gun with the pan magazine removed. In fact, the SWTOR version is a such a faithful, on-the-nose reproduction that it even features the side-to-side swinging loading mechanism for the missing mag - it's a carbon copy of the real gun.

I wouldn't want something quite like that for a Kalashnikov-based weapon (it's too well known)... but it would be cool to see some kind of a nod to this famed ordinance. Perhaps they could do something based on an associated but less-famous weapon, like the Bizon?

This was in Andor. Is this kind of what you mean? I would be down with new and interesting weapon designs.

The game could definitely use more options for blaster rifle designs, that's for sure.  That Andor one would totally be cool, or something similar.

I think I'd want it with a stock. But I also think that's just a little too clone-ish for me (as in, it just looks like an AK that someone has decided to call a blaster). Ideally, I'd prefer something that you can see the AK in, but not so overtly that it just looks like a real-world rifle.

*Edit* Something like this would be ideal: https://i.imgur.com/pEgyLsd.png
