Wrong. Shorter range.
Just going off of what I've seen in the office.

Paper weapons are always cheap.
Except WCMD-ER's are being dropped and integrated at Eglin right now.
Probably only on paper though. It did get zeroed on my platform to pay

Especially when it's cut back to zero bucks.
A strap on kit is more cost effective than a brand new weapon,
especially when its a modification of a currently low cost guidance that
