Aux weapons were originally dreamt up by me as a means to increase the lethality of snub combat (a much-requested change at the time) and to introduce "noob-tubes". Unfortunately the current "implementation" is extremely barebones and unfinished. Several aux. weapons are in the works to replace weapons like the Firestalker and Sidewinder while being new-player-friendly.
Please try not to draw conclusions based on the status quo. The changes were really not meant to be put on the server in this state.
