Are you suggesting new powersets based on weapons or just alternate models?
Very important distinction!
New powersets: I'm against adding Laser Pistols as a Blaster/Corruptor powerset now that we're getting Dual Pistols in a few months. However I wouldn't be averse to seeing a Super Booster with some alternate animations for players to use a Gun with their blasty sets which fires the various powers of their blast sets. For example: Mr. Freeze's Frost Pistol. And I would not be averse to a Laser Rifle set based off the Bots MM powerset's three tiers of laser rifle abilities.
Crossbows, however, seem too much effort for too little gain, ultimately.
At this point, however, I'd rather see some new -powers- as opposed to new weapons and Natural powersets (MA and SS just got new "Heroic" animations, Dual blades and Dual pistols, New Swords for all sets with the Ninja booster, Willpower SR and Invuln having Low or NoFX settings, etc) I think the "Natural" hero has gotten plenty of attention for now. I'd rather see more magic and mutant style powerset (Inherent powers and magical abilities instead of more weapon sets and low-FX sets)

I agree with Ms. Punkette, that we need more 'mutant/magic/tech' powersets in the future, and less weapon powersets. WE've got a lot of those right now, and I'd rather have some flash than slice. Give us some more power sets like Energy Blast and Earth Armor, something with a little more gusto, if you know what I mean.

They need to add some unlockable pistols at least since there are none right now. We should have talsorian, rularuu and crey pistols. Maybe nemesis and rikti too.
I have to agree you all and new costume pieces all the time it's time to add some weapons like a laser gun or a crossbow for blasters.
