>Area Denial frames are when people put shotgun intrinsic on a wave frame
>Burst HC frames are when people put shotgun intrinsic on a handcannon
>Rocket pistols and rocket pulses are when people put rocket launcher intrinsic on sidearms and pulses
>Lodestar is when people put pulse intrinsic on a trace rifle
>Third Iteration is literally the second coming of Shotgun Ammit
