This is exactly what I was thinking when I read it. Keep the stats the way
they are, just change the name of the weapon. Something simple like the
"HellBurner" or the "HellCannon". Acid just seems to fit better as a
Tyranid weapon, not a Squat weapon. Sorry if I sounded like I meant you
should replace the weapon with a Melta Cannon. I actually meant keep the
stats, change the name.
