Hemlock selectfire receiver
I personally think selectfire receiver makes much more sense as a hop up for the hemlock rather than the havoc. It would work the same as it currently does on the prowler, and I think it would be a g...
Full auto on the hemlock would be pretty OP, as is already demonstrated by those few who use macros to turn its single fire mode into full auto.
Perhaps it could be balanced with greater recoil, or reduced muzzle velocity...
However I'd rather hop-ups were used to create greater distinction between weapons, not turn weapon into "slightly different r301/r99".
Maybe the Hemlok could have a hop-up that gave it an under-slung single shot grenade launcher (like the M203).
Allowing a single grenade to be fired without having to switch away from your primary would be an interesting (and potentially very powerful) tactical option.
Requiring you to take a sub-optimal primary weapon to be able to access said option would be an interesting compromise.
Though even without balance testing, I'm pretty confident you'd have to limit it to frag grenades only; an arc star or thermite from an under-slung launcher would be too abusable.
