New Item Category - Replication Weapon's + Ammo

So one of the issues dev's are worried about are there being too many guns & ammo types in game that would result in a bloated loot pool.

This is a valid concern, so what about adding in tech that fixes that problem? Ammo that can be used by multiple guns albeit with caveats,

such as a smaller stack size and limited direction on what types the ammo can be used in. Such as an ammo that can be used in light + heavy or energy + heavy.

Similarly, replication weapons could be modified between 2 weapons within the same ammo pool. The change effect wouldn't be instantaneous, taking time like 

a crafter and being unable to use the weapon until its finished. Imagine being able to swap between a Havoc & Devotion because it uses replication tech. This could 

even be worked into the support roll as having the ammo spawn more frequently / all the time in an extended supply bin.

Maybe even add green bins with guaranteed caches that contain replication tech it in comparison to blue extended bins. 

We have been several seasons without new weapons because of this fear of bloating the loot pool, but guns & legends are one of the big things that makes apex fun.

I'd sooner see more creative solutions like this than just "no new guns" for 3, possibly going on 4, seasons straight.
