I believe the reason the Frommer Stop Auto is Available in Back to Basics is because in Back to Basics all weapons are banned except for standard issue rifles and pistols. I believe the game classifies the Frommer Stop Auto as a pistol. I don’t think the game can filter out all the pilot/ tanker weapons because most of them are just modified pistols and that’s what the game classifies them as. I can support this theory of mine with the sawed off shotgun. The sawed off shotgun is banned in Back to Basics because the game classifies it as a shotgun which is banned. I am still unsure about how the other non-pistol pilot/ tanker weapons are getting through. Maybe the game classifies them as pistols too? I’m not sure
Actually, Frommer Stop Auto is treated as a member of a separate weapon group - pistol carbine. All the Pilot/Tanker weapons except sawed-off are considered pistol carbines - be it Frommer Stop Auto or Support-available options like C96 Carbine, P08 Artillerie, M1911 Extended etc. Pistol carbines were not on banned weapon list, because before recent update they only were available for Pilot and Tanker - two classes you can't spawn as in Back to Basics. As a reason, there simply was no reason to ban them, as no-one would be able to access them anyway... until recent patch. It's basically an oversight (and it certainly is not intentional).
