Can you make Ratkin assault rifle? since Ratkin already have bolt-action rifle and have machine crossbow assault rifle should be next step for Ratkin.

Suggestion of a cutlass or some sort of sabre

The rax flamethrower seems much too powerful. I saw two ratkin use it on two of my pawns and both were beheadd instantly. I've never seen a weapon so deadly in all these years of Rimworld. It makes mortar shells look like toys.
