I like Swaghauler's ideas, I'd probably break the various categories down further into their operation type e.g. lever-action, bolt-action, semi-auto and so on for rifles and then a separate category for SMGs because they are typically meant for short bursts of auto-fire.
But yes, I agree with Raellus, I think the Cascade skill idea is one of the better ways to handle it. I also think you could probably play around with it to extend the range out to say US AFVs, German AFVs, Czech AFVs, Soviet AFVs etc. etc. but again that's my desire for a little bit more sophistication in the rules. I know that level of book-keeping is tiresome for some and especially among the modern audience it's not particularly welcome.
