Fuck powering the weapons down, just add more enemies to make up for it.

Actually, I would power down the Chicago Typwewriter, 10.0 damage per shot is kind of insanely high, lower that to at least 5.0 or 5.5, and then make it so instead of having fully infinite ammo, it needs to reload every 30rds (maybe make it so you can upgrade the capacity up to 50, to match the drum on Ada's version), you don't need to find ammo or anything, you'd have infinite reloads, but it can't fire indefinitely.
It'd still be a highly powerful weapon, letting you just walk over Regeneradors, and pretty imbalanced still, but it wouldn't make the game so easy that it's a joke.

Once the M3 entered service in like 1944, at least, because they were stuck with the Thompson until then, which they had been looking at replacing since they first adopted it, because Jesus Christ it was so expensive, and took too long to make, they managed to seriously reduce cost (I think by as much as half) and production time with the M1A1 model, but that still wasn't enough.
They never really had as many as they needed, and it didn't help that others wanted a piece of the Thompson either, Britain had kind of neglected subguns overall and after Dunkirk, they were desperately scrambling for a solution, buying Thompsons with gold bullion until the US said "God, stop, we need those, we saw them first!"

The British solution was the Sten, which though not useless, leaves a lot to be desired. Better than nothing.
The American solution was the 'Greasegun', which has a lot of things common with the Sten, but is made better in every way, never really suffering the same magazine problems. It's kind of genius in how incredibly low cost and fast to make the M3 is, particularly with the M3A1 version, and the quality is still consistently good. The low rate of fire actually made it really easy to train new soldiers with as well.
