Common Pool Weapons..... Why?

[MilitantB0B]

Bassically I was just wondering if you guys think there will be any point to the common pool weapons. Are the empire specidic weapons better than the common pool weapons? Would there ever be time when you would choose an AMP over a Beamer/Reapeter/MAG-scatter? or a Punisher over a Pulsar/Cycler/Guass? To me, the only thing I can find in the common pool arsenal that I would use is the weapons that aren't empire specific (Thumper, Bolt Driver, rocklet ect.) Thanks for your input.
