The information claims the meltagun is the more common use of melta weapons, yet it is as rare as the inferno pistol, and rarer than plasma weapons. I suggest the availability be dropped from Extremely rare to Very Rare or even Rare (Pretty sure a guardsman will see more meltaguns than hot-shot lasguns in his career.)

I second this.

Meltas are common for special weapon squads. Hot-shots? Those are for Grenadiers/Stormtroopers mostly.

Yeah b ut they're like +20 points in the tabletop or something, and you could better spend those points on a lascannon
