The gun shouldn't have anything done. The effort into actually getting this gun is like scaling a mountain. The work reflects the effort. I think the SMG needs a new Iklos perk, as does the sniper to make them a more viable option. Various ideas.
SMG : Breaking a shield now overpowers the gun, refilling the magazine to full, and grants explosive payload to the newly filled clip. (In PVP this perk will only activate on breaking the shield of a guardian in super. Reloading deactivates the perk)
Sniper : Upon aiming down sights for a short duration, the sniper will activate "Iklos Protocol" perk. All shots fired while holding ads will cause a AOE explosion (explosion will be like the Javalin from Escalation Protocol. Perk will activate after 3 seconds of ADS time and deactivate if you leave ADS)
Please give feedback on this idea and anything that triggers you. These perks would replace the Iklos SMG Shield breakign perk, and boxed breathing

Considering how the EP shotgun is good right now, both SMG and Sniper should be buffed so that would be as good as the SG. I like your idea on the sniper because it would be more EP-like weapon due to the effect.
