I had an idea for weapons that combined duplicate infusions and overall kills to increase what I called "Weapon Legacy." It is essentially the weapon's level, and as it increases it unlocks new scopes, PvE perks, and unique shaders. Nothing is set in stone here so feel free to make suggestions. I have two slots for random perks (for those who really loved randoms) but I know that Bungie doesn't seem to be leaning in that direction, so take it for what you will. Perhaps when we level up the gun we can earn tokens to re-roll the randoms, encouraging people to stick with the gun.
The weapon level can be increased infinitely and I was thinking that in PvP when it tells you what weapon you were killed with, that player's particular weapon level could be displayed along side its icon. The weapon unlocks complete at level 100, but perhaps every 5 or 10 levels beyond could award some kind of bonus like an engram of various types.
Also, if you were curious about it, I am suggesting that the PvE perks stack with the gun's original perks for super PvE fun times.
Thanks for checking it out!
Edit: A few people asked about the shaders so I'll try to clarify. My idea was that you unlock unique shaders down the road to show off your devotion to the weapon, and you can freely swap between them - overwriting the custom shader if you choose.

Also, sorry for any typos. I slapped it all together pretty quick.
Image updated to fix typo and add "detailed weapon stats" button.
Update: I did something similar with what I'd like to see with subclasses if you're interested. Check it out if that doesn't sound too boring - it may be doomed to burial though. Here is the post: [url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/235997434?page=0&sort=0&showBanned=0&path=1[/url]
