Spitfire LMG's design is a surprise. Looks like it will start with very bad recoil, but get tighter over sustained fire. The conventional method of using controlled burst to manage recoil turns out to be a very bad idea for this weapon. No wonder during beta I can't figure out how to effectively use the "AMPED" version at all.

It didn't really sit well with me either when I used the burn card in beta, most of the time you are in a firefight you need accuracy on demand; having to wait a few rounds to have usable recoil and clear target tracking through your sights generally spells death more often than not. The damage is good close range (3 BTK) but ADS time is listed at .7 seconds (which is of course egregiously slow)...over all I don't see this weapon getting much use. Something closer to the HAMR in Black Ops 2 would have been more practical I think.

The recoil plus the iron sights was a bit much on the burn card edition. I'm sure it will be a lot more usable with a holosight. But probably its main advantage is for Titan rodeos.

Kraber and Charge Rifle still remain to be shown.

PURELY SPECULATION, but these could be "burn card only" weapons?

I hope they are regular weapon options, because I feel like a little bit more variety could be used for the weapon options, but it is a possibility in theory.

It's entirely possible that the list in OP is not the full list. The "EMP" like grenade available in Beta ("Arc Grenade"?) is not shown, so there could be others that they decided to not reveal yet.

Replace Anti-Titan Weapon with a faster charging Charge Rifle.

"Faster charging" implies that there will be a regular version.

Replace Primary Weapon with a Kraber-AP Sniper that fires explosive rounds.

I'm expecting a Kraber without HE rounds, but i could totally do without enemies using it at all.

[Pegasus Actual]

Really? Scared of the Kraber? The burn card version at least wasn't even hitscan. No hitscan plus high mobility plus low recoil instadeath assault rifle = not worried about Kraber.

i am curious how much damage the kraber rifle does against Titans. the fact that it has AP in the title, and its looks/mechanics makes it seem like it will have an increased damage output vs Titans.

Also if i remember correctly, when scoped you get the red highlighted areas showing up on enemy Titans (similar to when you are piloting a titan), which also makes me think it has increased effectiveness.

The default sniper rifle hits a Titan for 100 damage (600 if you're shooting its hatch on a rodeo).
The Amped version does an extra 150 damage from its explosion.

The Hemlock looks like it was inspired off a Dahl Assault Rifle from Borderlands 2. It wouldn't be completely unreasonable to say that this is a nod to Borderlands 2 since the Hemlock just so happens to be a burst-fire weapon. If both these weapons are based off of a real-life weapon I haven't heard of it.

Titanfall wikia on the Hemlock:

It appears to be a massive visual homage to James Cameron. Its magazine looks similar to that of the M41A1 Pulse Rifle-it's even the same color and shape, and its receiver may be inspired by one of the plasma rifles from the future sequences in Terminator. Its heat shield, though, is similar to that of the modified M60 from Avatar, though more boxy.
