I really hate the UAC/5 now because it jams so much. I suggest the following changes to reduce the UAC/5 jam chance by half.
Current UAC/5 profile
Damage: 5
Cooldown: 1.5 (fires two shots every 1.5 seconds, seperated by 0.75 seconds)
Jam: 20%
Jam Duration: 5 seconds
DPS = ~3.6 dps
Suggested UAC/5 profile
Damage: 5
Cooldown: 0.85 (fires a single shot every 0.85 seconds, no more double shot)
Jam: 10%
Jam Duration: 5 seconds
DPS = ~3.6 dps

Interesting...a little give and take.
Question though...is the jam rate officially 20%?

Almost seems a bit overpowered. I like the idea of a smoothing out the pace of the shots instead of BoomBoom......BoomBoom...
10% seems like too low. Going from 1 in 5 chance to 1 in 10. I like that it makes it more consistent, dependable damage but you might have to increase the jam duration so it's really an Oh **** moment instead of how now you just kinda expect it to jam all the time.

The UAC/5 should be more consistent. Inconsistent weapons are terrible and I would never use them.
It's possible to reprofile it around a 15% jam rate though. Anything is better than 20%.

I think the current uac5 actually has more dps than that. Depending on whether the gun actually stops reloading while jammed (not sure, rarely use them myself), average dps should be somewhere between 4 and 4.5.
