- No matter how you look at it, there's something unfair about this.

Also, to address one of the more contentious points:

Gun differences - For one, there's only so much you can improve any technology without completely replacing it. Improvements to the guns, bullets, and propellants themselves will likely plateau in a decade or so, if it hasn't already. Even without Geo's EU sourcing, it's logical that even in the far future, gunpowder-based weaponry will be similar if not identical to current models. As an example, the Colt 1911 has been around for over a century, with the only differences being cosmetic or QoL changes.
