We have neon or glowy bits on our clothing and armors, but none on our weapons. What gives?

TL;DRA few weapons already have glowing parts, but glow should serve a purpose, since tactical weapons don't usually glow, though futuristic or alien weapons may get more.

I think we have a couple of glowy bits on the Gemini weapons, the blue spinner, and the glowy bits on that SMG that Jake did. Of course, we need to be a little bit careful because it needs to have a certain purpose when it glows. We can't just put glowy stuff on it because it looks cool. It needs to make sense that it's on there. I mean, weapons usually, from a tactical perspective, don't glow that much. Of course, futuristic weapons like the Atzkav, they have glowy bits, and when you reload or if the flaps at the front open, you can see glowy bits inside. We have a lot of stuff like this, not all over the place, but where it makes sense, I would say.

When we move on to alien weapons too, we should have some nice glowy stuff.

I've heard aliens like glowy bits.
