They're a new player. I could give them the BAR to start off with and most of them would still probably not go too well. Not like the starter pistol is amazing even with 8 damage anyway.

And new players probably don't want to have to dig or even know how to do jobs at the beginning to earn new guns, so they need something they can at least get a somewhat enjoyable time to play with until they figure out how the game works
