Ngl i still prefer the original designs over whatever mica did with 2

This meme just doesn't work with Exilium designs. They dropped the "gun gijinka" thing since Neural Cloud (or even since GFL1, if to be precise).
Also, community's hard asses that joke about "fuck your guns" will argue with foam in their mouths that "They're more, than just guns! They have names now!".

Ah the meme lord updated the girls clothes I see.

They never dropped anything because that was never a thing to begin with. From the beginning it was just gynoids named after the guns they're using, never did they include elements of the actual guns in the designs.
And of course it wasn't a thing in PNC either because almost all of the characters were civilian Dolls. Why would those of all things need to be modelled after guns?
The artists would at times use elements such as the uniforms worn by the historical users of those guns as design inspiration, but that's it.
The closest to an argument you have is that they stopped trying to appeal to gun nuts early on, because those ended up not being the core player base.

It turned quite a few people in their core player base who weren't into guns before into enthusiasts, however.
