completely worthless module that requires grind to unlock and more grind to reload....and doesn't work as well as either the regular or the AX MC.
Do you really have to unlock them? Never looked at them as they just don't make sense for normal or bug combat.
I didn't have to. But then again I first noticed Zende when exploring Synuefe and allied with them early on, since they were Guardian researchers.
Interesting, have never noticed them before. Thanks for the info guys, even if they are disappointing 
Honestly they're not for hybrid builds, they're to fill your non-experimental slots for some added DPS.
Why even have the option for regular ammo if that's the design expectation, then?
Looks like the reviews on them suggest that's precisely what they are for, but they would serve better for your suggestion. Strictly Xeno oriented builds...were it not for the fact that now it's a completely different synthesis. So now you have to refill you AX, then your "Configurable small caliber (Advanced Multis)" and your Guardian weapons separate. They should just be able to accept the same AX synth and Small caliber synth.

They were an interstellar initiative result. Didn't find much use for them and didn't know you had to grind for them.
They are fiddly to load with the ammo you want. AX ammo isn't the default so you have to synth it, but if you dock and rearm, it all poofs.

Yep. They have a separate ammo synth called "Configurable small projectile caliber" or something to that effect and inside that you have two options, basic and standard. Basic is equivalent to the default multicannon ammo and standard uses both regular raw materials and Guardian. They didn't need to add a whole new menu entry. Just make them available to AX and regular Small caliber ammo. If they want to block you from premium that's fine (though I'll never understand why), but they could just gray out the standard and premium options.
