it would also be fine is most rifles have similar stats and only different in their weights this might be also applied to other weapons such as MGs, laser/dual laser rifles, shotguns, hand GLs etc......., but i dont know how will you make niche weapons such as echidnas, yasha, chimera, lupus (WArms) and other unique weapon viable.
No they don't. Remember what I said about hit boxes? Well, weapons with large hit detection usually also have high damage (GL, laser cannon), so they hit different part zones easily.
As far as the second statement/question goes, most rifles are similar in most cases except for weight and ranged performance (AST does better up close - well, they're supposed to - but their rof doesn't help them at rifle ranges since they have more spray).
As for niche weapons, I can improve ECHIDNA tracking. I can drop CHIMERA's weight, drain, and boost its velocity. I can do something really strange with LUPUS: I can make it fire homing laser beams like the final Pulverizer. What if I created a single back version or an inside part version of the YASYA? And what if YASYA type orbits tracked their shots?
I can do all of these things...
