Kinetics are not necessarily Syndicate. A lot of the traders that cargo deals with are probably not NT-aligned. It's not too far-fetched that somebody has a bunch of old Soviet firearms that they need to offload for cash.
As for the idea itself, I'm not sure. On one hand, cargo being able to get cool toys is good because I think they should be rewarded for doing their job. On the other hand, balance and the availability of guns is a concern. As others have said, better guns are relatively easy to get your hands on if you know where to look, including phasers, which while there are a few more hoops to jump through can also be ordered through cargo.
I would feel better about this idea if they were added as one of a larger pool of rare-ish items cargo can order, on top of being pricey and limited in quantity.
