This is what I did to revert the AR50.
1. Added the lines spaditagamer posted to preload.tbl but instead of dropping it in 1-MODDERS_-_PUT_YOUR_OWN_PERSONAL_MODS_HERE I modified the original preload.tbl in the optional_mod_stuff folder and left it there. I attached my current preload.tbl if you need reference.

2. Edited weapons.xtbl like this (overwriting the AR50 Fireworks section) and dropped it in 1-MODDERS_-_PUT_YOUR_OWN_PERSONAL_MODS_HERE.

I gave it the SKR9 audio setting because its burst is loud af (it was the same as the Bear/Grizzly's turret, which now uses the AR200 audio). I can't seem to fathom if I altered the other weapons.xtbl inside \optional_mod_stuff\modified the same way but for good measure you might do that as well. (Keep backups of everything should you mess up.)
3. Added spaditagamer's items_3d.xtbl and items_inventory.xtbl to 1-MODDERS_-_PUT_YOUR_OWN_PERSONAL_MODS_HERE.
4. Built the patch as usual. The only side effect is that now Civilian Skaters' skateboards are invisible, they just hover above the pavement—ah, well. Also, the other Saints will get the normal AR50 when using the Super Saints cheat (including all other temporary homies like Richie/Luz in Drug Trafficking) so they no longer blow themselves up accidentally with fireworks.

That did the trick for me, hope it'll be useful to you as well.
EDIT. Nope, I'm too stupid to figure out how to attach files (preload.tbl), if you need it PM me.
