Ill tell you exactly what is off about the other rifles.
1) Combat Rifles Projectile damage profile effectively give all Combat Rifles a 5% damage boost. 1a) Burst Combat Rifles No conceivable delay between bursts allow experienced/modded controllers users to achieve 500DPS (+50) before profile damage. Futhermore also has 20m range more. 1b) Assault Combat Rifles Don't have enough range for the DPS they sacrifice at 400 DPS (-50 ) before profile damge, has 6m extra range.
2) Scrambler Rifles Easy to avoid overheat system gives Scrambler Rifles disproportionately large magazines for their allowing for absolute marathons of combat. 2a) Tactical Scrambler Rifle Charge shot gives incredibly high opening shot that totals most shields in one hit, modded controllers can also achieve 720 DPS for a moderately lomg amount of time. 2b) Assault Scrambler Rifle Has disproportionately high DPS for range (out DPS's combat rifle) and decent range +20m.
3) Rail Rifles Have incredibly tight hipfire spread for a long range weapon making them too effective in close quarters. 3a) Breach Rail Rifle Doesn't have enough recoil, while kick is just unfairly distracting (there is a difference between the 2) 3b) Assault Rail Rifle Has the same range as the Breach, a huge advantage over anyother assault variant rifle.
It can be fixed, but CCP have said they are currently appeased with the rifles and there are more important thimgs to be doing first. Ideally the rifles need to have range and damage homogenised so that damage and range become less inportant factors when choosing your weapon.
I made a post on it if you can be bothered to search. While rifles are currently and I quote "more balanced than ever" until these kind of charecterisitcs are homogenised at least one of the weapons will always feel out of place.

Lot of people say it's easy to use and it has no overheat, etc etc... Well, it's the same with the ACR, only that the latter does a lot more damage and kills a lot faster.
It's pretty much like it doesn't have a place or situation where it's the best choice.
The ACR has less damge even with the profile boosting it up, for a measly 6m extra range.

Which until you put them next to the ranges mean nothing. The Plasma Rifles suffer unfair ranges for menial da age increases.

Thank you! Doing it that ways solves a lot of problems including Jathniels problem with the damage profile. Since the relation between damage and range is linear the damage profile will no lomger effect that balance in the same way.
Futhermore it already included scope for the 6 or so remaining weapons.
Burst Scrambler Rifle Burst Rail Rifle Tactical Combat Rifle Tactical Rail Rifle Breach Scrambler Rifle Breach Scrambler Rifle
Which I'm sure everyone would love to see. Finally it allows the characteristics of each weapon to be emphasised more clearly without effecting balance.
