this is in fact wrong. From the rifles invention to now it has never been the source of more death in any conflit than every other weapon combined. the conquistadores used black plague as a WMD.
in WW1 Gattling guns/machine guns killed more people than ARs (still rilfes, but reloadied chamber themselves.
in WW2 Bombs killed more people than ARs, HMGs killed more people than ARs. and LMGs came into heavy use, killing more people than ARs.
ever since, every other conflit and war world wide the AR has never been the most potent weapon on the battle filed. It is the most standard weapon, but in fact LMGs have consistently since their inseption been more potent than ARs.
Many LMGs are just ARs with extended clips and heavier barrels. (if this were applied to DUST my HMG would be doing 34 damage per shot at 2000 RPM. but, balance dictats that it can't be that powerful..lol).
Many simple, early snipers are ARs with longer barrels, and a sight (if applied to dust, a sniper would have 34 damage per shot...lol)
ARs in RL over heat (yes sustained fire will damage your barrel and warp/distort your barrel thus ruining accurcy, the melting could cause a backfire. so if applied to dust, i can only imagine what super heated plasma will do to your barrel.) so they are fired in bursts.
ARs in RL jam when put in water, sand, mudd, etc.
ARs in RL normally have 30 round magazines.
ARs in RL are horrible for CQB due to their bulky designed and that they can easily snag on items indoors (except the recent M4 carbine with a shorter barrel and the same accurcy as an M16.)

90% of gamers prefer assault rifle gameplay. Nerfing it because 90% of gamers prefer vanilla play isn't a justification, it's being an idiot.
a good portion of players PREFERED to run flaylocks.
Well, about roughly 35% of players ran flaylocks as side arms, 20% had it proto. and less than 1% ran two flaylocks. People complained and it was nerfed. so, by your own definition. your an idiot.
Quote:
if 90% of players use ARs, then it stands to reason that 90% of the kills will come from assault rifles.
That doesn't means it s not OP. 90% of players ran TAcs when it was OP. and 90% of kills came from them. and TAC was op.
I quote from the book of Proverbs 14:24 "...the foolishness of the stupid ones is foolishness."
So i suggest you do this proverbs 17:28 "even anyone foolish, when keeping silent, will be regarded as wise; anyone closing up his lips as having understanding"
