At Fanfest they said the base variant of the Caldari rail rifle will be breach (slow firing, high damage, fully automatic), but it will have very great range. No specifics on stats revealed, bu here is a pic: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AqlZS3JmXPo/UYAMWjM5_PI/AAAAAAAAAW4/MgWKmxHs5Sk/s640/rail_rifle.png

Magsec SMG we have no info on, except that's its obviously a Caldari railgun SMG. Here is a pic: http://cghub.com/images/view/586563/


EDIT: did you change the title? I could have sworn it said Caldari rifle and not Combat rifle (which is Minmatar).
The Minmatar combat rifle's base variant will be burst, and it look like this: http://s.cghub.com/files/Image/586001-587000/586571/254_max.jpg

I want ALL the info on the combat rifle. ALL OF IT.

Lol no... Combat Rifle looks like a Mass Driver on steroids!!! And the Rail Rifle should replace the stupid breach AR. Are they gonna remove the other AR varients (hopefully not burst and TAR) and have these replace them?

Magsec is probably the assault SMG variant....

I heard somewhere here (sorry no source) that all the "Assault Rifle" type weapons (Galente Plasma Rifle, Caldari rail rifle, Minmitar Combat rifle, and Amarr Scrambler rifle) will have a specialty fire type, but will also have a few (perhaps all) other fire types. From what we have now it looks like:

Gallente: Plasma Rifle- Full-auto; also has semi, breach, and burst

Amarr: Scrambler Rifle- Semi-auto (SCR); also has full-auto (ASCR)


Again, from the info. CCP has put out so far (again, no source), the rail rifle will be like the breach (slow rof, high damage, perhaps longer range) and the combat rifle will be burst (bit better range that full-auto, slightly more damage(?)), though with the precedents of the AR and SCR, I'd expect some variation with the new weapons.

I remember a dev saying that all AR's will have all appropriate variants. What we have now is the Gallente Plasma Rifle, which fills the 'Assault' role. Here's the different race variances and role for each weapon:

Caldari - Rail Rifle [Breach]

Gallente - Plasma Rifle [Assault]

Minmatar - Combat Rifle [Burst]

Amarr - Scrambler Rifle [Tactical]

And apparently every racial weapon will have their own variants, but suck compared to the equivalent racial weapon [Plasma Burst < Combat Standard, Scrambler Standard > Rail Tactical].

So no, there will be AR variants for all AR's.

its an SMG with a barrel, and a scope.


there you go.

Eh... looks like I'm speccing into all of them...

It is likely though that the assault suits will get bonuses in some way to using the racial weapon that is the same as the suit. Like right now the gallente get a hybrid fitting bonus, which indirectly lets their suit fit more, while the amarr assault gets an overheating bonus which lets its weapon heat up really hot to kill really fast.
