This is a problem. At the very least, they need to have the same range. |

At the range I am talking about, ARs are still hitting with lethal damage where a laser rifle has at most 10% efficiency.
That is 2 damage. |

I dont want to argue numbers or anything with AR guys, I simply feel it is wrong that an AR should ever out DPS a laser rifle past a laser rifle's optimal range. |

The LR only does 10% max past about 70 meters, not sure the actual distance, but ARs past that distance the AR hopelessly beats the LR.
It is a simple matter of the AR having more DPS at longer ranges than the LR, which is supposed to be stronger than AR at range. |

alright, im back. nice to see a couple trolls who know nothing.
I have no problems with the LR's damage output in its optimal and certainly dont have a problem with the proto having the same damage as the standard. While the numbers are the same, due to the nature of how the weapon kicks into gear once the gun heats up, the proto weapon is able to compound the damage to a much higher scale than the standard and even advanced variant.
As i said, i do not want to argue numbers, I am simply of the opinion that a standard variant AR should NEVER out DPS a LR at and beyond the LR's optimal, assuming the LR user isnt an idiot and he is not firing with a cooled LR the entire time.
That is all. Optimal ranges on the LR need some adjusting. |
