Don't forget to rename all of the sniper rifles too.
Oh and change SMG to "projectile gun"
Think hard, we want this game to be as unfriendly to new players as possible. |

Actually by naming it the "Assault Rifle" it is unfriendly to new players, because they think they are skilling into a weapon class that spans many weapon types but in actuality they are just getting the Gallente rifle and its variants. They have no clue that there are other racial rifles out there. |

Now, with the introduction of the Scrambler Rifle (and soon the Rail Rifle and Combat Rifle), are we still going to call it an "Assault Rifle," or should we switch over to a more accurate description of "Plasma Rifle?" Blaster Rifle. Well, that is technically correct, but the trend in Dust is to refer to blaster damage as "plasma," so Plasma Rifle would technically be more correct in keeping with the Dust nomenclature.
Wea duh, plasma-anything just sounds so much more badass. Edgy as always CCP |

Idk, sniper rifle sounds much sleeker than "infantry mounted micro railgun" |

How about Gauss Rifle instead of Sniper Rifle?
Edit: Precision Rail is good too. |

The combat rifle and smg are some of the only ones that might make sense with names as-is. Afterall, HMGs, SMG, and Combat Rifles are existing real-world weapons. It's the ones that aren't kin to current real-world tech that need to be differentiated more. Heavy Machine Gun is accurate enough. Assault Rifle says nothing.
Sniper Rifle as Sniper Railgun or Precision Railgun might make more sense, after all they are introducing a "Precision Rifle" as well. |

To be honest it is arguable if it would actually be a rifle at all. I doubt the thing has any rifling so it would be more accurate to call it an Assault Blaster. |

Idk, sniper rifle sounds much sleeker than "infantry mounted micro railgun" How about Gauss Rifle instead of Sniper Rifle? Edit: Precision Rail is good too. Gauss Rifle sounds awesome, but I think it'd be somewhat confusing to have it sound like it could be just another rifle (AR, SCR, Rail, Combat). Gauss Sniper Rifle perhaps?
And, really, we'd only need the Ion pistol released to round out the sidearms so all races could get their racial weapon packages in their militia fits. Caldari wouldn't have to use Nova knives, though, since the Magsec SMG is coming, and that's probably more preferable to most players.
Overall, though, it's time for the races to play like the races, and give them meaningful differences.

Because plasma is for hipsters. All the cool kids today are using either fusion, laser, or mass reactors, that's why. |

Same reason we don't call it the Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation rifle. |
