Ok so why are all the Breach variants short ranged when they mimic the caldari long range?[/quote]
My guess is that CCP is looking to get some data on lower ROF with higher damage per shot in CQC, but that only makes a little bit of sense.
I suppose what it comes down to is "cuz CCP". Sometime there aren't any good answers. |

This is not true. The breach AR mimics the Caldari breach style, but not as well. Using this source and the one I already gave you, http://dust514.com/news/blog/2013/07/weapon-ranges-in-uprising-1.2-and-beyond/The Caldari Rail Rifle and Caldari Bolt Pistol will be breach in the sense of low RoF high damage, but will also have the longest range in their respective weapon categories.
That is scary to say the least because I have been using the Breach AR and Breach Pistol in CQC very effectively. If the same idea applies to a weapon with more range, that thing will be scary to go against, because as I have found already, Breach weapons are for the most part beasts and in their respective range.
They would need to make it operate best at long range and worst at short range so we wouldn't end up with a clusterfuck on our hands. |

The flaylock pistol already has the bonus of splash damage. The ion pistol will have a charge up feature. I am not sure what the special thing about the bolt pistol is. So the Scrambler Pistol rewards accuracy (Amarr) The Flaylock rewards inaccuracy (Minmatar) The Ion will charge up, rewards patience (Gallente) By the train of thought, the Caldari Bolt Pistol reward impatience, so maybe it has the fastest RoF? Actually one of the Devs said at Fanfest that bolt pistol was going to be like a strong shot Desert Eagle. I'd expect single, high damage rounds with low RoF and great range, being a rail weapon. I'm VERY much looking forward to this, as well as the Ion pistol with its shotgun-like charge.

I'm going to have a pile of SP saved up for the rail rifle. I'm all but sure it's going to be the source of massive amounts of QQ.
A scanner combined with a RR is going to be a heck of a combo. |

That is exactly what I'm doing too. Can't wait for my head shot long range QQ factory. |
