Thats a patriot mag my friend they have been around for years, they have the highest jam and misfire ration of any magazine!
1/5 rounds is misfired because of the mag, plus there is an almost guaranteed chance you'll get 1 jam a mag!

Because guns don't kill people. People kill People.

In the US 1000 people die to accidental gun related deaths per year. Guns kill people too...

Reducing the Clipsize of the GAR is a tricky one as you would need to reduce the Clipsize of all automatic weapons as well. Just because you don't like a weapon does not mean it is totally unbalanced.

The AR needs the correct DPS Range profile: High DPS (highest Dps of all AR) and low Range (lowest Range of all ARs) thats it.

If you simply reduce the Clipsize of the AR the AsCR would become king: similar DPS, similar Range and similar Dispersion without barrel climb (all in all a stupid concept to make both weapons that similar).

And if you are afraid of DPS or Damage per clip have a look at the other Automatic weapons:

Scrambler Rifle (std):
DPS: 840+
Damage per Clip: 3240
Clipsize: 45

AsCR (adv):
DPS: 444
Damage per Clip: 2721
Clipsize: 72

TAR (adv)
DPS: 500
Damage per Clip: 1350
Clipszie: 18

Assault Rifle Std:
DPS: 425
Damage per Clip: 2040
Clipsize: 60

HMG (std)
DPS: 533
Damage per Clip: 6800
Clipsize:450

SMG (std)
DPS: 350
Damage per Clip:1680
Clipsize: 80

So in general the GAR is in a good place IMHO.

Regarding Recoil and Dispersion have a look here the vids show that the GAR isn't that much more accurate than the AsCR unless it comes to skill.

People tend to forget how much the GAR benefits from skills in terms of accuracy and of course people have learned to handle the recoil/dispersion the AR has so it becomes a non factor but thats not the fault of the weapon....

On a sidenote I wouldn't mind a bit more Recoil and Dispersion but honestly i think that would change things only for one or two weeks until people have adapted (that was what happened the last time they increased Recoil and Dispersion on that weapon).

Either a gun sitting across the room went off all by itself from across the room......or You don't understand the analogy.

Stupid or Lying ..Which one is it?

This isn't a bad idea, but I think CCP should wait for the next wave of rifles, and the changes to AR that result from that before making too many changes now--only to change them again in another 5-6weeks. This game has too much nerf/buff see-sawing as it is.

Because You don't leave rounds in a gun, in a friggin gun case!
You put the bullets in an ammo box away from direct heat like the sun, a gun isn't going to go off if there is no round to go off.
If you are leaving loaded guns in your gun case I fear for your safety.

However in terms of a gun an unloaded gun killing someone
The power of the spring in the firing mechanism of an SA80 is enough to punch all the way through the skullmof the guy cleaning it.

But we are getting off topic, what is the actual downside to an ar?
large mag fast reload
very little kick
very little dispersion
large ammo reserve
long range
fully automatic
high rof
high damage
no overheat


Of that list every other weapon can safely say 1 of those at least is wrong, but not the ar, it needs a drawback!

It's still a placeholder and default for all the racial weapons combined. They're going to have to change it at some point anyway.

The only drawback the AR needs is to be average in all situations instead of dominant like it is right now. Jack of all trades, master of none and all that...

Edit: Anyone else having issues with quotes?

Someone missed the top half of a quote ill fix it here, true but the assault rifle which will become the blaster rifle, doesn't have drwbacks, unlike the scrambler rifle, which is actually a laser assault rifle. The minmatar will have an acog scope which makes hard to use in cqc and a low mag size, while the rail rifle will have a low rate of fire.

The weapons go something like this.

Assault - Short Range, Full Auto Gallante
Burst - Short/Mid Range, Burst (obviously ) Minmatar
Charge - Mid/Long Range, semi Auto, charge ability Amarr
Tac - Long Range, Semi Auto Caldari

Each race will attempt to mimic each other in the other ranges, and do relatively well, but each race will shine in its base range! There will be no difinitive jack of all trades.

But instead 16 rifles, who between them profcient everywhere! And because of how the skill tree works it gives you 4 weapons for the price of 1. Alowing you to swap and change dependent on the enemies you face!

Breach variation of ar has a shorter range, the act of breaching by definition is close quaters!!
