Rail
Part of KaalakiotaGÇÖs Stahl line of weaponry

Im calling it now that people will QQ about the rail rifle since it was be a breach that doesnt suck and have more range than a wet cough

sorry but Killzone 3
had to be said
Interesting

They're not coming tomorrow, CCP couldn't finish them on time, check the patch notes.

Basing on these descriptions, the Rail is NOT a breach rifle and the Combat is NOT a burst rifle.

The Rail rifle sounds like a sweet precision tactical weapon... in other words, my kind of gun.

Yeah, but that combat rifle sounds pretty sweet.

I am just hoping one of them will do more armor damage than shield damage. No weapons actually chew into armor at distance.

Gallente Hybrid Weapons do +10% against shields -10% against armor.
Caldari Hybrid weapons do -10% against shields +10% against armor.

Im hoping more for the combat rifle being winmitar and then the rail being caldari

Nah CCP said this is how they would operate. I thought otherwise too but someone sourced-me. The Rail is long range Breach weaponry. And the Breach are sweet precision tactical weapons. They have the highest accuracy ratings.

The the combat rifle will be the burst. Burst has a slightly longer range than the AR, and has the highest DPS of the weapons,
the combat rifle is a semi-automatic weapon well-suited to both short and medium range combat. Classified as a light support weapon, it is typically employed in target-rich environments where the high volume of fire produced enables operators to engage multiple targets in rapid succession, whilst the weaponGÇÖs extended range keeps the operator just beyond the threat threshold of most standard assault rifles.

So it's semi-auto yet has high volume of fire, sounds like burst. Also if you try the burst, it feels more like a support weapon for its sheer lack of killing power but it can definitely wound in one shot or pick off the weak. But that "suited for short range" is total BS, you do not want a Burst in CQC.

I'm not sure about Projectile (Combat rifle)cause I'm seeing different stats from CCP but in game projectiles are said to do -4% against shields +4% against armor.

Hybrid plasma weapons
Assault Rifle, Shotgun, Plasma Cannon, Ion Pistol, unnamed heavy weapon

Projectile weapons
Sub-machine Gun, Combat Rifle, Precision Rifle, Heavy Machine Gun

This is why the ARs we have now are going to need to be re-balanced. The breach sucks, burst is inconsistent at best, the TAC AR is the only good sub variant while the standard beats all.
