Nice stuff there.
I don't know if it has been asked already, but is there going to be a racial skill change for drop suits too? Are Combat Rifle and Rail rifle going to have a sharpshooter skill?

This is going to get lost here on the 13th page, but whatever:

Don't change two stats at once. You have no idea which stat change had the desired impact. Keep everything constant, and change only one stat.

So, for swarms... either change the range and keep damage, or drop damage and keep range.

Or, even better:

Two swarm variants: One with current damage and shorter range
One with reduced damage and current range

That way you can play test both stat changes, and KNOW which stat change had the desired effect.

Given that the Breach Assault Rifle has increased hip fire accuracy, I'd say it's a stretch to assume that the Rail Rifle, being based on the Breach AR, is going to have reduced hip fire accuracy.

Edit: I'd also like to mention that if we are provided with some videos showing how the weapons operate we can avoid the necessity of a balance pass early on and help CCP get it right the first time instead of having to waste resources/time going back to fix a screw up that could have been avoided. Unlikely though as this is what the CPM is apparently having problems getting CCP to understand in the first place.
