With a 78m range it's going to be insane. I won't be able to stay competitive with my weapon anymore, I'm going to say goodbye to my love (Tac AR, which will become completely obsolete) and join the Darkside (Rail or Scrambler).

I will probably spec in both of them, so whatever gets nerfed, I will always have a powerful weapon to play with. This is why I'm saving 1+ million SP.

This is kindof the POINT of the Scrambler Rifle. The Tactical Assault Rifle is the Gallente ripoff of the Scrambler Rifle, like the Assalt Scrambler Rifle is the Amarrian ripoff of the Blaster Rifle. The Scrambler Rifle is SUPPOSED to seem better than the TAR, just like the AR is better than the AScR. You aren't supposed to be able to spec into just one gun (AR) and get all the roles covered (AR and TAR). Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's the way we do it in New Eden.

But that's the problem.
The AR and the ASCR are equals.
Yes the ASCR has more side to side sway, but it has NO vertical recoil at all.
It also has a larger clip, tighter hip fire and more range.

The saving grace of the AR is that it has no recoil for the first 15 rounds in it's mag.

I have yet to use the AScR due to my own personal grudges against automatic weaponry, but the AR seems to have its own bonuses. You can remove all AR recoil by letting go of the trigger for a hair every 15 shots, causing the recoil values to reset. It also has a laser-straight firing cone which allows all its bullets to hit unrealistically often. I will offer an AScR critique later on, may as well use what I already have SP in.

Used the AScR for a few rounds, it's better against Caldari but still feels like it's weaker than the AR against anything else, notably heavies and LAVs. I'll do maths for it later.

Did you seriously just say the AScR is weaker than the AR against LAVS ? Are you for real ?? What the hell are you doing shooting at LAVS with a flipping AR/AScR ? So that's why there are some idiots shooting at my lav and doing nothing to it .. I thought it was players just out of the academy On a serious note ScR are laser weaponry they do 120% damage v shields and 80% damage v armour whereas AR's do 110% damage to shields and 90% damage to armour therefore it will obviously be better against the shield tanking Caldari than the often dual tanking (although it's usually more armour tanking than shield tanking) heavies and the AR will be better v anything that is slightly more armour based ...
