Except, it pretty much outclasses the AR in many ways. Now I'm not upset or complaining. I continue to use my AR. My old CEO tried to get me into SCRs. I've seen him do some damage on the field. For me, the rifle just wasn't my style.

But SCR has range. Not only that, the damage and ROF is monstrous compared to AR. Some strafing and from the hip fire from a SCR (skilled one), you're dead in a nanosecond.

Again, I'm not mad or am I complaining. I'm just dealing with reality.

You are uttering common rhetoric that many others say that really doesn't make any kind of sense.

The AR is the jack of all trades. That's what assault rifle is, essentially. It's built upon that foundation as the common all around weapon for the infantry soldier.

Also, AScR has higher base damage, but lower rate of fire. Against armor the AScR is better than the AR because it is higher base damage lower RoF. Much like the Boundless SMG is better against shields than the Assault SMG.

More range is a given since it is amarr laser like technology.

The current AR is Gallente. If you think about it.. The AR has been the most OP weapon through out all the builds. It's range is insane for Gallente blaster technology. Honestly it's nice seeing more diversity on the field than just AR everywhere.

Now, I use the imperial and I will say, it is very OP in 1v1s. That is why you want to catch the scrambler guy in 1v2 situation. Also don't challenge a scrambler at range... That'll get you killed. Even if you use an AR

As far as the ASCR goes, I think it sucks compared to regular AR. It feels like it has less range and more dispersion and recoil than the ARs. :/
