What did you expect, everyone to run around with shotguns and snipers?
To an extent this.
The one thing that irks me about the current AR is its omnipotence.
Its good enough out to 75 meters, its good enough within 5 meters
With the new AR variants, the weapons should feel less omnipotent. The current AR will have a shorter range, and the CR filling the block between the AR and the RR.

In other words, the Ar is getting fixed by adding different ar variations
#SHOTS_FIRED But seriously, like the other guy said, there is an inherent problem with the rifles if anything but is a sure way to land on the right portion of the killfeed. They are, as said above, omnipotent. No reason to use anything but main rifles.
I think that part of the issue with the other weapons is that their just so damn weird.
Seriously, they all defy standard conventions, so when a weapon that conforms to those is available, it is usually more powerful due to the general fact that when you say "Conforms to conventions, it means powerful, rapid fire, hitscan weapons.
Which are fine. They just need to be balanced with those weapons that may not be as normal as them.
Point, LR. It desperately needs to be a little more form-fitting, with a longer effective range (20m window, 40 meters out is very hard to keep when others have a weapon that doesn't have that issue), with a much softer falloff when it is out of its effective window. That, along with a much faster warmup to its optimum damage, would make the weapon more able to stand against the more conventional weapons.
None of the niche weapons, exempt shotgun, are balanced to be better then the opposing weapon of a more conventional style.
LR v. RR
NK v. Melee
PlC v. SL
I feel the devs went "Hey, a neat weapon design, now lets balance it with the other neat weapons we have in game", and when these new weapons hit, their lack of power is now exagerated
DUST is a half decent game.
Be happy its free.
