Absolutely not by far, Also the firing delay and its hipfire spread do nearly nothing to gimp it in cqc
I doubt youve ever used anything above the std variant

the RR seems op because everybody armor tanks

I would agree with that if i hadn't experienced S.T.D RRs absolutely EAT through shields like they weren't even there

I'm a heavy and I can out strafe a rail rifle. It's garbage compared to other rifles under 20m. If you believe otherwise then believe what you want but when a heavy doesn't complain about a weapon in cqc then it's fine. Personally I'd love more rr's on the field because of dat charge up time kills it in cqc

It's not meant for extended CQC, but it can easily drop a single target point blank if need be. Get over it. If you don't play to win in FW, then you're playing for Caldari. -Patrick57 Minmatar.

It's happened a couple of times and its left me..confused. Wouldn't my SMG be in effective range while their RR is way out of it?

The truth is it can hit you from way out. But cqc ide take a gek. Ide pit the duvolle or boundless cr against it at their optimal ranges. Its hard to fight with cr, and cr makes you forget how to ar but step into other rifles optimal range and rr boils down to player. You are welcome for my leadership *Proven Aggressive Type

Personally I'd love more rr's on the field because of dat charge up time kills it in cqc My scanner and pre-primed assault rail rifle would beg to disagree. You better get me quick (or have a logi with a rep toll on you) or you're toast -- you'll virtually never have an opportunity to surprise me and that means no charge up time. I'm not saying that I kill every heavy I run into, but rather I win more than I lose when it comes to 1:1 encounters -- and it's not strafe speed, but rather who has the better gun game (or logi) that decides the battles.
Supernus Gigas Star Giants 42	Posted - 2014.01.09 04:36:00 - [28] - Quote The Rail Rifle, to me, seems to be more effective at CQC than I think it should. Heck, when I first heard about CCP adding them to the game a while back, I imagined them to be a long-range, low RoF, high damage, DMR type weapon. I think they should be changed to a DMR weapon, but I don't honestly think that radical of a change would ever be implemented. WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE SUCH TERRIBLE IDEAS ALL THE TIME?
