DUST Search - Does anyone else feel like ALL the assault rifles should have an overheat mechanic?

Just to preface this, when I say AR, I mean all rifle variants.

Basically the title. It sorta makes sense from both balancing and common sense view. Makes sense from the balancing view because people will always cry ARs are OP (and they're not entirely wrong) so this is a nice nerf to them that is manageable without being crushing, and it makes sense from a common sense viewpoint because other weapons of the same type overheat. What I mean when I say that is:

Blaster turrets overheat, they are hybrid plasma, so why doesn't the plasma rifle(assault rifle) overheat?
Railgun turrets overheat, they are hybrid rail, so why don't rail rifles overheat?
The HMG overheats, it is projectile, so why doesn't the CR overheat?

Not that I'm saying that EVERY weapon should get an overheat mechanic, but it is a nice way to nerf something while also adding a new mechanic that actually requires a small degree of thinking. This is the, "thinking man's shooter," after all.

rail rifles dont need overheat, its NEAR impossible to to land the last 10 or so bullets of the clip with the insane recoil even at 5

It must be really hard using a weapon that has massive range, pinpoint accuracy, and great CQC usage. Allow me to rescind my proposal, for your sake. While I'm thinking of it, we should also make a petition to remove overheat from the Assault Scrambler Rifle. Since that has massive recoil as well, it totally isn't justified for it to have an overheat mechanic.

its **** in CQC versing any other reasonable light weapon, if you die to a non assault rail rifle in cqc its pretty obvious, youre a **** player, or youre out of ammo

Especially an overheat mechanic that hurts the user - a weapon that may have to discharge dangerous amounts of heat would discharge them away from the user. Oh well, plenty off CCP's weapon design decisions don't make any sense to anyone with a basic understanding of real world weapons. Yes, because I just recently went down to the local gun shop to purchase myself a Scrambler Rifle, and I now realize that CCP totally didn't follow the real-world design!
