Nowhere in the two examples quoted does either one give a definition for the class of weapons it's in. It's entirely possible that they're each in different classes. The first being a (quoted from the text) 'mass manufactured plasma weapon' the second being a 'rail rifle' for example. The only thing that the two quoted pieces of text shows is that Kaalakiota are more forthcoming about the slight drawbacks of it's weapon than Duvolle, although they do point out that the drawbacks are because of some advantages.

Assault rifle:

"Conceived by Duvolle Laboratories, a corporation best known for its ceaseless R&D, the G75-VLB solves many of the problems inherent in mass-manufactured plasma weapons. [1] The result is a weapon that offers improved accuracy and greater containment field stability (which [2] equates to faster, longer bursts of fire) than anything in its class.

It is a magazine-fed, [3]short-to-mid range weapon offering fully automatic fire. Charged plasma munitions are pumped into a cyclotron that converts the plasma into a highly lethal bolt before it is expelled from the chamber. Upon impact with the target, the magnetic field surrounding the bolt collapses, venting superheated plasma onto the contact point."

[1] The best accuracy comes from the AScR when zoomed and the best hipfire accuracy comes from the Rail rifle. Please change to "Offers the worst accuracy of any gun in its class, even though it's operational range requires good accuracy".

[2] The burst AR is by far one of the worst weapons in Dust and has been for such a long time, as for the rof I believe that goes to the Combat rifle. Please change to "equates to slow rof by conventional standards, and the worst burst weapon ever conceived. Sorry but you better go Minmatar".

[3] Since it has the shortest range and it doesn't match any other gun in range it is a short to short range weapon please change to "short".

I think the entire description is best summarized as, "A sub-optimal weapon best used a SP sink or to change your difficulty, best when used with a Gallente scout and their oh so godly 3 hp/s repair. It offers no real advantages over any other weapon available, even though all those weapons will have extreme advantages over this one. Use of this weapon comes with no warranty to your PS3 hardware if you proceed to smash them in rage from being destroyed by every other rifle."

When the Assault rifle is working as intended please use this definition:

"Particle blasters operate on a similar principle as the-árailgun except they fire a magnetically contained ball of subatomic particles. No other turret class can match the sheer destructive power of particle blasters, but due to the rapid dispersion of the containment field, it also has the worst range of all turrets. Requires hybrid ammo types: antimatter, iridium, iron, lead, plutonium, thorium, tungsten, uranium."

Gallante is supposed to have superior technology but thir AR is terrible compared to CR and RR

+« mad-+

Burst Rifle is the worst weapon in- Dafuq-+ Yeah, you lost all credibility right there. You leave my G75-VLB alone you unskilled menace.

Seriously though, if you're not doing well, it's not the weapon.
