Assault rifle

Call it a blaster rifle, damnit!
Now that the rest of the ARs are out, tactical and burst ARs should be refunded and removed
I no longer have any complaints about their over-versatility
An actual buff may be in order- increased clip size seems to be the most popular request, and it makes sense to me.

No to the underlined.

Unless of course, you remove assault variants of the CR, SCR, and RR. We have the assault (Blaster) rifle, afterall. In addition, we need to remove the breach SCP and Breach SMG once the Bolt pistol and Magsec come out. Also, we ought to remove the breach AR as well, now that the RR is out.

Heck, why not just remove all weapon variants all together? This game could always use less content.

The reasoning behind this is simply because the combat rifle makes the burst AR pointless, while the scrambler rifle and rail rifle make the tactical AR pointless, as they're better all around.

The reasoning behind this is simply because the combat rifle makes the burst AR pointless, while the scrambler rifle and rail rifle make the tactical AR pointless, as they're better all around. Why not take that reasoning all the way? Remove the Gallente assault rifle. The Minmatar assault combat rifle more or less makes the Gallente AR pointless to the same extent that the combat rifle makes the bust AR pointless. I'd rather things be balanced/reworked, not removed. I'd rather CCP not take the easy way out. The only way I would support removal of weapon variants is if full weapon customization is in the game. Which will be awhile (or never).
