I want to add to the list.
It's also possible that you are being team fired upon.
It's also possible that network related lag isn't allowing the game to tell you that you are being shot at. By the time the game tells you that you are taking damage, you are already 90% dead. These near instant kills aren't exclusive to the SCR. I've been killed faster than I can do a 180 degree turn (I have the sensitivity maxed), while strafing, in a 700+ hp suit, by a militia assault rifle user who just got his first kill after dying 17 times in a row.
The PC and SL should fit into the Sidearm slot so it's accessible and practical to carry one.

If as many people liked and used it as much as the rail rifle then it would be getting stomped into the ground, lucky for you guys it;s not popular.
It's not popular because it's not as "easy-to-use" as the other rifles due to it's semi auto mechanic. CCP takes it a step further by adding an overheat mechanic that can only be relieved by sinking tons of SP into a slow suit with a less than ideal slot layout.
The thing is, in most games, these types of weaponry (semi auto, single shot, trajectory) have a steep learning curve requiring the user to have a more precise and accurate muscle memory than when using fully auto/large cone of fire weaponry. Because of the learning curve, users who are able to fully take advantage of the semi auto weapon's strengths are rewarded with superior DPS.
Not everyone can do this.
This is why you don't see "Viziam Scrambler Rifle" all over the kill feed every match, yet still come across an occasional imperial badass who butt raeps the entire team going 39/2.
Not everyone can do it and you cannot nerf the actual players who can.
