I mean, I was thinking of using a proto combat rifle, but it says its only 1.6 more damage per bullet. To me, that seems like nothing, especially for 50k per gun. |

It does if you have complex damage mods. If not, then advanced is probably your best choice. |

To weapons,not so much. I mean PROTO WEAPONS ARE STRONGER than ADV ones,but the ISK difference is not comparable IMO.
To Dropsuits, YES. A LOT.

It also gives you a little bit more range.

The range increases are far more noticeable. All across the board: rifles, shotgun, HMG, SMG. The real difference that will win you those 1 on 1s is the range increase.
The main exceptions that come to mind are ScPs & their drastically improved DPS, swarms & their volley increase, and Mass Drivers with greater AOE.
No.

^ Agreed, sticking down the CR path, look at the assault variant. BK is around 17k per. Sixkin is around 77k per for a whopping 1.2 damage per bullet or something (I don't have the game in front of me).
60k price cost plus higher CPU and PG (I know the CR has low PG anyway) for 1.2 damage per bullet isn't worth the cost if you aren't running damage mods.
I am here to ask you one question, and one question only: EXPLOSIONS?

Yeah, I personally don't use proto because it's a waste of pg/cpu to me.
I'd say it's only worth it to use proto vs advanced if you're using two or more complex damage mods AND you have extra room on your suit AND you have the extra isk to blow. At that point the damage difference actually matters.
Also, prototype weapons have a longer range than the advanced variant, so not only are you doing more damage, but you can also hit players from farther away too, making it much easier to kill players at range.

Yup, the range increase kind of killed the std AR. You mostly see advanced and Proto.

Complex modules are where you get the most bang for your buck.
