A advanced ScR melts through heavies at close range.
Only if it's in the hands of a competent Amarr Assault. Or if the Heavy sucks.
The RR and CR are overpowered because for some stupid reason, CCP this it's balanced for a gun to have 5% less DPS than the normal AR, but 70% more range.
Or higher DPS and higher range, in the case of CR.
The ScR would be overpowered if it didn't overheat. I'm not a fan of getting shot by it, but it feels close to balanced against the AR in my book.

You know, I have to give CR users credit.
This may be the first time I've seen a group of players who use an overpowered weapon post honestly about it being overpowered.
(Pay attention, Rail Rifle users...)

I guess I agree with you that it shouldn't, but I disagree that it actually happens all that much. I run a Templar Sentinel with MH-82 HMG 80% of my games, and I don't lose to AR, CR, ScR, or RR at close range unless my armor has been whittled down in a previous fight.
Or unless I'm up against a true pro player, and in those cases I know I was beaten by skill and nothing else.
ScR can unload a lot of damage quickly, it's true. But it will overheat before it can rapid-fire out 1300-1400 damage, which is what it needs to do to kill an armor plated heavy toe-to-toe. (Again: unless it's on an Amarr Assault.)
