It is not that hard CCP.
40% more range? 40% less damage. |

In fact, comparing the sniper rifle with the assault rifle, it should be healing enemy suits for somewhere around 300-400 per shot. bonus healing to armor and penalty healing to shields applied of course.
It is true though, longer range should correlate with less dps, probably not on a % for % basis though.
Ok let me amend that.
1.4 times the range, divide the DPS by 1.4 as well.
2 times the range, half the DPS.
Yes it should be that strong of a difference. An AR should absolutely DESTROY a RR in the AR optimal. a HMG should DESTROY a AR in it's optimal. so on and so on.
Think about it, the AR does less than 30% damage at the RRs optimal, why should the RR be both 100% effective and 90% of the DPS in the AR optimal?
Also read the OP, DPS. the sniper rifle has abysmal DPS. |

Its not nearly as simple as you are thinking though.
I'm sure not if I have the exact numbers right but I think the AR is 40 optimal and 65 effective? and the rail is 65 optimal and 85 effective?
So by your math the AR is at 30% at 65m, and the RR should be somewhere around 40/85 times the damage of the AR? So at 50% max AR damage at its own optimal?
You can start to see I think why this would render the rail rifle completely useless?
I would never use a rail rifle that is only putting out ~15 damage per shot when the AR puts out 30 per shot and then drops only to 10 at 65m. Not a significant trade off for the massive closer quarter dps increase.
However... the rail should have lower dps like you say due to its longer optimal
Check out ranges here
The Rail rifle has 1.65 times more range than the AR, it should do 0.606 times the damage.
IF you were to follow this damage paradigm, it would make sense.
The combat rifle, having 1.35 times more range, would do 0.72 times the damage.
The scrambler has 1.65 times more optimal, but much faster fall-off than the other rifles, so maybe 0.62 times the damage.
*by damage I mean DPS
