No, it doesn't. The only difference MIGHT be light weapon operation but it's hardly the only one requiring it at 3 and the difference is marginal.

ROF buff not needed weapon is finally going to be closer to where it should be, the bottom of the heap.
Now if only we could get the HMG and forge more of a boost given how much of a sp sink it is just to skill into those!

Oh yes, it's going to the bottom of the heap. Why should it be there? The reason is not SP, because the difference is so marginal if it even exists (which it doesn't, in many cases).
Roll

Considering the HMG is going to be pretty much de facto the most powerful infantry weapon in 1.8 and heavies are going to be spammed left, right and centre I don't think you have to worry about that.

the AR does indeed require the LEAST amount of SP to use the weapon. I am not sure if it is the only weapon but it is one of very few that only requires weapon operation 1.

That puts it at 563 DPS, and it's full-auto so you're going to get that automatically. It still has a very short clip size that empties in less than three seconds with that RoF, but that's an absurd amount of damage output. Putting a new RPM at 500-600 would work better. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Yes,i'm totally going to take the opinion of someone with AMARRIAN4LYFE! in their signature when it comes to Gallente weapons. You gallente scum always want to be the most dominant faction! That is why you complain until you get what you want! There is a REASON why we amarr are the strongest faction in new eden! Fun fact: The Amarrians are poorer than the Gallente. The Gallente have the strongest economy in New Eden. If you want to try and prove you're the strongest faction though, go ahead. I'm sure you'll fare so much better against the Federation than against the Republic. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

You're completely right. That should absolutely mean that the weapon should be trash. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

For far too long this weapon has been the master of nearly every range short of sniper. It was such a good weapon that i skilled into it to proto level so i could truly melt face with my heavy suit and it worked amazingly well. I won't feel bad at all if it is outclassed by literally every weapon even pistols you all had it coming just like the flaylocks and the TAK AR. Ah yes. Retributive balancing. If something was good for a time, it is imperative that it must be terrible forever after that time. This is why we can't have nice things. You have long since made your choice.
