(RPM / 60) x (Damage) = DPS
GEK-38 Assault Rifle:
-----> 12.5 * 31.5 = 393.75
BK-42 Assault Combat Rifle:
-----> 20 * 20 = 400
Duvolle Assault Rifle:
-----> 12.5 * 33 = 412.5
Six Kin Assault Combat Rifle:
-----> 20 * 21 = 420
What is the Assault Rifle getting that makes it usable, let alone worthwhile..?

And the Assault Scrambler Rifle is absolved, despite not having any muzzle climb at all O.o?

No idea about the AScR.
Food for thought, level 5 Minmatar Assault will have an 85 round magazine on the Assault Combat Rifle.

Boy that'd be the day. When the weapon itself is over-powered BY ITSELF due to power creep.

What is the Assault Rifle getting that makes it usable, let alone worthwhile..? Much more damage per clip. BK-42 ACR = 1360 damage per clip. GEK = 1890 damage per clip. That's the difference between consistently killing a Sentinel in one clip and not.
Whereas an HMG has a much higher DPS than either of them, and the consideration (as mentioned above) that a Minmatar Assault can potentially have an 85 round magazine bringing it's damage per clip to 1,700. I'm sorry but having more damage per magazine in the clip is sort of offset as well by the fact that the Assault Scrambler Rifle has a damage per clip of 2,457.
EDIT: Oh look at that the ASCR has a DPS of 401.48, higher than the AR and the ACR... Great...
