Assault SMG Pros:
Higher DPS ignoring magsec's charge time
Significantly higher DPS including magsec's charge time (especially if they don't shoot their whole clip).
Higher ROF makes it easier to hit targets
Better shield penalty (only 5% compared to magsec's 10% penalty)
Bigger magazine size
Faster reload
More ammo
Uses 1 less PG

Magsec's Pros:
Longer range
Higher damage per individual bullet
Slightly more damage per clip (about 50 more damage)
Uses 2 less CPU

The comparison is not accurate as we don't know how an assault MagSec will work (if this will ever come). Apart from that the assault smg requires more SP to use.

Apart from that you are right the Assault SMG has Higher DPS but i really don't get the point of your statement... as no one ever stated the MagSec will be the best overall weapon.

We just stated the MagSec will make the SMG obsolete and this statement is still true and the Magsec will most likely make the AR obsolete and this is also still true.

Without accounting for RR charge it's: 467.5 AR 465.3 RR And of course AR is comfortably ahead in DPS if you take charge time into account. It's a pretty similar situation to SMG versus MSMG. EDIT: values calculated for 1.7 at proto level. It's a difference of 2 DPS and the assault rail rifle has higher dps 'I was wrong about AR versus RR DPS so I'm going to change the subject and hope no one notices'. That's a strange definition of changing the subject RRGëáARR

CommanderBolt ACME SPECIAL FORCES RISE of LEGION 1124	Posted - 2014.03.24 16:07:00 - [33] - Quote In any FPS game I have ever played that tries to be reasonably balanced, they will always have the 'long range high damage per bullet' rifles have some sort of weakness. Usually in the form of reduced rate of fire and clip size. However in DUST they dont seem to give the longest range rifles any sort of substantial penalty. I don't like to keep harking on about Battlefield 4 and I know people will be like "Go play BF then" but there is no shame at all in looking to other games to see how they handle balance / good gameplay.

Kairos Nitak Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 21	Posted - 2014.03.24 16:15:00 - [35] - Quote I think the strength of the SMG and MSMG will depend on the intended use. If you're an assault player who already has a mid to long range weapon, the SMG will be the obvious choice. The SMG's ability to spray a concentrated stream of high dps in CQC won't be matched by the MSMG. However, if you are a Heavy with a FG, or an assault with swarms, having a MSMG as a mid-range sidearm will be very ideal as in both situations you are likely not in a CQC situation. I don't think (at least I sure hope) either of them will be replacing any of the rifles. But we will find out very SOOOON!

Bethhy Ancient Exiles. Dirt Nap Squad. 1443	Posted - 2014.03.24 16:28:00 - [39] - Quote Why is the Caldari making Minmatar weapons anyways? "Favouring function over form, the SMG is a lightweight, semi-automatic weapon designed for close-quarters combat. What it lacks in stopping power and accuracy it grossly overcompensates for with quantity. Designed to injure and impede, the hailstorm of bullets the SMG produces is most effective in tight spaces against multiple targets. This original design is a paradigm of Minmatar construction. An inelegant but reliable weapon solution that is simple to produce, easily repaired using almost any available materials, and provides comparable pound-for-pound performance with similar sub-automatic weapons was a result of this design. Although an unabashedly low-tech weapon, it excels at what it was designed for: killing anything right in front of you." Should be the Boundless Assault Submachine gun... Boundless Creations the Minmatar weapon Tech corporation should have name over it.

If there was an assault magsec, it would outclass the assault SMG, just like the regular magsec outclasses the regular SMG. I'm just glad there isn't an assault magsec (yet) because it would be the best weapon in the game. Dedicated sidearm scout - Watch out for that headshot Scout community is the nuts

Those are two of the four weapons I'm skilled into. It burns me that CCP is making them obsolete after I dumped a large amount of SP into them to get competitive. I was running the MD for the longest time and getting decimated by the GEK and Duvole so regularly that I was forced to spend the SP to keep from dying so much. I do that and CCP turns around and does it to me again. I can abandon all the SP and chase the next FoTM or say the hell with it and get off the Merry Go Round and spend all my time in the air. I'm doing the latter.

Not having a scope is good since it has the same zoom. I also think it has less recoil.
