Yep. Still on my Calogi, love the thing.
Was attempting to proto every weapon a bad idea? Yes. 11 so far

Naw. If I want an assault weapon, it'll be the ACR. If I want the range of a rail rifle, I'll just use the rail rifle. I find the ARR hard to control around the 80m range.

It's been made obsolete by a sidearm in my case. I tried but it seems to kick a lot more this patch or I just got too used to the magsec's recoil. Speaking of which the magsec does 90% of what I used the ARR to do. The kick really reduces it's useful range so it doesn't even have that going for it.

I use the ARR on my CalLogi as well. It's a solid weapon for a combat logi and I like the range and stopping power it offers.

Like to pair it sometimes with the RR on my cal commando. Takes advantage of my rail prof 5 and the suit bonus. Its ok, but running the basic AR/RR instead feels more natural and it's cheaper.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think the Rail Rifle Operation skill's kick reduction may be on the fritz (like everything else). Its either that or they nerfed it a little harder than they let us knowGǪ.

Went Proficiency V Rail Rifle last build. Should've gone Combat Rifle. Can't win 'em all :-)
I've yet to find myself in a situation where I'd wished I had an Assault Rail Rifle. Standard Rail Rifle outperforms Assault variant at range while other Fine Rifles (AR, CR) outperform Assault Rail up close. The MagSec makes the weapon even less relevant. If the Assault Rail had zero "charge" time, I still don't think I'd use it.

Personally, I often find that the extra cost of variants compared to their performance makes using them unjustified most of the time. I am skilled into every rifle except the amarr ones though, so my perspective might be different than some people who aren't; because I can always use another gun that better fits the range and situation without resorting to variants. |

Yeah. I don't get why everyone doesn't have each weapon at least to advanced. It doesn't even cost that much SP unlike core skills like the Electronics and Engineering skills...

Give me a tac rail. please. I don't care if it has a .6 second spool-up and one shot per trigger press as long as it does a delicious 170 damage per shot, and yes I know that having this much damage would probably make it OP. |

Not OP, but good for kill stealing due to the huge alpha. EDIT: It would be cool and good for long range guerrilla warefare. It would suck up close, but be good at range (it would be cool if it had more zoom and range than the Rail Rifle).

It's nice, but anybody wanting to use it as their primary weapon would be better off with the ACR.
The two have a very similar feel, but the Combat outperforms in pretty much every area.

I was running around as a cal scout with sniper rifle and magsec earlier. it was pretty not bad. I'd greatly prefer a tac rail though as I could still conceivably use it in close quarters.

Oh god so much this! This is what I envisioned the Rail Rifle to be anyways, though I think that role primarily went to the SCR.

The ARR is better for longer ranges, the AR is better for close range spray and pray.
Both get outdone by the regular RR and regular CR thou, the CR being slightly superior since it preforms well at all ranges.
