Seriously though, is it worth using over the assault scrambler?
I like Gallente weaponry actually, but the AR feels so.....meh.

i use one on all my gal commando fits. As I typically just run basic suits I do quite well with my Exile with in it's range of course. Paired with a RR as much as I hate the RR and you can do some damage at any range.
Your game f'ing sucks, but I'll still play it.... damn you!

i enjoy the breach AR since it does decent dmg and you wont miss that much. the other variants arent that good besides breach and the regular automatic but besides that its fairly decent.

The assault scram costs more, is more fitting intensive and the muzzle flash is off-putting to say the least. The damage profile can be an issue too, of course.
Essentially, the AR is fine so long as you deny all knowledge of the CR existence.

If you're messing around in pubs, it's alright.
Competitively, it's crap. Not enough DPS to take down heavies in most scenarios. That and the damage profile doesn't usually favor going against heavies.
It honestly needs an RoF boost given it's range in comparison to its DPS. It's tougher to fit, has less range, and less DPS than the CR. Dont nerf the CR, just make the AR beastly in close range. It should be the ultimate short range brawler rifle.

The CR needs a 50% chance of jamming when in max DPS (but it shouldn't be as long as say the overheat of a HMG, just enough to make him stop firing).

It's alright, but you're better off with another Rifle. A popular one is the CR due to the RoF and damage profile.
It barely gets to compete with the other rifles even if used on a proto Commando. |

Boring but Practical= Assault Rifle.
I like it, is definitely a jack-of-all-trades type weapon. You want a challenge use the GLU-TAC. The name and features of it make it a 'classic' type
weapon. Still boring, but far from inferior. In my personal experience with it. GEK-38 is my favorite besides the GLU-TAC.
Sidearm and Light Weapon Scout, I use 'em all.

It's great. It's like a low damage, fully automatic shotgun with a bit more range. Paired with a good sidearm, the only thing it can't do as good as the shotgun is taking on heavies, and that can still be done well if you flank them.

Over the SCR? No I wouldn't say so. I'm not an SCR user myself, so I enjoy hearing the drums roll on my GEK. Still play with it sometimes, especially in Ambush where I play with my starter fits.

Well it's easier to fit for a start.
The AR also seems easier to control than the AScR.

The AR is not horrible IF you are speced into it. Is it PC or even FW worthy? I would have to say no. Still with decent specing it does pretty well in pubs. Decent being lvl 5 and at least lvl 3 everything but fitting.
Most shield damage weapons are crap for killing. But that's why we have the good old smg now ain't it? oh wait sorry guess that ain't right now either. hmmmm

ASCR chews up everything for breakfast with it's large magazine and more damage per shot, faster reload and longer range.
It's also not exactly fitting intensive, it costs more PG but less CPU.
It's muzzle flash can be annoying, but it's nothing I can't deal with.
I have also never found the damage profile to be a problem, I have chewed up Gallente Sentinels better than I did with the AR.
Overall, the AR is the weakest link in the group.

The TAC AR's ROF is too low now, I oversample too much when using it for it to be viable.

I understand them quite well, that is why I always attack Min and Cal suits first with a ScR or AR, and leave the Amarr and Gal be. While armor tanking may be the new style of the game, I refuse to use the CR due to it being a Minmatar weapon.
