What are the current viable weapons of DUST?
Lay it on me.
I'd assume...
1) CR 2) PR 3) SG/SMG/Magsec 4) The pistols 5) MD 6) ScR 7) LR 8) AV 9) PC

Did you forget AR on purpose? Those seem to be increasing lately, which I think is a good sign given where they were.
Not to mention shotguns, which should be No.1. I would like to see the numbers of those mercs running around with shotguns, but some games seems like its a majority.
So much so I don't even get mad anymore when someone using something else kills me.

PR=AR. It's the RR that is missing.
From playing some last night, i want to say all weapons types are viable. Dusted off the gek last night & had a blast (puntastic)! While the tac PR is still pointless when compared to other variants, it seems PR's are back in contention with the CR & RR. SCR never stopped being awesome, so your good there. Rumor has it the PLC can do work now, too.
Pew pew, purr purr.
I am the cool.

ScR is super viable?
I'm expecting shield buffs reasonably soon, and there should be more shield-heavy suits soon what with the armour changes and the ScR's massive alpha means reps aren't really a big deal.

I actually planned on using the PR once I get back on.

In terms of viability:
HMG = AR = CR = RR = ScR | MD = LR > PLC | FG > SL >PLC
ScRs are still viable if you only fight Shield Tankers, which should be increasingly common once the Shield/Armor imbalance is taken care of.
Plasma Rifles got the buff they finally needed, and are now the HMG of Conventional Rifles. Even the Breach PR is good now.
Amarrians would prefer you be faithful. I'd rather you be logical.

Not sure if trolling or terrible.
ScR is entirely viable against armour tankers as well, unless it's against a Galsent or something (but none of the rifles bar the burst CR really have the stopping power for that).
The ACR is still better than the AR in pretty much every way that counts, although at least DPS is about equal now.
Suggesting any of the rifles is the equal of the HMG is laughable. Have you used that monster lately? It destroys all life. Not even the CR can match it.
And... the breach PR? In a good place?
It has the lowest DPS by far of any automatic weapon. Hell, a flaylock can compete with its damage output on splash. As well as the shortest rifle range and the lowest automatic RoF.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

1) CR and RR are in the same boat IMO 2) HMG 3) SCR (there is a much larger percentage of shield tanking Cal's since 1.8) 4) a non variant AR (i.e. not the tactical or breach) 5) Everything else is tied at 5th.
EDIT:
I changed it to indicate the HMG

I tried out my scrambler yesterday and ran up against 5 heavies.
Managed to take out two and get the third to 10 armor but damn all this armor running around now (I'm so used to caldari scouts and standard scouts everywhere)
My HMG is still fine. The ACR I think is PERFECT now...the CR gives me more trouble than I'd like though. Played 10 matches, and not a single RR on the field besides the random noobs trying out the gun (makes me want to spec into it...possibly...as much as I hate it) Oh and the PR is deadly now...but definitely not anywhere close to OP. I usually just laugh at Plasma rounds flying by, but now I actually have to take cover and not ignore them.
Mass drivers have become very weak against heavies because of the repair buff (I was literally shrugging off the splash damage from a proto the other day because I could rep faster than he could do damage), and laser rifles are still annoying when in the right hands.
Still need to try out the PLC, but in general, the weapons are all in a good place right now.

Assault Rifles:
PR is only better because the Combat Rifle was indirectly nerfed because Stun-Lock was removed.
Out of all the Assault Rifles it's still the worse one so I wouldn't have it on the list but it is making progress. Sure I do great with the PR but I could be doing much, much, much better with any of the other assault rifles.
Sidearms:
Magsec is decent but completely overshadowed by the SMG which is way too good for what it's worth.
Pistols....why are you using any of the pistols when you can use the two SMGs for the identical amount of CPU/PG and ISK. Literally no point in using a pistol competitively.
That being said, the Ion Pistol is by far the worst pistol still. Bolt Pistol is much better since they allowed the pistols to have their actual range falloff and not just disappear after a certain range. Scrambler pistol is still the best but once again. Why use a pistol when you have the SMGs?
Mass Driver:
Good, Mostly used a lot now because you have people wanting to go easy mode in a heavy suit because that's the FoTM no-gungame choice atm. You really don't have to be smart with a heavy suit to do well, just fire like an idiot at a group and you'll get a kill. Of course not all heavies are stupid, just the stupid ones.
Laser Rifle:
It's a damn good support weapon at ranges especially in open maps. Only problem is the Redline Snipers that are just a cancer to this game.
AV:
AV grenades now pack more of a punch and Plasma Cannons can now actually scare away a tank. Taking out Shield Tanks with a PLC is now more than possible in most conditions and you can scare away armor tanks with the PLC. You'll need Plasma Cannon or Swarm Launcher Tag team to kill a really "good" tank.
