The regular scrambler rifle has overheat because it actually needs it for balance purposes, but the same can't be said the assault variant. The assault SCR has mediocre DPS, good range, and long sustained fire (magazine size), but at the cost of having relatively high dispersion. Doesn't seem like it needs a nerf to me.
Actually, it has extremely accurate dispersion, lowest reload time, largest magazine, and the best ADS of all four Assault variants.
Combine that large magazine with high damage per bullet and you get a weapon that does pretty high damage per clip.
I didn't do the math yet, but I have a feeling that with the overheat, the damage per clip vs damage before overheat will be similar to other Assault variants.

Damage before overheat on the Assault SCR is at 1,787.5
For reference, the AR's damage per clip is 2099.4.
The ACR's damage per clip is 1,400.8.
The ARR's damage per clip is 1,680.
As you can see, the ASCR isn't far behind at all, it's only beaten by the AR, but compared to the AR it has a better ADS, tighter hipfire, faster reloads and around 30~ more meters of range.
And if you regulate your fire, the damage output is at 2,574.

This tells me that the Gal Assault bonus is terribad.

Oh, Rattati.
I just realized that there is no Federation Duvolle Assault Rifle.
There is a Federation Specialist, and a Federation Tactical, but there is no Federation Duvolle.
Which is curious because it exists as STD/ADV levels.
