Half them say its on the first skill on the weapon tree others say its the skill that unlocks damage mods. Can someone enlighten me about the hidden stat bonuses in all the skills or at the least point me somewhere so I can check out said bonuses.
The only way to increase weapon damage in game is by increasing the 'proficiency' skill at the end of each weapons skill tree, by putting a damage mod on your suit, or by skilling into and using the commando suits.
Proficieny nets you up to 25% damage with the weapons preferred damage type; ARs and Scramblers for shields, Rail rifles, Combat rifles, Sniper rifles, and Mass drivers for armor.
Damage mods currently can give you up to 5% increase in general damage per mod placed on your suit, but it has a stacking penalty, so each mod you place gives you less of the bonus than the one before.
Commandos when leveled up to V give you a 10% increase in general damge for the light weapons that share the same race as the suit. Gallente get Assault rifles and Plasma cannons, Caldari gets Rail rifles and Swarm launchers, Amarr gets Scrambler rifles and Laser rifles, and Minmatar gets Combat rifles and Mass drivers.
But there is no 'hidden' 10% damage bonus to anything that I am aware of.

Crap, actually I misspoke, Proficiency can get you an extra -15%- not 25%. I don't know where I got 5% per level from, it's actually 3% per level... Other than that the rest stands.

The AR is still a fine weapon in regular play, and the breach is pretty decent as well so long as you're not facing a heavy in CQC or people who use cover liberally.
As for the burst and the tac, they too become quite good when they are easily controlled after the Gallente assault suits bonuses are applied. Hell, last night I faced a team consisting almost entirely of proto scouts using my Tac, and I was able to solo defend a letter pretty much the entire match killing 22 of them and only dying to insta-gib weapons, (kallikiota FG, Core locus, Duvolle SG.)

There are not stacking penalties there, however you have to remember the 15% proficiency only applies to the weapons preferred damage type.
