As some know,there are various variations of weapons and races that specialise in them.

Tac:
Amarr -Scrambler rifle
The amarr have this one in the bag,it obliterates every suit under heavies within 5 shots.
Drawback:Overheat

Breach:
Cal-RR
Caldari can easily lay claim to this,seeing as they have exceedingly long range as well as the ability to even kill shield tanked suits easily.
Drawback(s):kick and magazine(?) size (magazine size may not be an actual drawback at their optimal,the kick is)

Burst:
Minmatar-CR
1200 RPM,33 damage per bullet means the minmatar will never be beaten in this area.
Drawback:Small magazine (profile can be ignored when you're able to spit out such huge amounts of damage)

Assault:
Minmatar-ACR
1200 RPM is why the minmatar will never be beaten in this area,supposedly the burst specialists the incrediblely high ROF will always ensure their dominance over the Gallente assault weapon(s).
Drawback: none(?)


As you can see,and as most have already understood,Gallente is out classed in their specialisation.

Possible fix:Swap the ROF of ACR and the Gal PR and increase officer variations to 1300-1350 rpm.

Drawbacks for the Gallente plasma rifle will then be:
Magazine,range,possibly overheat

Gallente would become the spray and pray experts of CQC.

ACR is better than the AR because it does 10% damage to armor rather than shields...but only -5% to shields.

Seeing as how most people armor tank...it just makes sense that the ACR would deal damage faster. It also gets a prof bonus to armor, making it slice through heavy suits like nothing.

ACR is the best rifle in this game so far. Tactical AR IS THE WORST.

How high are you?

The ACR's DPS would take a NOSE DIVE considering it's low damage per bullet.

AR would be FOTM in a heartbeat. At 40 damage a bullet, it would have a DPS of 800.

800.

Yeah, no. Think before you post. The drawbacks you have listed would do nothing. Change damage values or go home.
