You have this all wrong. Why would anyone use the Rail Rifle when they can pick up a Sniper? Why would anyone use a Laser Rifle when they can use the Scrambler Rifle? Here's the thing, people are always trying to use guns that fit there playstyle. The rail rifle is a very easy gun to use and does not meet much of the standards for a challenging weapon. People often see me running an Allotek Plasma Cannon and Flaylock pistol. This is because I take the trash CCP manages to publish and I make it useful. The Plasma Cannon is a very bad weapon don't get me wrong but I enjoy using it. Its because you have to actually use tour SP to get the reload and ammo skills. You have to use your SP to get proficiency skills. I prefer using it with my Scout ck.0 and with a cloak field and a Nanohive. I use it specifically to be highly defensive on points. If you'd like me to attempt to teach you how to use it I would be glad too. Also I managed (I'm sure I'm the first one) to hit a double kill from 350m with my Plasma Cannon.

True they wont shine without proper aiming and it will take you some time to get used to it but I am loving it on my scout more than the shotgun. Plasma cannon is damn good now, especially since the projectile speed buff :D "Also I think knives are a good idea, big f**k-off shiny ones" "Guns for show, Knives for a pro" MY LIFE FOR AIUR!

The Plasma Cannon is an anti shield weapon in terms of its anti-vehicle capabilities. Against shield tanks it does some serious damage. Against armour tanks it is somewhat less effective. The Plasma Cannon is an anti everything weapon. As adept as killing infantry and tanked suits as it is at damaging dropships tanks and other forms of vehicle. At first it may not seem like much, but over time once you get used to it and start to actually put some good amount of skill points into the weapon it really is a lot of fun to use. Personally right now my go to thing to do when I play dust is - KLA Plasma Cannon, on my dragonfly Gallente scout, 3 x complex kin cats and what ever you fancy in the high slot. I play as a hit and run - 'run by' skirmisher. I use speed to get into position and then rain hell on the enemy. But yea - TLDR with skill and practice the PLC is a great all around weapon.

My furthest kill was around 100m, and I was pretty chuffed with myself. 350m? God mode right there!
