I'm gonna sound like a mega-pleb when I ask this, but does anyone have some tips on using these?
Even with the MinAssault bonus it feels like I'm going through my clips way too quickly, and I find myself having to rely on my SMG more than my ACR.
How do you manage to use these things so well?

I've been wondering something similar :P I always get much better results out of the regular CR than the ACR.
Although my problem is usually capacity rather than magazine size :/
It would seem like wisdom, but for the warning in my heart...

They're not as good as everyone makes them out to be. 
If you haven't already, get that sharpshooter skill up to lv3 or 4, it really helps, then think of it more like an SMG in the way you use it. It's generally going to be a close range hipfire weapon for downing people while strafing. If you do Ads though, aim for the head as much as possible. At 20 damage per bullet, you need to squeeze out every bit you can manage. Oh, and never engage shield based suits with them. If you see a Caldari or Min assault, you're best off biting your own bullets. It'll be less painful. Oh, and kill stealing is your friend.
P.S. I wouldn't recommend worrying about ammo. Keep a decent nanohive on you and go nuts. You can't really conserve anything with this gun, even if you're a good shot, you're going to be easily emptying half your magazine on average per target.
Nova Knives are best sidearm.

Throw on DMG mods and aim near the top of the chest so that it drifts to their head as you strafe

The ACR is for Close encounters only. You can hit at range but the damage drops off quite fast and the damage per bullet is low so every shot counts. Control your trigger, burst fire it at mid range. Have a full clip when shooting shield tankers.
I also recommend stacking at least an enhanced damage mod to give it some oomph.
Its not bad but the standard CR works better 2/3 of the time.
The ACR may be getting a dispersion increase for delta HF(I think that is actually a good thing but that is just me)
It's also getting a 4% damage increase too but time will only tell if that will help in general.

You... have problems with the clip size after the Minassault bonus?
Huh.
Do you control your fire or do you spray everything at once? I rarely need much fire discipline with the ACR, but it'll help if you're having trouble with clip size.

I personally love the ACR and yes it's an ammo eater. Close range is the key and it annihaltes suits. At longer ranges I find the kick/spread rises fast, making it harder to apply solid DPS. If they're in your face close, strafe and hipfire. Most importantly, always reload at every opportunity (although I guess this applies to every weapon).
In all fairness I do only use it on my scout fits, so 9/10 I'm behind them and they're down before they can react. I still think it's an effective weapon. The only suits I have real issues with are shield tanked Caldari. |

Flux grenades before you engage with the ACR. Once your into armour, the thing is a masterpiece. Oh and short controlled bursts of fire when at range. Then let rip with hip fire when you get close.

A mistake people make with the acr is hipfiring too much. Beyond 20m or so youll do much more damage aiming down sights. BUT you have to be accurate, youll get no help from aim assist.
Reload constantly. It is not a weapon like the ar, rr or scr where you can fire a third of a clip and still have enough to down the next enemy.
The weapon is a mixed bag in cqc, brutal when you hit but if you miss you dont get a second chance cos the clip empties so quick. So only engage from angles where youre confident of a high percentage of hits.
Damage is great at mid range (30-40m) but drops off rapidly. Dont waste ammo shooting at people at long range, you may draw rr or scr fire that will make a mockery of your peashotter at that distance.
The ideal map is midrange with lots of cover. Ashlands or the map with a tabletop and two big hangers (forget name). It can do a job in the city but many prefer a shotgun or ar. On more open maps a rr or scr is usually a better choice.
Tanked heavies cannot be taken down in a single clip so have a plan for the reload (ie cover you can put between yourself and fatboy).
Carry a good hive, at least advanced.
This is from using acr on scout suits, mostly still applies to min assault but the extra clip size is a big help. |

I think it's the ACR more than your skill with it, I struggle to get more than 2 kills out of a clip with min assault 3. What I've noticed to help is (and I know it's a spray weapon) to take your finger off the trigger when they're not directly in your sights, because of the dispersion its a question of a few bullets hitting them or a lot more. Slower kills but with good situational awareness not a large problem.
Also carry a hive, the simple basic nanohive should be enough.

You gotta tap R at range so you waste less ammo, and only engage those who are right there in your field of vision under 50m.

Hipfire, don't be afraid to stop shooting to "re-aim", hip fire you have the best Hipfire and dispersion use it to your advantage. Flux flux flux flux, use range to your advantage, hipfire, get reload to level 4/5 and it becomes a bullet hose.
