Get your head around the fact that the recoil is visual (It has zero to very little actual recoil from my tests), and you will be destroying things.
Largest clip, most damage per clip, fastest reload time, second longest range, probably the best sight for an Assault weapon (Red dot) and decent DPS.*
*In comparison to other Assault variants
Worst weapon choice possible against most targets because large amounts of armor make up the majority of dropsuit loadouts in the game, and it gets an incredible penalty to armor.
Add to the fact that armor HP is higher than shield HP in general, and it is a very ineffective weapon for killing anything other than scouts. |

.... that isn't a valid point. Triple damage mods can be applied to any weapon, many of which take advantage of it better. |

I find it better for chewing the armor on heavies than on my Plasma Rifle simply because of the higher damage per clip. Could be I was lucky with the heavies I encountered because I don't run the ASCR much, but from my testing it's a very solid Assault weapon.
A clip from either weapon will kill a heavy. They can't do much to evade your shots.
The only question that is relevant is which clip is going to kill them faster, and the ASCR will not.
That fact right there should be the end of your desire to use it.
It's my fault FA exists. Direct your rage to me.
