I have not tried the new changes yet but I do plan to very soon.
Going off of this and what I have heard elsewhere on the forums, we must not forget that the Tac AR has a much more favourable damage profile to the Scrambler as well.
Not only that, the scrambler HAS to be on the Amarr assault to be at max effectiveness where as that Tac AR can be on any suit and perform the same.
I'm really happy the TAC is 'back' but I dont want to screw over another weapon to get there.

It's the hit detection rating, lol And now you know the other reason so many use the CR and the Shotgun has terrible hit detection. "hit detection" rating? It's a metric calculated from the handling attributes, dispersion etc. So, basically, it's fluff because we don't know how the metric is actually calculated =P Can we get optimal/effective ranges instead?
Yea man.
@CCP Actual absolute stats that we fully understand are much more useful than random 'guide' stats to attributes we are not even certain of.
I was always under the impression the accuracy rating was hip fire accuracy, now I hear it is to do with dispersion. Does anyone actually know for sure what it is??? lol.
