On average I was able to fire ~15.2 shots per second, which results in a dps of ~451 (Boundless CR damage = 29.7).
A dps of 451 is almost on par with the dps of an AR (453), though the CR has a 20% better effective range than the AR. So there certainly is room for tweaking as well.
The point though still remains that the ScR performs much better, especially when you compare it to the RR which has a similar range and got its stats reduced multiple times because of that. Also the ScR performs very good in both close and long range engagements where the other rifles have at least some disadvantage in either.
As I said before, someone who uses a ScR regularly, and possibly even uses an Amarr Assaut, won't have too many problems with managing the heat built-up - same as CR users don't have problems with finding the right "rhythm", as you can't just pull the trigger as fast as you can because that will actually reduce your dps.
The ability to charge shots also is a huge advantage because it massively reduces the time for an opponent to retaliate. You can't find this kind of advantage on any other rifle.
Do any of these weapons leave you dancing in the street if you screw up and pull the trigger too many times?
Do any of these weapons require you to stop shooting at times to stop the above from happening?
If you think managing heat build up on a non assault suit is oh so easy then you obviously have not used this in a combat situation and you definitely have not done it against an armor bricked suit of any kind. On this note I find it very interesting that when discussing the AR and the CR you are throwing out all kinds of numbers and saying I all over the place yet when you get to the ScR there is not much in the number area and it is all "some one who".
How about instead of whining on the forums you go put a ferroscale plate on, get good, and stop wasting everyone's time with your fabricated numbers. You have made it more than clear that you are just here too defend shields and combat rifles so just say it and let everyone else tell you to shut it as well.
