All weapons are tiered the same as Dropsuits, and increase in damage with each tier.
The Minmatar Republic makes six different weapons, the Combat Rifle, the Mass Driver, the Flaylock Pistol, the Submachine Gun, Nova Knives, and the Heavy Machine Gun.
Combat Rifle: My personal favorite, the MinmatarGÇÖs rifle is good at medium to close range, has a large clip size, and does projectile damage, which means it will do 85% damage against shields, while doing 115% against armor. It is a light weapon and it comes in two variants.
The regular combat rifle is a semiautomatic rifle that does shots in bursts of four, if you can make all your shots count, this weapon is deadly. It has a very good clip size and a good reload time. It comes with a scope.
The assault combat rifle is an automatic variant that does less damage per shot, but has a larger clip size and a faster fire rate. It is good if you release the trigger when firing every couple seconds as this weapon has a god awful kick if you hold it down. Leveling up the Combat Rifle Sharpshooter skill is a skill you might want to look at if you use this weapon. This weapon does not have a scope and uses iron sights.
Mass Driver: A little bit like a futuristic grenade launcher, it explodes on impact and you will do most of your damage with its explosion. It has a small clip size and a very small max ammo, so be sure to bring a nanohive. The mass driver does explosive damage, which means it will do 80% damage against shields, while doing 120% damage against armor. It is a light weapon and it comes in three different variants. All mass drivers are semiautomatic.
The regular mass driver has a explosive object which arcs to deal splash damage to opponents, it is good for driving people out of cover. You can also deal good damage to LAVs. It comes with sights but theyGÇÖre awful so donGÇÖt use them. The regular mass driver is arguably the best mass driver.
The breach mass driver variant is a mass driver that has very little splash radius and damage, but does huge direct damage. However it has a very low clip size, and a very low max ammo, so it is pretty useless unless you want to spitwad vehicles.
The assault mass driver variant is a mass driver that has a larger splash damage than the regular mass driver, but does less damage. It is very good for driving people out of cover and also good for confusing and scattering the enemy team.
Submachine Gun: The submachine gun is a weapon that does low damage, but has a huge clip size and a very high fire rate. However it has a very low range so it is suited for very close range combat when there is several enemies. The motto of this weapon is GÇ£spray and prey.GÇ¥ It deals projectile damage. It is a sidearm and it comes in three variants.
The regular submachine gun has a very large clip, a high fire rate, and deals good damage. However it has a short range. It comes with a sight but most of the time you will hipfire this weapon, although there are some cases where you would use the sight.
The breach submachine variant is a submachine gun that has a smaller clip, a slower firing rate, but better damage, and better dispersion. It also is better over range. Right now it is arguably the best submachine gun.
The assault submachine variant is a submachine gun with a larger clip size than the regular submachine gun, a higher fire rate, less dispersion, and slightly more damage. It also has a higher range. From the description it sounds like it might be the best out of all of these, but trust me when I say it is not.
