Musta's range table is a year out of date. There have been range changes since then. Range no longer varies between tiers, for instance. The in game optimal is definitely not 50m.

Another thing I never claimed was that it shouldn't be the best rifle within it's niche, however making it the better version of the HMG, SG, and NK (which giving it 900 DPS at 5m, and 680 DPS at 20m will do) won't do anything but make the Assault Rifle overpowered.
Aztec's suggestion was ludicrously over the top. However, the principle behind it is sound.
Let me quote you something.

Is the Assault Rifle mediocre or is your ability to use with the AR mediocre? Against Shields nothing but the Scrambler Rifle (and the weapons listed in my previous post) kills a target faster than the AR in CQC, the only time it's surpassed is when fighting Armor bricks, which the AR is supposed to be weak against anyways.
Not only does your post resort to ad hominem, but it also leads to conjecture. Saying 'Against Shields nothing but the Scrambler Rifle kills a target faster than the AR in CQC' strongly suggests that the AR has a notable advantage over others in its class.
It does not.
Look at the DPS numbers for the rifles. The difference between the automatics is, at maximum, 10%. The range difference between the automatics approaches 100%.
This is, obviously, a very significant range difference. Is it then so much to suggest that such a significant range sacrifice should lead to a genuinely noticeable advantage elsewhere?
Ultimately, the AR is only mediocre in CQC, especially if you consider the satanic levels of DPS the HMG spits out - almost twice what the AR does - despite being in a very similar range bracket.

Reduction to Kick per level
or
Reduction to Charge Time per level
For Hybrid Rails of course.
Agreed.
It seems more difficult to find a consensus on the Galassault.

I had suggested range previously. It didn't really gain much momentum as a suggestion, although by that logic you are suggesting (the same logic I followed) it seems fairly obvious.

Reload reduction would also be genuinely useful on the Galassault, yes.
So range or reload are suggestions, then.

I would note that a 25% range bonus would barely take ARs up to CR ranges.
Not sure about bothering keeping the current bonus, Noc. It just doesn't really do anything.

I'm fairly sure Rattati was considering a Calassault bonus change but I'm not sure about the Galassault bonus.
