No, as the other Assaults don't receive bonuses that make them stronger.

How does making the AR better than the NK, Shotgun, and HMG fix the weapon?

I...never though about that... IT WOULD FIX THE WEAPON SO MUCH! How does making the AR better than the NK, Shotgun, and HMG fix the weapon? So you think that making the gun better at 15m isn't good? The AR is suppose to be great at CQC but is just mediocre. This would help make it good at CQC.
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.

Haaaave you met my friend Ad Hominem? Also, conjecture.
Yes I have, however looking at my assertions, which are:
1. No weapon besides the SCR and the ones listed in my previous post kill Shield Tanks faster than the Assault Rifle in CQC
2. It's only surpassed [in CQC] when the AR is pitted against Armored Targets (or by weapons previously listed).
3. Assault Rifles are supposed to be weak against Armored Targets.
They're all facts which are easily proven with in-game tests, statistics, and in the case of #3 information already supplied to us by CCP, therefore not conjecture.

Then what? Make the other assaults bonuses worst so they fit with the Cal/Gal?
No, give the Cal/Gal bonuses which fit with the Min/Am, which would be bonuses that improve their weapon's abilities while in an engagement (that don't involve DPS increases).
Stronger probably wasn't the proper term, I meant to say that the other Assaults don't receive bonuses that increase their potential health or regen, and as such the Cal/Gal shouldn't receive them either.

The AR shares in optimal with a lot of weapons that out class it(including other rifles which all have longer ranges) why should it not it not be the best rifle under 40 meters?
I never said that the Scrambler Rifle should be dropping targets faster under 40m (even though the AR's optimal is actually 50m, as proven by Musta Tornius's range tests), all I stated was that it does kill Shield Targets faster.
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.
