So I skilled heavily into ARs and decided, with a buff to bursts incoming, to test them out and see what buff would be good for them. I have to say, I can't really see but one thing that I don't like. More on that in a minute, first the good points.

First, it has actually nice damage application. I was running on GalAssault 5 sharpshooter 5, and wow does it shred anything right in front of you. I have gone 20/0 with little effort on my part. It decimates shields at prof 5, and even armor suits (sentinels no less) have retreated in the face of me.

The only thing i don't like is the timing of it. When I'm pulsing the trigger it feels like the gun "hiccups" and I miss a burst quite often. I'm not sure what causes it, and I can kind of mitigate it, but even when I'm solely focusing on it (ie: not fighting, just firing into a wall) I tend to get the hiccup and lose a burst. If we could fix that hiccup, I think the burst would be just fine.

If it still needs soe help after that, I would say give it a 2% damage buff, but that is all.

Funny??.... The Scrambler rifle doesn't suffer from any fire hiccup issues does it? The Tac and burst AR both have that hiccup between shots. They were once compared in a video that showed the AR's shots being interrupted by this "hiccup".
