There is a loss of accuracy, not to mention the tremendous muzzle climb. Standard assault rifles (Assault Rifle/GEK-38 Assault rifle/etc) suffer the worst, while breach rifles tend to have less of a problem which may be due more to the smaller mag size than anything else. It could also be considered to be a heavier rifle than the standard AR, owing to its larger caliber, thus also reducing muzzle climb. I haven't personally tried the burst AR's yet though I suppose I should.
You may be fighting people with high AR skills and seeing the large bonuses of that. The difference between level 1 and level 5 in assault rifle operation (I believe it's operation, the one that gives -5% to dispersion and kick per level) is tremendous.
At close range, my GEK 38 gets outmatched by just about any decent SMG due to the higher ROF. SMG's also get a skill that increase the accuracy, do they not? I get gunned down more often by SMG's at close range than just about anything else, personally. It takes luck, poor aim on their part, or good use of cover to survive at 0-30m with an SMG user. |

I'm not complaining for either side. I think AR's are fairly well balanced where they are, and I believe SMG's are as well. Admittedly, I haven't used SMG's often or specced into them at all, my only experience with them coming from using the Toxin gained with the Mercenary Pack as a sidearm. It does well in close quarters, but gets handily outmatched by an AR at any sort of range, which is how it should be.
I believe what the OP is complaining about are those 30-70m encounters where a sniper's rifle is not always effective and neither is his SMG, but someone scoping with an assault rifle can continue pushing forward while shooting (fairly) accurately and take him out. It's certainly not an unrealistic feat by any means. |
