They are supposed to be a long rangekiller, yet the AR has a longer range, and the sight is terrible. It seems as though I (and most other people) can kill faster at longer ranges. Plus, Laser Rifles costmore to buy/use, sowhat's the point? |

They seem to be really effective as an area denial weapon. One in a team blocking an exit for the enemy and it can be lethal. |

It depends of your sharpshooter skill, and your ennemi's one.
If he's got a proficiency lvl5 and you just the basic lvl3, it's just the way it has to be. Ad a Tactical AR with longer range than the other, and you're dead ;) |

Until AR recoil is fixed, ARs will be better. Since I'm using an advanced LR now, I can say that LRs get significantly better than ARs at long range when you use the higher-tier ones. My advanced LR can keep dishing out great damage (to shields) for a pretty long time- I can't even get this one to overheat if I try. |

This is just not the case. any AR, aside from the breach has a longer max range, regardless of your sharpshooter skill. |

Makes sense, since it's an energy weapon. |

They have shorter range, but no diminishing power over range, + pinpoint accuracy. The Viziam is very expensive, but compared to other prototype weapons, it is devastatingly effective. The skill in use comes from maintaining your range, and/or supporting a squad by stripping shields.
People want them to be a cool AR, that's not the best way to think of them. |
