I'm sorry, but until "ztimulated" is a word, there's no such thing as a "lazer rifle".
As for the actual point of the thread, Lasers (not "lazers") have a MINIMUM effective range. If you get close, they stop dealing significant damage. They're kind of like snipers, but without even the option of quick-scoping and praying.
Also, I've dropped 6 people in one clip with a Militia Shotgun on several occasions. I've seen HMG Heavies take down 7 or more players without reloading. ARs routinely go through more than 3 people between reloads. I've seen Snipers get a kill with each of their 5 shots. Lasers aren't unique in that respect in DUST. If you're good and/or have the right skills trained, and the enemy team let you play to your weapon's strengths, you can slaughter people fast. |

In Ambush, a couple of good players with Laser Rifles (or Sniper Rifles) can effectively control the match. If you have too many, though, the enemy can swamp you with ARs, SMGs and Shotguns, get into CQC, then start your team on the cycle of spawn and die instead of you doing it to them.
I've joined games where the enemy team is heavily unbalanced in favour of ranged firepower, and I've had times where I've joined a match with 70+ clones on the enemy team, and 40 - 50 on my team's side, and a single competent Shotgunner with Drop Uplinks has been all it took to break their dominance of the battlefield. |

Just remembered one that nobody seems to have mentioned yet.
I got more than 10 kills with only one shot using a Precision Strike.
How's that for OP? |

It's not luck and not just skill.
I recognise the name. Never seen him get better than 20 kills, and never seen him with less than 5 deaths.
It's not just luck. It's not just skill. But luck AND skill are a good combo. |
