I've been doing some research with numbers for how often certain weapons are used. This is based off of how many kills were made with each type of weapon in a match. These numbers were also gathered from 12 matches (4 ambush, 4 skirmish, 4 OMS)
I don't have the time to give out detailed information about numbers as I am about to leave for work. Maybe at a later date.
This is what I found though:
54% - Assault Rifles
13% - Snipers
12% - Laser Rifles
8% - HMG
7% - Tanks
2% - Grenades
1% - SMG's
The last 3% were of the following (in order of highest to lowest):
Installations
Shotguns
Forge guns
Mass drivers
Other kills (i.e. running people over, remote explosives, etc.)
Keep in mind that there are some numbers here that really shouldn't be so high (such as the sniper rifles) that were brought up mainly because of a few matches where people resorted to their basic sniper fits and sniper each other from across the map.
The assault rifles were always the majority of kills, and more often than not they were more than 50% of the kills during a match. Because of how fast the feed goes, there was no possible way for me to get more detailed specs unless I recorded it and watched the killboard later.
Another thing to note is that even though I sat in the battle and did nothing, I was able to still get around 4k sp per match and about 150k isk for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. This needs to be fixed as well. |

Cool, should help players make fits to combat the majority of threats.
Makes me think though, could ccp make a giant graph of this like they did with equipment purchases for the equipment dev blog? |

I'm suprised that the Laser rifle is so high and shotguns+installations are so low, I rarely see a laser in my matches and usually see a few shotguns.
Mass driver makes sense, only ever saw 3 people other than me use it. |

When you get a chance to reply I'd like to know what maps these were taken from. Because if most of them were manus peak that could explain why there were so many laser kills compared to shotguns and smgs |

I'm sad to see that there are a lot less heavies in matches now. Lately I have seen mostly Assault. |

Lies, Manus Peak sees tons of lasers in Ambush.

Would be nice to know the maps you sampled since HMG's and Tanks do seem low. Great work though, very good info |

Snipers look to be almost exactly as I expected. Lasers seem a little higher than I was expecting, SMGs and Shotguns much lower. I'd have expected more like 7 or 8% on Lasers, with 3 or 4% SMG, and maybe 2% Shotguns. |

Well like i said earlier, if he was playing in manus peak then that would be why long range weapons seem to be so much more effective than cqc |

Remember you guys, these are only the stats from a few matches. If I had the time to record 100 matches and present the data, I'm sure that laser rifles and snipers would be much lower on the list.
There was one match where a guy with a laser rifle went 20/0, which probably skewed the data, alongside a couple matches where laser rifle players were killing off the snipers.
Honestly I think that the HMG and tanks get a TON more kills, but sadly I saw very few of them on while playing.
As for the maps, I'm not really sure which ones I played on, but the LR guy was on the tabletop thing, and the snipers were on manus peak. Also, the tanks were on manus peak and a 5 point map. |

Its a rifle that can be used by any suit, a good all around weapon, and... not too hard to use, and works good with a team of people all using it.
Something like a shotgun is much more nich, and a solo gun.
Surprised people ever say any other gun is op, if any gun you think is op, just skill and use it. In a open ended fitting game, not much restrictions exist on how you can play. |

Yes but it is not just "good", it is excellent at everything it does good. The one downside to assault rifles is the fact that they are less accurate at their max range. The AR in this game is accurate no matter what range as long as you aim down the sights, which means that the only flaw it should have in the first place is not apparent.

I do use this gun more than any other because the disadvantage of using it is nothing compared to the disadvantage of using ANY OTHER WEAPON. Laser rifle?/Bad at close range. HMG?/Only heavies can use, easier to be hit, bad at long range. Sniper?/Only good at long range. Assault rifle?/Um...it can't kill tanks? |

I've always felt that the Assault Rifle was way too versatile, and that it's taking away from specialization.
Seeing that high of a percentage is... Discouraging... |

Interesting read. I am nothing without my AR. My AR is nothing without me. |
