All the factions seem to be getting their own version of the assault rifle, some kind of general purpose rifle; the Gallente obviously have the assault rifle, the Caldari are getting the gauss rifle, and the Amarr are getting the scrambler rifle. For the sake of symmetry, the Minmatar should get something as well. So I propose the  Minmatar storm rifle .
Important part
Attributes
Initial rate of fire: 1500 RPM (25 rounds per second)
damage: 14 (350 damage per second)
Magazine: 120 rounds (8 seconds of continuous fire. To compare, the assault rifle has about 5 seconds)
Accuracy: extremely low, very high bullet spread.
The storm rifle's damage per second is comparable to, but ultimately lower to the assault rifle's (which is 387.5). The main advantage of the the storm rifle is its magazine size (allowing for 3 more seconds of continuous fire compared to the AR), but it trades way accuracy and precision for that advantage. Why the insane fire rate? Insane fire rate weapons are really really fun to use; Dust 514 needs more guns with insane ROF.
Now about the other details
Sound: I envision the sound to me very metallic and deep. Because the fire rate is so high, the individual sounds of bullet all blend into one. Here are some examples of sounds that fit: a jackhammer, and Killzone 3's minigun.
Gun model: A very Minmatar-looking assault rifle obviously, but I have some requests regarding the magazine placement. I noticed that most guns in Dust don't seem to have much variety in their magazine placement, it would be nice to have some bullpup designs (magazine in the back), or even have the magazine under and parallel to the barrel like the Russian bizon SMG; It would really make the weapon selection of Dust look more diverse.
Here are some images of weapon models which I think exemplify how the storm rifle could look awesome. This, and this. Could be usedul as inspiration. |

Sort of, but the ROF is actually higher than the HMG. |

A scifi AK-47 would be fitting, though I think the weapon models I linked fit that general description. |

Something like this with a magazine would be cool. Something brown, big, and clunky, but with a bit of scifi flare like the mass driver's appearance. |

How is its hip fire compared to ADS? The breach weapons tend to have greater hip fire accuracy along with low RPMs, so conversely, a high RPM weapon might have severely reduced hip fire capabilities?
Hipfire should definitely still be usable, one thing I hate about most shooters but love in Dust is the hipfire; I love being able to hipfire. For the storm rifle, while still usable, it should lose its usefulness past 30 meters, and require aiming down sight. |

More badass pictures of what it could (loosely) look like:
