If TAR (GLU-5 for example) will have 12 bullets in clip (like it was rumored previously) it will be the same as Laser Rifles right now... useless... regardless of ROF cap.
It takes approx 6 in-body shots for GLU-5 to take down some Proto guy at optimal without damage mods.
So in result this weapon only become viable for very good shooters that uses mouse to perfectly aim.
If you spam it you'l probably end up having more reload time than actualy shooting time :)

Then that would make it work as intended. It's called the tactical rifle, not the spam rifle. Fire your shots wisely. If the GLU-5 takes 6 shots out of 12 to kill then that's 1 kill per clip if you miss half you shots, pretty in-line with everything else. And that's the GLU-5, the Duvolle TAR would still be pretty good. I do not believe you would need some godly aiming. It would not be useless. The Scrambler Rifle can only get off 15 shots before overheating and people do pretty good with that (well, at least I do and I use a DualShock 3).

Everything that has a scope on it (including SR) should have default crosshair removed. Long range weapons are not meant for close combat, where you can strafe and shoot like you do with full-auto. And yea i know about stickers on TV :)

Shooting SR is not the same as shooting TAC AR, you have no recoil and only thing you need to adjust to deliver dps is position of enemy and not compensate "Y" axis jump. So basicaly you want to equalize two different rifles. Its way much easier to deliver 12 shots with SR than with TAC AR. I am not fan of TAC AR, i would rather use FA AR, but for now i use TAC AR even for close range, shooting down people without zoom like i am using FA AR. Yesterday i've tried using FA AR again after ~ week of using TAC AR and lol, it is way to gimp for close range, TAC AR outmatches it by all means. Also, do not forget that DUST is team-play game. Both you and me know what SR + MD doing to people when combined... :) I am not in any way trying to defend TAC AR. I just want it to be useless in close range, like sniper rilfe. 12 shots is enough to kill enemy that running ~15-20m from you and not enough to kill enemy that running ~45m (for it intended range)
